Both colours are neutral so I'm not thinking about my outfits. I am thinking about getting dirty. I am also worried that it might be too hot for some situations. It is heavier cotton but it is a light viscose lining, not the heavier cotton check lining of the other one so the warmth might be similar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-went-into-burberry-beverly-hills/page/2#post-967122 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 17:19:37 +0000 rae 967122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why don't you try it with some of your travel outfits and see how it looks? Also think about your travel activities... I always end up sitting in subways, on park benches, etc, but you may travel by cab and not need to worry about the grit as much.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-went-into-burberry-beverly-hills/page/2#post-967119 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 17:15:32 +0000 ElleH 967119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>MNsara. I wouldn't give up the Burberry but it is for travel so it needs to be the colour &amp; weight needed for that predominantly. I don't have much need here in LA. Maybe black is more practical for me.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-went-into-burberry-beverly-hills/page/2#post-967108 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 16:35:07 +0000 MNsara 967108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am super practical about <b><i>some</i></b> things, and having a&nbsp;<b><i>black packable </i></b>trench for travel is one of those things.&nbsp; I would<b><i> not </i></b>give up the khaki for that reason. </p> <p>It's just that&nbsp;some trips I pack really light, and that black trench is my jacket/raincoat, balled up pillow, travel blanket, robe for quick runs to the lobby for morning coffee, etc.&nbsp; It gets spilled on, wadded up, thrown in the wash/hung dry, etc.&nbsp; I wouldn't put a Burberry through those paces - but that's me and my protective nature.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-went-into-burberry-beverly-hills/page/2#post-967102 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 16:24:47 +0000 ElleH 967102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is quite heavy &amp; will be too hot for Summer rain in NY. What do New Yorkers wear in Spring &amp; Summer when it is hot but raining? It will also be too bulky to pack, have to wear on plane so will have to put it in a dirty container through security at airport. Maybe I should get black. MN Sara I could get a cheaper black one. I can't afford 2 Burberrys but as an LA person, this one is the one intended for travel. We don't get a lot of rain here &amp; we are always in our cars. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-went-into-burberry-beverly-hills/page/2#post-967087 Sat, 29 Jun 2013 15:46:53 +0000 Angie 967087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY!!!!!

I also found out the dark one in pics is ink. There is a black one but they didn't have it in the store. I just hope I can keep it clean enough for only annual dry cleaning which is what they recommend. I wont be needing to wear it in LA for a while so I can always switch for ink or black before my trip&nbsp;I guess.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-went-into-burberry-beverly-hills/page/2#post-966792 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 21:59:02 +0000 Anonymous 966792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have pets? Pet hair color may be a factor. I prefer the tan on you. The black would be more likely to show fading over time and msy look harsh as you get older (but you can add a scarf). Really, you can't go wrong so if you love one more, choose it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-went-into-burberry-beverly-hills/page/2#post-966788 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 21:48:51 +0000 ElleH 966788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It is advised to avoid dry cleaning too often due to it removing the water resistance. This is what concerns me. I just hope it feels ok to wear with everything the way tan does. I see so many more tan ones on pinterest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-went-into-burberry-beverly-hills/page/2#post-966782 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 21:35:30 +0000 missvee 966782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the classic tan better, and I wouldn't be overly concerned about stains. My husband wore his Burberry for at least 15 years with only minor staining, all of which was removed by dry cleaning. It still looks as good as new. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-went-into-burberry-beverly-hills/page/2#post-966762 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 20:26:44 +0000 unfrumped 966762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can understand your concerns. It's also an issue I've thought of when considering pricey items. I can think of the investment and the CPW and enjoyment but sometimes have to think, how would I feel if I spilled my lunch on my super $$ blouse. Difficult questions!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-went-into-burberry-beverly-hills/page/2#post-966760 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 20:25:46 +0000 Anonymous 966760@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you like the tan better, I wouldn't worry about the off chance of something crazy happening to it. Any good drycleaner should be able to take care of stains and Burberry didn't get their reputation by accident. I'm sure the fabric is quite capable of taking a beating and looking good for a long time.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-went-into-burberry-beverly-hills/page/2#post-966757 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 20:20:07 +0000 ElleH 966757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure if I have an aesthetic preference Angie but I think black is safer for avoiding stains. At this price it scares me getting the tan. I am careful but I read about someone having someone else spill red wine on them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-went-into-burberry-beverly-hills/page/2#post-966705 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 19:15:16 +0000 Anonymous 966705@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would pick tan because it is so classic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-went-into-burberry-beverly-hills/page/2#post-966698 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 19:08:31 +0000 Inge 966698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh Elle. These are perfect, so so stunning. I vote tan too, more flattering against your skin I think. I also&nbsp;love the contrasting black buttons, and it looks beautiful with your dark hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-went-into-burberry-beverly-hills/page/2#post-966649 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 18:33:20 +0000 AviaMariah 966649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tan! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-went-into-burberry-beverly-hills/page/2#post-966611 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 18:04:28 +0000 Angie 966611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I much prefer the tan with the black buttons - but I have a feeling I will be in the minority. The tan makes your lovely face pop. The black - not as much. Which do you prefer, Elle? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-went-into-burberry-beverly-hills/page/2#post-966578 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 17:03:56 +0000 cciele 966578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The fit on you is superb! This is your coat, Elle. Colorwise, hmm... hard to say but I'm leaning toward the tan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-went-into-burberry-beverly-hills/page/2#post-966569 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 16:55:29 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 966569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, you look <u>sharp</u>!&nbsp; I&nbsp; keep studying the photos to see if the agent from MI9 is lurking in the background, waiting for you to finish taking pictures, so he can hand off the microfilm to you.</p> <p>I can't decide which color I love more, they look equally fab . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-went-into-burberry-beverly-hills#post-966562 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 16:37:52 +0000 unfrumped 966562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeouos and tough call on color.<br />Interesting, in photos, one thing about black is that you could "get away" with lesser fit &amp; style whereas it really shows up in a lighter trench. But I expect that is partly the static photo and IRL and in daylight black has more interest than is apparent from these photos. Not saying that Burberry $$ is wasted on black, but there's a component of that.<br />&nbsp;Will you wear them open, a lot? I would, so I would try one, or them, that way, or think about it, with whatever&nbsp;you will &nbsp;wear under it. For example, I would wear a lot of dark pants and so black seems to "go" but then there is no contrast whatsoever--I'm a column of black. Or if you wear both dresses and jeans, what seems to "go" with both types of looks where the coat elevates the more casual wear? Because I think you want to wear the heck out of it and not save it for special. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-went-into-burberry-beverly-hills#post-966547 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 16:16:09 +0000 Janet 966547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to login just for this -- not even reading the other comments yet.

The black can be styled to be classic OR edgy, and you seem to go a bit more edgy in the winter, if I recall.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-went-into-burberry-beverly-hills#post-966467 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 15:02:48 +0000 Liz A. 966467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Slight preference for the black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oops-i-went-into-burberry-beverly-hills#post-966465 Fri, 28 Jun 2013 14:57:42 +0000 ElleH 966465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie thanks for the K to the power of K!
