I think the barrel jeans outfit is my fave (love the trendy shape of the pants with the classic lines of the coat), but they are all fab. And that Yorkie brooch is soooo amazing--I remember it well!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-burberry/page/2#post-2405498 Tue, 03 Feb 2026 23:25:39 +0000 Angie 2405498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm back to say that the white barrel jeans option shown here is growing on me, and I will probably wear it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-burberry/page/2#post-2405229 Sun, 01 Feb 2026 16:11:05 +0000 Angie 2405229@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>kkards</b>, thank you! Yes, we see different things! I don't think the white jeans version is bad - just not in love with it. I suspect it will grow on me ;)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Lyn67</b>, thanks for the hair love! And yes, exactly. That's why the Burberry does not come out often ;)</p> <p><b>Emily,</b> glad this was helpful!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-burberry/page/2#post-2405179 Sun, 01 Feb 2026 02:46:07 +0000 aloha emily 2405179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so helpful!

It was a great piece when worn with dressy and structured slim cut&nbsp; office clothes for me- so that I was creating a dark and structure column for the colder seasons with it. Think&nbsp; that you are totally right the coat is beautiful but creates too big of a contrast in style, color and newer fashion vibes with your other current items. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-burberry/page/2#post-2405116 Sat, 31 Jan 2026 14:48:35 +0000 kkards 2405116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, i love all the outfits. &nbsp;I know you don’t like the coat with the cream jeans, but I do! &nbsp;Proving, once again, that fashion is highly personal. &nbsp;<div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-burberry/page/2#post-2405094 Sat, 31 Jan 2026 02:27:34 +0000 Angie 2405094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>LJP,</b> appreciate the encouragement for the white bottoms version. I'm warming up to it ;)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Rock</b>, URGH! Thanks for sharing your Burberry story. That sodding belt And Burberry prices at the moment are especially high. I get the chafing. At least you wore it a lot! Thanks for the kind words, and I'll get the brooch and citron versions out soonest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-burberry/page/2#post-2405089 Sat, 31 Jan 2026 01:39:03 +0000 Rock 2405089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As I follow the saga of the Burberry pea coat, I empathize with the experience of a lesson learned.&nbsp; Years ago, I bought a short black Burberry trench that came with a leather plate buckle belt instead of a self belt.&nbsp; I had it tailored, loved it, and wore it a lot.&nbsp; Then the prong on the belt broke.&nbsp; The lesson learned is that a self belt has greater longevity for a wardrobe item I plan to keep for a long time.&nbsp; At some point, I will purchase a new Burberry belt to replace the broken one, but the price point chafes a bit.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I admire that you can approach the learning experience with positivity and gratitude for clarity you have gained.&nbsp; Two thumbs up for the idea of adding the stunning Yorkie brooch and gold boots combo.&nbsp; To my eye, all of the outfits in this outfit lab are terrific, but I enjoy head to toe dark neutrals.&nbsp; I would love to see more photos of the coat paired with citron, the brooch, and the gold boots!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-burberry/page/2#post-2405060 Fri, 30 Jan 2026 23:15:36 +0000 LJP 2405060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do agree that the cream bottoms don't have the same effect as the dark ones ....but I still do like them here. &nbsp;To me, leg lengthening isn't an issue with your body type ;).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-burberry/page/2#post-2405055 Fri, 30 Jan 2026 22:37:48 +0000 Angie 2405055@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jenni,</b>&nbsp;thanks for the encouragement!

I can see you wear these outfits! Maybe with your silver or black patent boots You and <b>Brooklyn</b> are on the same brown page. Yes, I have many pairs of toffee pants. Less contrasting than the bright cream, yet still not my favourite. Although, it might grow on me!<div><br /></div><div><b>JAileen</b>, I know, right? These are not my typical looks! I’ll do a version with a citron bag and citron top so that you recognize me </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Bonnie</b> and <b>Carol</b>, it’s rather fabulous that you like the look I like the least, the BEST.

It couldn't own a more<i> magical-for-me</i> brooch.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>JoyceB</b>, such a sweet thing to say, thank you!

I like that terminology! It’s also a lighterweight coat I can easily keep one inside, so there you go. Appreciate the kind compliments :)<div><br /></div><div><b>Janet</b>, I’ remember you not enjoying this length of outerwear either. I must be more mindful of that in future. I can see you rock my navy pinstriped pants!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>LJP,</b> thanks for the kind words! Not to worry about skimming ahead to the pics - I do that too, and it’s natural Maybe you’d prefer my navy pinstripe trousers in black, and please live!</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Robin F,</b> thank you! I like wide legs and flares with tailored boots too. Kind of grounding, IYKWIM.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>cat2</b>, YES! &nbsp;I have the BEST vintage Yorkie brooch from 1961! See Find. I’ll pop it onto the coat and add my gold boots!

