Net a porter is blocked on my work browser.<br /> Ditto on what Suz said if it is! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-photo-ii#post-567297 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 16:55:29 +0000 Suz 567297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Interesting. It sounds as if you tend to wear cool based colours more often. But they can work well with some beiges or stones. And Sammi's right; it's SO classic. If your heart sings for this, you should go for it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-photo-ii#post-567294 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 16:51:24 +0000 gradfashionista 567294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, can't do photos at this instant, but I would wear this with colour near my face--I have burgundy glasses, teal and wine scarves, colourful tops (paisley, polka dot, pink, blue and purple t-shits,, although these would be hidden from view if the coat is closed). Black pants or blue jeans with brown or lilac/grey sneakers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-photo-ii#post-567293 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 16:50:44 +0000 Anonymous 567293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you wear the color well. I like beige trenches best because I appreciate their classic vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-photo-ii#post-567245 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 16:14:07 +0000 Suz 567245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a great style. </p> <p>Tough call, though, about the colour. I do think you wear it much more successfully than some people would! But it's not the easiest, is it? </p> <p>Can you show us pics with the coat styled a bit as you would wear it? I.e. whatever colour tops, or scarf, plus shoes? It will give the whole effect much more clearly. I think for a purchase as significant as this one, you really want to be sure it's the best for you. And Burberrys are available in lots of colours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-photo-ii#post-567242 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 16:10:42 +0000 modgrl 567242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks very nice, what can I say, the classic is a classic for a reason. it is truly fab. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-photo-ii#post-567237 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 16:08:54 +0000 gradfashionista 567237@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>here's another photo, but the light was shining into the living room so it looks a bit overexposed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-photo-ii#post-567105 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 14:37:20 +0000 celia 567105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it looks good but the angle of the photo is not helping.Can we have another,please(I know it is not easy) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-photo-ii#post-567097 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 14:32:26 +0000 Meredith1953 567097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The beige is nice but with your coloring either a colorful scarf or a brighter color would look even nicer. Great coat though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-photo-ii#post-567094 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 14:30:04 +0000 modgrl 567094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color is nice but it is hard to see the whole coat. It seems big on you. Did your store carry petite sizes (not sure if you need that?!). The sleeves seem long. That is not a deal breaker obviously because they can be tailored but how is the fit all around? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-photo-ii#post-567091 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 14:27:37 +0000 Jem 567091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That looks great on you! I can't comment on the color, because I'm also not a huge fan of beige, but think it looks pretty great on you, still! I like the dark buttons on it, too. I'm having a hard time remembering what the last one looked like. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-photo-ii#post-567084 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 14:17:24 +0000 shoppingisfun 567084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it, but honestly with your skin tone I'd go with a more colorful coat, OR a darker neutral like black, dark gray (do they make trenches in gray?) or navy. The color looks fine, just not that great, imho. I'm not a fan of beige in general though so I might be biased. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-photo-ii#post-566995 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 11:35:16 +0000 JennyAnne 566995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! Imagine it with a colorful turtleneck or a scarf, too. I think this khaki color Burberry trench is so classic that the color rules almost don't apply. Maybe not your most flattering color, true, but I think the color is fine and the trench is so fabulous it's worth it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-photo-ii#post-566972 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 10:12:40 +0000 fashionista 566972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful trench!!! I would wear it in winter with a black turtle neck. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-photo-ii#post-566969 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 10:07:51 +0000 rute 566969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So pretty! Love it! Beije is a classic! A must have, I would go for it and wear it with a colorful scarf! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trench-photo-ii#post-566947 Wed, 14 Mar 2012 07:48:16 +0000 gradfashionista 566947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In a previous discussion, a YLFer suggested this trench:</p> <p><a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/169229" rel="nofollow">http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/169229</a></p> <p>It's obviously a far cry from the original silk trench, but I thought it would be worthwhile to try it out. Well, pics are attached. I didn't think I could pull off beige (the pic I posted a few days ago was a yellowish beige, and I would order that coat in navy). </p> <p>Sizing: the military trench I tried on a few days ago in-store skimmed by body. This coat, even when sized down, is looser, but fits well in the shoulders, with ample room in the arms (I find sleeves are often too tight for my shoulder width).</p> <p>So, as far as beiges go, do I looked washed out in this coat? I'm not wearing any make-up/accessories.</p> <p>Thanks to whoever suggested this coat--I was pleasantly surprised. </p>
