I would likely buy a scarf to fill the neckline of the coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-my-red-peacoat#post-1074657 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 23:28:55 +0000 JAileen 1074657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! I love everyone's suggestions! In a million years I wouldn 't have thought of turquoise with red. But now I'm thinking of it. I have a chocolate brown cardigan sweater and I'll try that. I've ordered the striped sweater, the midnight blue and pewter sweaters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-my-red-peacoat#post-1074642 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 23:11:55 +0000 carter 1074642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the striped sweater. The second one in pewter would be great too. I also love red with chocolate brown, black or turquoise. If you like animal print (maybe in a scarf), leopard is one of my favorite things to put with red. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-my-red-peacoat#post-1074632 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 23:02:55 +0000 Kristin L 1074632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Moroccan blue and pewter as well. But I think if you pick the two you mentioned up top, they'd look great.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-my-red-peacoat#post-1074306 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 18:39:27 +0000 JAileen 1074306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I think the pewter would be a good color. I could wear all neutrals, except for the pop of red of the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-my-red-peacoat#post-1074294 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 18:30:53 +0000 celia 1074294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was going to suggest the blue menthol one but if you are more matchy matchy inclined why not a light pewter heather? It would match your hair color and you might find it more harmonious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-my-red-peacoat#post-1074286 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 18:25:21 +0000 JAileen 1074286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I thought the dark blue would look good with jeans, without actually being navy, which isn't a great color on me.<br /> I do have a lot of scarves and was trying to tie together a top and the jacket yesterday. I ended up wearing a pale avocado cardigan and the jacket with a knitted scarf with both of those colors in it. I'm afraid I'm very matchy matchy. Pathetically, actually. This is a closeup of the scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-my-red-peacoat#post-1074260 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 18:12:35 +0000 Suz 1074260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both your links and all the suggestions. It's true the first blue might look very preppy. But if you're okay with that, then no worries.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also...how about scarves? I usually need to fill the neckline of a coat like this anyway with something other than a top, when it's cold out. And you can pick a &nbsp;scarf or scarves in any pattern or colour that works with your coat and pants -- that way you don't have to worry that your tops don't "go."&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-my-red-peacoat#post-1074212 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 17:40:00 +0000 JAileen 1074212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alaskagirl, I agree the red and olive look wonderful together. Wendi, thanks for the nautical warning! Now I'm leaning toward the light pewter heather color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-my-red-peacoat#post-1074171 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 17:17:09 +0000 Wendi1984 1074171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are pretty! I actually like the Moroccan blue better for the first one; I think that color would be pretty with red. Also, how about the sort of camel color? I think camel goes well with red. The Midnight blue is pretty, but with the red coat, you'll like quite nautical or like an American flag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-my-red-peacoat#post-1074151 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 17:04:07 +0000 catgirl 1074151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/98797785547363187/" rel="nofollow">http://www.pinterest.com/pin/98797785547363187/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-my-red-peacoat#post-1074146 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 17:02:29 +0000 catgirl 1074146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love red and olive, if you can wear it, and that is not Christmas-y to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-my-red-peacoat#post-1074119 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 16:36:52 +0000 qfbrenda 1074119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally, I wouldn't worry about mixing different shades of red.&nbsp; I've seen lots of that done on purpose lately.&nbsp; Mixing green and red is trickier.&nbsp; I'm not knowledgeable about turtlenecks, so I'll let others address that issue.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-my-red-peacoat#post-1074099 Mon, 04 Nov 2013 16:27:51 +0000 JAileen 1074099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a classic red Pendleton peacoat that is a good color, good fit, and good quality. I want to wear it with both nice pants and jeans, but have a hard time styling it because nearly all of my tops are either red or a variation of green. (Red and green looks too Christmasy to me.) I finally realized I need some turtleneck sweaters as Angie mentioned in her post. </p> <p>I found these two sweaters on Lands End. What do you think? I especially like the striped one. I already have a long sleeved top in white with red stripes, but I thought that would look too cutesy with the jacket. I am middle aged with silver hair.</p> <p>In the blue stripe:<br /> <a href="http://www.landsend.com/products/womens-stripe-fine-gauge-supima-turtleneck-sweater/id_257406" rel="nofollow">http://www.landsend.com/produc...../id_257406</a></p> <p>In Midnight blue:<br /> <a href="http://www.landsend.com/products/womens-long-sleeve-fine-gauge-cotton-cable-turtleneck/id_258782" rel="nofollow">http://www.landsend.com/produc...../id_258782</a> </p>
