I suspect it may not be the best style anyway with the shoulder detail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-on-laundry-sateen-military-trench-coat-from-bluefly#post-106687 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 03:24:24 +0000 Carole 106687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have very broad shoulders, Joy, and although I love this coat, I have found that any detail at or near the shoulder tends to draw attention there and that is the exact opposite of what I want, you may not have the same problem as I do, but I just thought I would give you my opinion.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-on-laundry-sateen-military-trench-coat-from-bluefly#post-106683 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 03:14:03 +0000 Angie 106683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Ana and Inge said! Try the trench, Joy. I have a stylsih 69 year old client in a military trench. She looks fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-on-laundry-sateen-military-trench-coat-from-bluefly#post-106620 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 21:52:04 +0000 Inge 106620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not knowledgeable enough to answer your question about this type of coat working for broad shouldered lasses or not, but I just had to say that it's a gorgeous coat and I'm 100% convinced that you could pull this off at any age Joy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-on-laundry-sateen-military-trench-coat-from-bluefly#post-106602 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 21:09:31 +0000 Ana 106602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Joy! I love this jacket, and I definitely think you could pull it off, even over 60. No problem. It's very chic and understated, but still has some spunk. </p> <p>I have broad shoulders and tend to stay away from this styling as well, but I have had some military styles work for me. It really just depends on the item, and I can only tell when I have it on. I think you should order this and give it a try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/question-on-laundry-sateen-military-trench-coat-from-bluefly#post-106545 Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:41:59 +0000 Anonymous 106545@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Although I probably won't buy it, I love the trench you posted on the weekend blog, the Laundry sateen military trench coat from bluefly, and have a couple of questions in case I can't resist this coat or find another similar style.<br /> 1. Is this coat age appropriate for over 60?<br /> 2. Will the shoulder details work with wide shoulders? Usually I avoid this, but these look like they take up less space and don't extend to the edge of the shoulder seam. Could that actually visually narrow the shoulder line? </p>