I don't have a Burberry peacoat but I do have a navy jacket and I'm inspired to try to copy your look because I have those curve jeans.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-burberry/page/2#post-2405021 Fri, 30 Jan 2026 19:03:27 +0000 LJP 2405021@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I apologize for skimming and not reading through the entire post before commenting .

Puts it more in that vintage/bomber/pea coat/ready-for-take-off mode....also, who doesn't like white and navy?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-burberry/page/2#post-2405018 Fri, 30 Jan 2026 18:51:22 +0000 JAileen 2405018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, that is a pretty great coat, and I can see why you have kept it. &nbsp;The nice thing is you learned why you didn’t want to wear it and can avoid that mistake in the future. &nbsp;The outfits all look very nice, but not very much like Angie - where is the orange? the red? the pink? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-burberry/page/2#post-2405016 Fri, 30 Jan 2026 18:34:20 +0000 Suz 2405016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I LOVE it and love the outfit combos you showed that you like best. Thanks for showing us difference between high and low contrast. I agree, it's better with a darker bottom! But it is fab.&nbsp;</p> <p>And oh -- if you wore your darker tan/whisky trousers (you have some, I think? or maybe jeans...) you could be matchy-matchy with your Burberry scarf!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-burberry#post-2405014 Fri, 30 Jan 2026 18:18:54 +0000 April 2405014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, that lining! Glad to see the Burberry out and about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-burberry#post-2405013 Fri, 30 Jan 2026 18:11:01 +0000 Lisa 2405013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful navy coat. What a clever hack to pair it with darker bottoms to get the same vibe visually as if the coat was longer. I'm taking notes because this works perfectly! I adore the darker coat and bottoms paired with lighter jumpers and boots. A column of dark is a nice change up once in a while to keep outfits interesting. So glad you're able to find a way to make the Burberry work for you, it's a lovely coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-burberry#post-2405008 Fri, 30 Jan 2026 16:37:17 +0000 Windchime 2405008@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I enjoyed this demo of outfit creation with something that’s not getting much wear. The contrast of the rich navy with the little pops of white and bright is really eye catching in the best way. I’m glad you found some ways to wear that gorgeous peacoat when the mood strikes.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-burberry#post-2404997 Fri, 30 Jan 2026 15:29:35 +0000 Angie 2404997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>The Cat</b>, thank you for your awfully kind words, and fab outfit observations. Much appreciated, and good to know! I see what you're seeing, and it's a lovely alternative perspective. The look might grow on me :)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Brooklyn,</b> thank you! I do love a light and bright palette Yes, I have many pairs of toffee pants and lighter blue jeans. A pair of dark brown suit pants too. Less contrasting than the bright cream, yet still not my favourite. Although, it might grow on me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-burberry#post-2404995 Fri, 30 Jan 2026 15:18:54 +0000 Angie 2404995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Sharan</b>, thanks for taking an interest!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Star,</b>&nbsp;thanks! Makes sense you like the slim silhouette the best - that's your thing! Yeah, you need to like the colour you're creating the column with - and fab you enjoyed the outfit lab.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Cookie</b>, thank you! <u>To answer your question: </u>I like double breasted toppers buttoned up too. I do that when it's colder. That said, about 15 years ago I developed a likeness for DB's OPEN, and now I visually prefer it. I like the lines, boxy width, and maximal placement of the buttons. So do that, weather-permitting. I'll leave Winter skirt wearing you ;)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-burberry#post-2404993 Fri, 30 Jan 2026 14:57:55 +0000 Angie 2404993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>I don't think I have a favourite dark bottom of the three shown here. I love them equally with this topper. &nbsp;</p> <p>Kyle,</b> glad this was a helpful exercise, and appreciate the hair love :)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Sal</b>, thank you! Creating a column of colour is a handy technique. You do have to like the colour you are column-ing with though ;)&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Irina</b>, with this particular topper, I do! With cropped pants themselves - I don't need to create a longer leg line. I have my limits, I guess - and thanks for the hair love.</p> <p>Thank you,<b> Slim Cat</b>!

I think I favor relaxed but structured bottoms with the peacoat. I think the cream barrels and the shape of the bottoms in the last outfit seem to taper the slight flare of the coat, although maybe the vibe is more casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-burberry#post-2404983 Fri, 30 Jan 2026 14:13:24 +0000 cat2 2404983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>IIRC, you have a fun brooch? Is it big enough to stand out on your coat? That might add some additional character. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-burberry#post-2404980 Fri, 30 Jan 2026 14:07:51 +0000 RobinF 2404980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful coat. I see what you mean, the dark bottom looks are definitely better than the light, even though I like those too. Love the wide flares with the more fitted boot, so sleek looking.&nbsp;</p>
