Since you don't need them, I think you need to style them each and see which one makes you happy. I am guessing the red. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-very-different-coats#post-2051289 Wed, 07 Aug 2019 17:31:43 +0000 JAileen 2051289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do really like the red coat. I laid the grey one on a chair overnight as Tammyb suggested, and it didn’t really look worse.</p> <p>Angie, I’m so glad you saw the red coat. I had already ordered it when you mentioned the swamping issue, and only got to try it on yesterday.</p> <p>As for “needing” these coats, no, I don’t need them. I have as many coats as the Eskimos have words for snow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-very-different-coats#post-2051285 Wed, 07 Aug 2019 17:23:43 +0000 Jane 2051285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the red especially. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-very-different-coats#post-2051274 Wed, 07 Aug 2019 16:56:38 +0000 kkards 2051274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>what Tammyb said....<br />Red coat for the win! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-very-different-coats#post-2051265 Wed, 07 Aug 2019 16:10:33 +0000 Angie 2051265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The red coat looks great and does not swamp you! You are the first I have seen to wear it well. Fabulous!</p> <p>The grey coats looks as fab, but as you said - in a very different way. Safe and subtle. </p> <p>Review your coat capsule and take it from there. Make sure you like the red coat in styled outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-very-different-coats#post-2051263 Wed, 07 Aug 2019 16:04:24 +0000 Anonymous 2051263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto Jenni!

If you love it, keep it. I could see this playful style working well in your wardrobe.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-very-different-coats#post-2051224 Wed, 07 Aug 2019 12:19:06 +0000 bj1111 2051224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Red red red</p> <p>That is all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-very-different-coats#post-2051216 Wed, 07 Aug 2019 11:55:00 +0000 Janet 2051216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto to the remarks about styling making a difference to the hubs perception. My husband can not assess a potential occasion dress unless I have the correct shoes on. Gotta admit, the shorts throw me off too! I think the red is fantastic on you. The wrinkling might put me off of the grey too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-very-different-coats#post-2051214 Wed, 07 Aug 2019 11:42:03 +0000 smittie 2051214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the teddy jacket. The grey one seems a little thin and wrinkly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-very-different-coats#post-2051202 Wed, 07 Aug 2019 10:30:58 +0000 Staysfit 2051202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe your DH is like my DH who cannot imagine what something would look like when I try it on over the “wrong” pieces. I would go back and style the coat properly and then let DH reassess. I have learned that when I want an opinion from my DH, I need to wear the item exactly as I might use it including accessories. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-very-different-coats#post-2051201 Wed, 07 Aug 2019 10:30:18 +0000 Tammyb 2051201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both on you. Red is fantastic for you! The wrinkles would be an issue for me if they don’t “hang out” quickly. Only because I know that my costs don’t always get hung up. They get tossed over chairs, in the backseat, etc. I want something that is going to look like it’s hung up and well cared for. Basically, I want my coat to lie for me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-very-different-coats#post-2051189 Wed, 07 Aug 2019 09:31:16 +0000 Style Fan 2051189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the red teddy coat.&nbsp; How much fun would that be? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-very-different-coats#post-2051184 Wed, 07 Aug 2019 08:59:13 +0000 rachylou 2051184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The red coat is sooo stylish on you! It’s a great red for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-very-different-coats#post-2051165 Wed, 07 Aug 2019 04:13:47 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2051165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>The red coat is super fun and cute on you. Looks like a great fit. I vote keep!</div><div>The gray one looks like a nice fit, too. It is more classic, not a statement. The wrinkles may hang out of it (or could be pressed out) and not be a problem after that. It probably wasn't steamed after shipping from the manufacturer and before they sent it out to you. <br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-very-different-coats#post-2051158 Wed, 07 Aug 2019 03:14:48 +0000 Joyce B 2051158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the red coat on you. Joy’s suggestion of waiting one month is a very good idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-very-different-coats#post-2051156 Wed, 07 Aug 2019 03:05:23 +0000 Anonymous 2051156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you keep both, at least for a month or so when it gets cooler? I like the white one best but love the red on you too and suspect you will reach for it all winter </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-very-different-coats#post-2051143 Wed, 07 Aug 2019 02:18:05 +0000 notsaf 2051143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Team teddy! I think it looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-very-different-coats#post-2051138 Wed, 07 Aug 2019 01:51:28 +0000 julesegr 2051138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you wear the red coat well! I don't think it is swamping you at all and it's super fun.&nbsp;</p> <p>The wrinkles in the gray coat do bother me, but the shape is nice. I'd try leaving it as you would (hanging it up? over a chair back?) and see if it's going to be a continued problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-very-different-coats#post-2051137 Wed, 07 Aug 2019 01:51:25 +0000 JAileen 2051137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Styling would definitely have helped my husband visualize the red coat better. It’s just too hot - 95F today. I’m glad you think the red one fits okay. It feels great.</p> <p>The grey wrinkles are problematic. Ooh, it sounds like I just described me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-very-different-coats#post-2051136 Wed, 07 Aug 2019 01:46:34 +0000 Preppy Pear 2051136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, wow, do you ever look fantastic in red! If this isn’t the one, I hope you have or will seek out another red coat. </p> <p>I like the grey coat, too. The wrinkles would bother me if they don’t fall out quickly. I have a fairly high tolerance for wrinkles, but not in coats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-very-different-coats#post-2051132 Wed, 07 Aug 2019 01:39:59 +0000 Suz 2051132@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the red one, Janet. It would "play" better styled. Makes a huge difference to how you (or husband) experience it, I'm sure.&nbsp;</p> <p>The grey one is okay...I'm not as crazy about it, maybe for the reason you mentioned (easy wrinkling). But I do like it and if you do, that's the main thing! You are probably experiencing it differently as we often do when we get close up to something.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-very-different-coats#post-2051128 Wed, 07 Aug 2019 01:31:19 +0000 Jenni NZ 2051128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the red coat is gorgeous. Undone it swamps you a little, done up it doesn’t IMO. The grey is nice too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-very-different-coats#post-2051126 Wed, 07 Aug 2019 01:24:52 +0000 Anonymous 2051126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well , your husband might be confused by your shorts with the coat . If not , just ignore him . I think the coat is super fun and great and not overwhelming . I want it ! </p> <p>I also like the grey coat on you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-very-different-coats#post-2051116 Wed, 07 Aug 2019 00:58:23 +0000 JAileen 2051116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>1-6: Teddy Bear Coat in red. Angie said it swamped everyone. I don’t think it’s swamping me, though. Or maybe I’m wrong. Is it just unflattering? I like it, but my husband doesn’t. </p> <p>7-9: Lightweight Hooded Duffle Coat in grey. The fabric feels nice and it’s grey. I laid it down for a little while and it managed to get wrinkled. A bad omen? I like it and my husband does too.</p> <p><a href="https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/kenneth-cole-new-york-hooded-wool-blend-duffle-coat/5265671" rel="nofollow">https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/k.....at/5265671</a></p> <p>What do you think? </p>
