Great for your style. </p> <p>Our winter is a lot like yours. Personally, I don't layer much --- a full sleeved tee &amp; a coat (buttoned) over it. </p> <p>But if you do layer, and can add a scarf to keep your chest warm InCase you're out in the chilly winds, this will be absolutely great to add to your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-coat-opinions-sought/page/2#post-1674882 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 15:55:16 +0000 Anonymous 1674882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great in it!

It looks gorgeous, very classy, and just made for that outfit you are wearing it over. The fit is fantastic. I trust your judgment about its suitability for climate. (To me, it looks like a fabulous indoor topper, which makes agree with CocoLion--let's move to your neck of the woods!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-coat-opinions-sought#post-1674570 Tue, 07 Jun 2016 04:47:48 +0000 Deborah 1674570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your thoughts.

Thumbs up. (I think the sleeves are actually supposed to be shorter on Deb, Janet).&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-coat-opinions-sought#post-1674229 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 15:36:05 +0000 Elle 1674229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it and it seems to suit your style. &nbsp;So I'm a YES. &nbsp;You seem to have thought about the open front, which others have noted. &nbsp;I also have to laugh about this being a "winter" coat. &nbsp;Not a hint of down..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-coat-opinions-sought#post-1674193 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 14:03:26 +0000 Anonymous 1674193@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it too - but am killing myself laughing at how this is a " Winter coat ". Ah, to live south of Equator &nbsp; &nbsp;However, and regarding the no-closure aspect - that's never bothered me in moderate weather, and I'm sure if you needed one for harsher weather you'd wear something else. This looks great the way you've style it here. I really wish Canada had retail options like Motto. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-coat-opinions-sought#post-1674185 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 13:37:42 +0000 Suz 1674185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What CocoLion said.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am envious that this counts as a "winter" coat!! It's lovely but would be completely useless in my climate. Sigh.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-coat-opinions-sought#post-1674172 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 12:41:08 +0000 Janet 1674172@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's nice but the sleeves look short -- not quite bracelet length (like they appear to be in the stock photo). And the lack of closure, while not a dealbreaker, gives me pause too. Are you just starting to look? Unless you are deeply in love, I would be inclined to keep looking. Somehow this is not blowing me away like so many of your other pieces. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-coat-opinions-sought#post-1674162 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 12:18:00 +0000 Anonymous 1674162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks good and very much in keeping with your style. I like the ink, and it seems to have black edging to tie things together when you wear all black. If you love it, you have a yay vote from me. </p> <p>What do your emotions say? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-coat-opinions-sought#post-1674161 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 12:08:59 +0000 lyn67 1674161@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For your winters (as described above) should be fine! I think cut and fit is all gorgeous, fits you perfect and matches your current wardrobe and style! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-coat-opinions-sought#post-1674153 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 11:47:29 +0000 Helen11 1674153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks so much better on you than in the stock photo - I imagine it's better again in real life. Ponte sounds like it could be a good weight for you. Your winter still sounds cold to me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-coat-opinions-sought#post-1674145 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 11:11:49 +0000 El Cee 1674145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous in the coat. My only concern is, as others have mentioned, that without a closure it might not give you the warmth you need on the coldest days. If this is an addition to an already existing "coat capsule", then this might not even be an issue. You may have other coats that you can wear if you need more warmth and coverage.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-coat-opinions-sought#post-1674143 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 11:01:20 +0000 Aquamarine 1674143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's gorgeous on you, and looks much better than the stock photo. If you don't need it for true warmth or gear, I think it's a keeper. A ponte coat/topper sounds kind of awesome to me....lightweight warmth. Our winters are so cold, wet, and snowy that I am jealous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-coat-opinions-sought#post-1674130 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 10:08:54 +0000 Style Fan 1674130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the coat for your style Deborah.&nbsp; I do wonder about the closure part but it seems that you have something in mind.&nbsp; I am very envious of your winters.&nbsp; I am a ball of fleece in the winter.&nbsp; Fashion doesn't exist.&nbsp; I would wear that coat inside to keep warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-coat-opinions-sought#post-1674108 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 08:11:16 +0000 Brooklyn 1674108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another yes vote. I like the coat for your style. Personally I would have no problem with it being Ponte. (But I hardly ever need a coat. A jacket is usually enough for me.) The fact that it can't shut might bother me a little on windy days but, if that does not worry you, I say go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-coat-opinions-sought#post-1674106 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 07:55:45 +0000 Cococat 1674106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the subtle oversized look to it with the dropped shoulder seam and slight cocoon shape. I think it goes really well with your style.<br />I vote yes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-coat-opinions-sought#post-1674105 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 07:51:53 +0000 CocoLion 1674105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote yes Deborah. &nbsp;Looks great on you. &nbsp;The fashion options and climate are making me want to move to Oz! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-coat-opinions-sought#post-1674104 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 07:41:29 +0000 anne 1674104@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fair enough re driving. I have a 700m+ walk to the bus at 7:30am so that colours my experience! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-coat-opinions-sought#post-1674102 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 07:33:25 +0000 jenanded 1674102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of the above... it looks fine, and probably enough for your purposes. Do you have or want something to go outdoors in winter? If so, I would go for something with closures even if you do layer underneath....<br /> btw, when your coat is sorted we can work on mine lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-coat-opinions-sought#post-1674089 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 06:56:29 +0000 Sal 1674089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it from a fashion perspective and for the uses you described it would work well. The length colour and shape are good on you. Is this a Motto one?</p> <p>I have two wool winter coats and I have worn them once each to date! I was planning to get a new one but I am thinking something a little lighter is a good option, although I do like to close coats against wind.</p> <p>I have worn my lightweight puffer and my raincoat the most this year- both definitely gear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-coat-opinions-sought#post-1674084 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 06:38:53 +0000 Bijou 1674084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this on you and think it is perfect for an Aussie winter. I much prefer the length of the coat on you to the catalogue pic as it looks too short on the model. My one issue with winter coats is that they can feel to heavy on, so if this is light to wear, then I think it is a great addition to your wardrobe. I like the black piping which works so well when wearing the coat with black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/new-coat-opinions-sought#post-1674083 Mon, 06 Jun 2016 06:34:36 +0000 Deborah 1674083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne maybe I should have referred to it as a jacket;) </p>
