Initially, the capsule shaped quilting was putting me off for you (combined with lighter color it seemed to lack that bit of Janet edge), but worn with your other pieces, it works well and adds another option for changing up your winter wear. Concur that puffers are tough! Also like the non-puffer coat on you. Looks comfortable with nice lines and amenable to great wardrobe pairings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/via-spiga-seafoam-puffer/page/3#post-2157960 Sun, 06 Dec 2020 05:27:02 +0000 Suz 2157960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, I am super late to this and have not read all the comments but I really like it once you've styled it with your stuff -- as i knew I would. My only reservation is that zipper because on coats of that length it can be a deal-breaker for me. On the other hand, it's not that hard to change out a zipper! The colour is unique and I think it can be wonderful to have a light and/ or bright puffer -- I'm in the market for such a thing myself.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/via-spiga-seafoam-puffer/page/3#post-2157958 Sun, 06 Dec 2020 05:14:49 +0000 Jenni NZ 2157958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am late, but also really like it styled with the scarves. I thought in the first pics that the colour was too insipid for you but styled I have totally changed my mind. I prefer the metallic boots but like the black boots well enough also. A splash of lighter colour in your cold dark winter would be lovely and cheering. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/via-spiga-seafoam-puffer/page/2#post-2157663 Fri, 04 Dec 2020 18:09:20 +0000 Janet 2157663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This has been really helpful, everyone -- thanks! I will leave the ultimate decision until my alternate selection arrives, and hubs gets home from Texas to give his opinion. Every time I wear anything in the turquoise-aqua-seafoam color range, he compliments me, so we'll see if this color strikes his fancy. I really trust his eye to confirm my feelings on something I'm considering.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/via-spiga-seafoam-puffer/page/2#post-2157633 Fri, 04 Dec 2020 15:14:55 +0000 nemosmom 2157633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it WAY better styled! #1 and #7 are my faves - I think it is the high-contrast (#1 with the scarf and #7 with your hair) and I love how the black boots bookend your hair and top. Various dark columns would be magical. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/via-spiga-seafoam-puffer/page/2#post-2157631 Fri, 04 Dec 2020 14:31:46 +0000 Janet 2157631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all!</p> <p>Lyn, I don't own white jeans anymore, or grey for that matter -- my most recent pair of grey jeans got kind of worn out, and they were skinnies, which I'm not buying any more of. I have a pair of soft black moto jeans that are getting worn a LOT. And yes, you're on my wavelength with the suggestion of black jeans -- I have some black jeans and pants, which are exactly the kind of thing I'd like to have a colored puffer for -- so I'm not a giant black hole of black on black during this pandemic winter.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/via-spiga-seafoam-puffer/page/2#post-2157624 Fri, 04 Dec 2020 14:03:12 +0000 lyn67 2157624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aw, styling is everything! I confess, I didn't love it on you on the picties first posted, either. The post hiking outfit was too casual and blue for that. But love it here in your second bunch (including the black boots if&nbsp; puffer kept open and some&nbsp; more blacks peeking out from under to relate) but I see what Lisa says and think it is more about the lack of stronger edgier urban feel&nbsp; of a streamlined head to toe dark silhouette&nbsp; or a more contrasted monochromatic one&nbsp;we are used to see you in and love for you- than the exact color which I also love per se-but that much not with bigger amount of other blue hues. The scarves are tying great&nbsp; to the puffer could you try&nbsp; it&nbsp; with grey or white jeans&nbsp;&nbsp;to the metallic boots and&nbsp;----or&nbsp; black&nbsp; jeans (to the&nbsp; black booties)?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/via-spiga-seafoam-puffer/page/2#post-2157617 Fri, 04 Dec 2020 13:27:32 +0000 Bijou 2157617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is gorgeous and definitely works, a nice change from your darker coats. Only you can say whether it is 'The One". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/via-spiga-seafoam-puffer/page/2#post-2157556 Fri, 04 Dec 2020 03:08:02 +0000 Gigi 2157556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Now that it's styled, it looks totally amazing. The color is so refreshing in the sea of black and gray! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/via-spiga-seafoam-puffer/page/2#post-2157555 Fri, 04 Dec 2020 03:07:38 +0000 slim cat 2157555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The scarfs are fabulous - they are essential to the styling of a light colored puffer!<br />At the same time I'm just dying over your long black Lauren puffer! <br />Fab length and smart quilting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/via-spiga-seafoam-puffer/page/2#post-2157526 Fri, 04 Dec 2020 00:20:21 +0000 rachylou 2157526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Totally wow. Ya, the scarves change everything, add a little bit of that toughness back in. Total winner! Amazing what a little bit of different styling does. