I think you are all correct...none of these make my heart skip a beat so I think it's best to keep looking. I'm in no hurry!<br />Lyn, I hope you find a red Anthro coat so we can be twins!<br />Elle, that fuschia coat is gorgeous on you! I think I'm a little bigger than you but thanks for thinking of me! </p> <p>I think I'm between a 6 and an 8 in Burberry. The 6's that I tried were a bit snug so I'd probably have to go with an 8.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-on-burberry-trenches#post-980130 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 18:35:44 +0000 catgirl 980130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely love the purple on you.&nbsp; I find Burberry to run so small, I might try a size up.&nbsp; But agree with MaryK and Rae that this may not be the one.&nbsp; It's CLOSE, though! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-on-burberry-trenches#post-980118 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 18:23:33 +0000 elpgal 980118@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Burgundy one for sure.

I took this pic for you though last night. It is not my style but i thought of you. It is on sale at Topanga Nordstrom for $251 down from about $425 I think. The quality looks as good as Burberry. I dont know how water resistant it is. It is a sz 2 but you are trying on 4s &amp; 6s in Burberry, which is my sz too. It is Ted Baker London.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-on-burberry-trenches#post-980084 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 17:35:40 +0000 MsMary 980084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Rae -- I'm not sure any of these is really a 10 on you.&nbsp; Don't let the Girl Math Money burn a hole in your pocket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-on-burberry-trenches#post-980010 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 16:25:49 +0000 rachylou 980010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The burgundy is most you and fits pretty well. The BB doesn't fit at all, and IMO the others also don't fit right - things aren't curving where you curve.</p> <p>But I'm such a trench hater, I don't wear my own trench coat. The only time I like one is when traveling, and then I have to tell y'all - London Fog is the name of the game for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-on-burberry-trenches#post-979954 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 15:18:39 +0000 Anonymous 979954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that the quality of the cut and tailoring really stands out when you compare the light Burberry&nbsp;to the BB trench. It makes your figure look absolutely perfect!&nbsp;</p> <p>Am I right in&nbsp;assuming that this would be your most expensive trench coat by far? If so, I would go with the classic honey color. For some reason I like the color of the one in 9, 10 &amp; 11 better than the leather trimmed one in 6, 7 &amp; 8. Are they different shades IRL? You often have lively, colorful outfits underneath (to say nothing of Miss Scarlet) so I think the honey would provide a better backdrop, especially when worn open.&nbsp;</p> <p>I do love the wine colored plaid trench with your complexion. Love! And I agree that it's a better color on you, but I'm not sure it's the most practical for something that you will have for a Very Long Time. It's a very memorable pattern and color and you may tire of it, or even feel that it "dates" your trench to F/W 2013--since it's such a big wine/burgundy year.&nbsp;</p> <p>Rae has a great point though. It's not like you are "pressed" to buy a trench right now. You have some great ones and it's not like Burberry are going to stop making fab trench coats anytime soon. :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-on-burberry-trenches#post-979933 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 14:54:30 +0000 rae 979933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, I am not convinced that any of these are Ms. Right for you (sorry to be a downer). My vote would be to keep looking and to wear the current trenches in the mean time. I like the purple color the best, but it's not really making your outfit sing&nbsp;like your KS and Anthro&nbsp;trenches do (and for Burberry prices, it ought to, right?).</p> <p>The other issue is that I'm wondering if these are too small? The waist buttons look like they might be pulling a little, like maybe you can't button the ones above? Maybe it is just the light.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-on-burberry-trenches#post-979864 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 12:51:31 +0000 ManidipaM 979864@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely choose between the burgundy and the black... the burgundy looks the safer choice but will you get more of a kick out of the UWP I wonder...? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-on-burberry-trenches#post-979838 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 12:17:21 +0000 Suz 979838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The burgundy one is really lovely on you Natalie! But -- can you wear it with Miss Scarlet?? &nbsp;(Half-serious question only....I know you have other bags.)&nbsp;</p> <p>The difference in fit between the BB and the Burberry is amazing. Quite evident when you compare side by side. Which I guess is fair, considering the price difference.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-on-burberry-trenches#post-979817 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 10:11:26 +0000 lyn67 979817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vote for the burgundy one! That is beyond fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-on-burberry-trenches#post-979800 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 07:49:40 +0000 Lyn D. 979800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Done.<br />Sticking to my choice, especially since you already have a beige trench that is &nbsp;lovely with the black trim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-on-burberry-trenches#post-979793 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 07:41:43 +0000 goldenpig 979793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, click on the link to my prior thread. I have pics of my current trenches there...a black ruffled Kate Spade, a beige with black trim Kate Spade, and a red Anthro corset trench. The purple trench would be the most different from my other ones. I think I'd like something burgundy/purplish. They have burgundy sateen trenches as well, but he said the sateen trenches are not waterproof. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-on-burberry-trenches#post-979789 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 07:35:19 +0000 Lyn D. 979789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The purple is so unique and beautiful on you Natalie- I can't see past it!<br />But I don't know what colour your other trenches are, and if you already have something in a similar shade.<br />I also really like the black with contrasting sleeves, but understand if it is not your style.<br />I am not sure about the cream one in terms of bringing out the glow in your skin as the purple does.<br />Fun to see these gorgeous coats! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/trying-on-burberry-trenches#post-979784 Sun, 14 Jul 2013 07:22:46 +0000 goldenpig 979784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On my birthday, before we went to the Chanel store we dropped by Brooks Brothers to return the trench coat (tried it on in 18-19 in a size 4). Then we passed by Burberry and I decided to just go it and have a look. I tried on several coats--the two I liked best were the purple in 1-5 and the one with the leather buckle trim in 6-8 (shown with coat open and tied in the back). Also tried on a plain style in 9-11 and a fantasy UWP Matrix-style trench coat in 12-15 (it reminds me of Una/Rae and all those other tough UWPs, doesn't really fit as well with my style).That one is $5000, though, so not a real contender. Some inspiration photos in 15-17 (cool shimmery trench coat!).</p> <p>What do you think of these different styles? Since I was planning on spending $5000 for the purse, I could afford to get a Burberry if I really wanted to. I think these were all size 6, except #6-8 was maybe a size 4. I am not feeling pressured to buy...I can wait till Christmas if needed, or just stick with my <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/another-data-point-on-the-bb-trench--navy-6-any-takers" rel="nofollow">current Kate Spade and Anthro trench coats</a>. It's interesting also that you can see a quality difference in the pics between the fit of the Burberry and the Brooks Brothers one in 18-19. Anyways, feel free to chime in on whether you like any of these or not on me and any other fit issues. Hope this helps others who are contemplating!</p> <p>1-5. <a href="http://us.burberry.com/store/womenswear/coats/london/prod-38787711-long-check-cotton-trench-coat/" rel="nofollow">Long check Cotton trench coat</a>.<br />6-8.
