I will report back when it arrives :D Bonnie, oh, that's a stellar coat!! I love the green color too. I ordered the coat. More to come! Bonnie on "Oversized Cocoon Coat?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-cocoon-coat#post-2396727 Tue, 07 Oct 2025 00:28:38 +0000 Bonnie 2396727@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have a similar coat in green and like it a lot. It is very versatile and goes well with boho style. Lisa on "Oversized Cocoon Coat?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-cocoon-coat#post-2396585 Sat, 04 Oct 2025 02:14:39 +0000 Lisa 2396585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This looks like a classic that will be very versatile. I think this color and length will be lovely on you. It's worth a try! Ket on "Oversized Cocoon Coat?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-cocoon-coat#post-2396545 Fri, 03 Oct 2025 00:34:22 +0000 Ket 2396545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Jaime, I'm glad you reminded me of need not being relevant. I still get caught in the guilt/need trap occasionally. So thank you for reminding me to enjoy <3 :D  Roberta, I love a good enabler Thank you! <div> </div><div>Angie, oooo! loving yours!  I am hesitating just a smidge because I'm not 100% sure on the size. Technically Mango's XL wouldn't fit me at my present size. However, this coat looks to be quite generously oversized, so wondering if it will work.  Indigo, oooo! Super true! We do have very long cold seasons where I live. We have sunnier winters, but still long and cold, and even windy.  Cookie, I do wish it buttoned or snapped in the front. that said, I think it's mean to be worn as a medium-weight layer over hoodies and sweaters. (That is how bothMango and Tanisha styled it.) Not a good coat for a windy day, but I think it will work on other days. (I hope!) I can always sew some snaps onto it if I find I need a closure. Lise, it is a bit heavier without being a super heavy coat. So I'm saying YAY with you :D Sisi, Carol, thank you! I do think I am going to try it... LJP, that's a very good point about this style being versatile and having longevity! So thank you! I know it's not quite a cocoon cut, but it's also not super waist shaped like I typically buy. It's sort of cocoon lite?  </div> LJP on "Oversized Cocoon Coat?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-cocoon-coat#post-2396515 Wed, 01 Oct 2025 12:54:14 +0000 LJP 2396515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This type of sweater/coat ( I don't see it as a cocoon cut) is very versatile and has longevity in a wardrobe like other coats don't.  I think this would would work really well for you ! Carol on "Oversized Cocoon Coat?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-cocoon-coat#post-2396514 Wed, 01 Oct 2025 12:41:16 +0000 Carol 2396514@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it is a solid choice! I love that long, beltless silhouette, and it looks timeless.  Sisi on "Oversized Cocoon Coat?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-cocoon-coat#post-2396513 Wed, 01 Oct 2025 09:20:03 +0000 Sisi 2396513@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You may not really need it, but the Mango coat is beautiful and I can see you wear it very well. If it's second-hand so much better! Star (Lise) on "Oversized Cocoon Coat?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-cocoon-coat#post-2396511 Wed, 01 Oct 2025 05:45:04 +0000 Star (Lise) 2396511@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think it will definitely fit in with your style and suit you.  It seems the shape is sufficiently different to what you have, and it is a thicker, so I am a YES. Cookie on "Oversized Cocoon Coat?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-cocoon-coat#post-2396506 Wed, 01 Oct 2025 02:48:14 +0000 Cookie 2396506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Personally, in practical terms I don’t really understand these coats that don’t close. I guess they make sense if you’re not outside much? Indigoprint on "Oversized Cocoon Coat?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-cocoon-coat#post-2396503 Wed, 01 Oct 2025 01:46:38 +0000 Indigoprint 2396503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ If it works in your budget and you have a long cold season I say go for it. Cold can be long so it is nice to have a variety to keep it fresh. Angie on "Oversized Cocoon Coat?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-cocoon-coat#post-2396501 Wed, 01 Oct 2025 01:41:14 +0000 Angie 2396501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What Jaime and Roberta said :)  Try it, Ket. Have fun assessing whether you'll like the vibe of a new-to-you silhouette. Why not! Got to keep life's jollies flowing.  I have three cocoon coats. Two Winter and one Spring. The Winter ones are especially versatile!  Roberta on "Oversized Cocoon Coat?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-cocoon-coat#post-2396495 Wed, 01 Oct 2025 00:21:55 +0000 Roberta 2396495@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think this would be gorgeous with your coloring and tall frame, so I am here to enable you as well. The coat being second-hand is a bonus! Jaime on "Oversized Cocoon Coat?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-cocoon-coat#post-2396493 Wed, 01 Oct 2025 00:11:01 +0000 Jaime 2396493@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ If you can find it second hand, and you think it suits your vibe (certainly seems to based on the inspo pics), and you will enjoy trying it, I am an enabler. I am putting the question of need aside because, as I mention a lot, I don't think need is really relevant in most cases.  Ket on "Oversized Cocoon Coat?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-cocoon-coat#post-2396490 Tue, 30 Sep 2025 21:27:16 +0000 Ket 2396490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you all, again, for your lovely help! Update: I am getting the coat! Or rather, I bought a similar version of it.  More later!   -- . -- . -- . -- . -- . -- . -- . -- . -- . -- . -- . -- . -- . -- . -- . -- . -- . -- . --  My style inso for this autumn and winter are  <div> <ul> <li>Modern Outlander</li> <li>70's Glam</li> <li>Modern Luxe</li> </ul> I have been wondering about a camel cocoon coat, such as worn by Tanesha Awasthi in photo 1. Photos 2-6 are a few of my pins from my Modern Luxe board. Photos 7-8. This coat is by Mango and I found a version secondhand in size that might fit me, especially given its oversized. I have a lot of boho for this autumn and winter. I love boho! But I also love that modern elegant vibe. I feel this coat would mix well with the rest of my wardrobe style, as well as the colors. </div><div> </div><div>Thoughts?  I actually already own 2 thinner coats already. So do I really need another coat? No. But I do love the vibe of this one a lot! </div>