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/via-spiga-seafoam-puffer/page/2#post-2157518 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 23:30:40 +0000 Glory 2157518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like this on you. The colour looks good and I think it is very fun and uplifting in the doom of winter to have some colourful options. I am a huge fan of this length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/via-spiga-seafoam-puffer/page/2#post-2157515 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 22:59:52 +0000 Classically Casual 2157515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, the scarves are sensational with it! &nbsp;They make a huge difference in personalizing it to your style. I ordered the puffer as well, but per Nordstrom, it’s delayed in transit. I hope you keep it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/via-spiga-seafoam-puffer/page/2#post-2157501 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 21:23:12 +0000 Janet 2157501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And how did it take me until now to realize that it almost exactly matches our bedroom walls?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/via-spiga-seafoam-puffer/page/2#post-2157500 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 21:22:27 +0000 Janet 2157500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks again for all the feedback! Sorry I'm not responding to each individual comment right now, as I'm checking quickly in between some tasks, but I read and appreciate each one.&nbsp;</p> <p>I held off on expressing my feelings about it so as not to color your impressions, but I do like it MUCH better styled. Styling it, even as loosely as this, shows me that it's one of those things to throw over one of my usual casual day outfits, which typically consists of dark neutral jeans and tee or sweater. Those are most likely worn with black or metallic boots, and my black floppy beret/beanie will likely factor into those outfits too. The snake print guitar strap with a black bag would tie things together also. The Minkoff backpack that I'm wearing out would be fine with it as well.&nbsp;</p> <p>Yesterday I was feeling like the color might be too *pastel* for me as well, until today I looked at it with the McQueen scarf -- that scarf ties together the color with black and the dark skull motif, taking some of the sweetness out of the color.&nbsp;</p> <p>Just to cover all the bases, I had a look around at various online retailers because I don't want to jump on the first appealing puffer I find. However, it's apparently not easy to find a non-gearish, lightweight, mid-length puffer in a somewhat fashionable/flattering style and a pretty-for-me color. I did place an order for the Sam Edelman coat Angie linked to as well, out of curiosity, since I have wondered how a silver/pewter puffer would work for me. I think if it's not TOO shiny and I don't feel like a spaceman, it could be nice. So I'll hang onto this while I check out a couple more options.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/via-spiga-seafoam-puffer/page/2#post-2157485 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 20:31:43 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2157485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wish the color were just a tad darker for you, as it reads kind of pastel to me. But it does look great with your eyes, and I love how it looks with your street clothes. The quilting pattern on it is unusual and looks chic. Nice length and fit. The lack of a two-way zipper would bug me a lot. For myself, I would probably hold out for a coat that was an even better color and with a two-way zipper, even if it meant waiting a year, because once I buy something like this, I tend to keep it for years and it would prevent me from buying the perfect puffer if one appeared later. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/via-spiga-seafoam-puffer/page/2#post-2157482 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 20:22:17 +0000 MsMary 2157482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a big thumbs up! Love it with the scarves!! And the black books don't bother me at all because I think they bookend your dark hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/via-spiga-seafoam-puffer/page/2#post-2157480 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 20:21:11 +0000 Laurie 2157480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If this coat is not for you, then whom?! Amazing how styling it with the right things makes all the difference. Agree w/Angie, if the fit/zipper things are not issues, it sure looks fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/via-spiga-seafoam-puffer/page/2#post-2157474 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 19:57:48 +0000 Synne 2157474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look stunning in that colour. It is one of YOUR colours for sure. How often do you come across outerwear in a colour like that? I vote keep. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/via-spiga-seafoam-puffer/page/2#post-2157472 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 19:54:12 +0000 Anonymous 2157472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great with the McQueen scarf in #1 and with the metallic boots. I don't 'get" it with black boots - they don't seem to tie in anywhere. &nbsp;I'm still very ambivalent and think you could do a lot better with something funkier (with contrasting trim /zippers ) as previously mentioned. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/via-spiga-seafoam-puffer/page/2#post-2157465 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 19:39:14 +0000 Angie 2157465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW :)</p> <p>I knew you'd make it look like a <b>Janet-Puffer</b>&nbsp;after you styled it!</p> <p>I LOVE IT.<i> The boots seal the deal</i>. &nbsp;#1 and #2 are KILLER. I like it best with the same scarves you do.