They were very very unflattering. Part of it was me, being overweight, but other part was the fabric was so stiff and bulky. Then I ordered a coat from Eddie Bauer. The design was sleeker, but the fabric made a lot crinkling noises. Later I bought a 3 in 1 coat from Patagonia. It's not trench style, but it was flattering even on me. It's genuinely waterproof. It has a zip out nano puff style coat. The only drawback was it wasn't particularly warm by itself. We were in temps hovering around freezing, damp, snowing/raining, and to stay warm I really had to layer up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-for-travel#post-1794614 Tue, 04 Apr 2017 13:39:22 +0000 JuniperGreen 1794614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Style Fan - it's exactly as you mentioned, I was hoping a trench would help me dress up my day time looks for Paris! &nbsp;Alas, I had no luck in my mall wanderings this weekend, the London Fog options I found were not flattering, nor the J Crew or BR ones. &nbsp;The hunt goes on... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-for-travel#post-1793520 Fri, 31 Mar 2017 22:22:48 +0000 Style Fan 1793520@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love trench coats.&nbsp; The athleta one is cute as a raincoat.&nbsp; Are you wanting the coat as a raincoat or for something warm?&nbsp; I have travelled a lot with my trench coat and it is something that works in lots of places.&nbsp; Especially Paris!&nbsp; I can throw it over jeans and boots and I look dressed.&nbsp; <br />Mine is a Burberry but there are less expensive ones around.&nbsp;&nbsp;J.

When I'm going in and out of museums and stores a lot on a trip, I prefer something that is light that scrunches small without wrinkling. I have an earlier version of this rain jacket (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://athleta.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=1064721&amp;vid=1&amp;pid=591159012">http://athleta.gap.com/browse/.....=591159012</a>) from Athleta--it is styled casually on the website, but the fabric is actually dressy-looking. This is a dark color, so I'm not suggesting this one, but maybe something like this that is more stow-able than a traditional trench.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-for-travel#post-1793467 Fri, 31 Mar 2017 19:16:45 +0000 JuniperGreen 1793467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>rachylou</b> - I will keep an eye out for ones with removable liners! &nbsp;that's a great idea.</p> <p><b>penny</b> - i think the London Fog is my favorite in that round up! &nbsp;I also love the drapey french connection option (pink!!) but wonder if the open drape will give me enough structure, even with the belt.</p> <p><b>JAlleen</b> - this is a new brand to me, thank you for the tip! &nbsp;I looooove pockets&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-for-travel#post-1793213 Fri, 31 Mar 2017 01:08:09 +0000 JAileen 1793213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If the coat is just for travel, something from Scotte might be nice. I don't have their trench, but I have their vest and it was really handy to have so many pockets to store things securely when we were in Turkey a few years ago.</p> <p><a href="https://www.scottevest.com/v3_store/Womens-Trench.shtml" rel="nofollow">https://www.scottevest.com/v3_.....ench.shtml</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-for-travel#post-1793207 Fri, 31 Mar 2017 00:48:18 +0000 Penny 1793207@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Work Edit by Capitol Hill Style had some good light options for trench coats recently: <a href="http://www.caphillstyle.com/capitol/2017/03/23/spring-fashion-trenchcoats-for-everyone.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.caphillstyle.com/ca.....ryone.html</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-for-travel#post-1793200 Fri, 31 Mar 2017 00:28:02 +0000 rachylou 1793200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>London Fog is my favorite.