</p> <p>I'm going to be in the minority. I like it more than your black puffer in #11, which is KILLER too! The seafoam is magical with your hair and eyes. Very unique.&nbsp;</p> <p>All that said...&nbsp;&nbsp;<i><u></u></i><u>YOU</u> <u></u><i><u></u></i>have to love it. And be okay with no double zipper.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/via-spiga-seafoam-puffer/page/2#post-2157463 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 19:36:27 +0000 Sal 2157463@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it Janet. It is not as edgy as the black Lauren. I find the colour soothing and having built in a few light neutrals into my winter wardrobe I have enjoyed them both for the contrast with dark items and a change up.</p> <p>But listen to yourself - you have great taste and if this is not speaking to you then move on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/via-spiga-seafoam-puffer/page/2#post-2157462 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 19:33:14 +0000 kellygirl 2157462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, I love it with the scarves. It's totally different than your other long coats--softer and looks more trendy. That color is so pretty with your hair color too. Do you love it?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/via-spiga-seafoam-puffer/page/2#post-2157460 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 19:23:24 +0000 Janet 2157460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK! No makeup or attention to hair (post-hike), but I pulled on the coat over a super basic black top and jeans ensemble. I tried a combination with bootcuts and metallic boots, and another with straight cuffed jeans and black boots. I also tried on various scarves with it, as they are a winter staple for me. I like it best with the two McQueen scarves.</p> <p>For comparison, I included two photos at the end that show my most comparable coats: the long black Lauren puffer and the grey mid-length Nautica jacket. </p> <p>I welcome your impressions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/via-spiga-seafoam-puffer/page/2#post-2157429 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 15:28:15 +0000 Janet 2157429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Quick thoughts from this morning...</p> <p>I’m already dressed in hiking gear to meet up with friends for a socially distanced hike in a half hour, so no try on pics. However, it occurred to me to put on my beloved long black puffer, and another mid-length casual coat I have that I really love. It’s from Nautica from god knows how many years ago — I think it was a Nordstrom Rack purchase? It’s a great cut and length on me but it’s dark grey. I’ve no intention of letting either of those coats go at this point, but the idea of augmenting the collection with a more cheerful color really appeals to me. </p> <p>Anyway, I pulled out those coats to take a look at what makes them work so well for me. Quilting pattern and a slightly fitted silhouette are factors, to be sure, but I had a doh! moment realizing that I prefer *not so puffy* coats and jackets. Or if they are puffy there must be other structure (I have a short white puffy from Zara that I love for the cute factor but it goes only over certain outfits). </p> <p>I’ll put them all on later and take pics to illustrate what I’m talking about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/via-spiga-seafoam-puffer/page/2#post-2157426 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 15:18:39 +0000 cat2 2157426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would keep looking until you find something you know looks great. I think the waisted cut and angled quilting are the details to look for but this isn’t quite right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/via-spiga-seafoam-puffer/page/2#post-2157418 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 13:32:59 +0000 Inge 2157418@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love the colour on you, fit and style look good too, and I've no doubt you can style it to make it "100% you", but of course, you have to be sure that <i>you</i> love it 100% :-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/via-spiga-seafoam-puffer/page/2#post-2157410 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 13:04:56 +0000 RobinF 2157410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally I find double zippers kind of a pain (they seem to stick and get fiddly - maybe mine are just not good quality) so prefer not to have them unless absolutely necessary, like for a coat knee length or longer. My go-to down puffer is about the length of this one and is fine with a plain zipper.</p> <p>I like the color and the style of the coat although after reading the comments I do see what the others see about the color on you. But so much would depend on how you style it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/via-spiga-seafoam-puffer/page/2#post-2157405 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 12:34:49 +0000 Anonymous 2157405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh get the pretty green Bernardo one!<br /> I do like the color of this one but not sure about the shape of the puffs- almost like a bunch of hands the way they curve. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/via-spiga-seafoam-puffer/page/2#post-2157402 Thu, 03 Dec 2020 12:07:38 +0000 kkards 2157402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i have to admit that not having the double zipper on outerwear of that length is a deal breaker for me. Make sure you do a walk and sit test, remember that at some point, you will go back to driving and going out again, is the coat comfortable for moving around in?&nbsp; </p>
