Thanks for showing us. This particular trench actually has hidden buttons that pretty much serves a similar function. I meant to tie the belt in back so there is an upside down triangle but I forgot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trench-challenge#post-2028124 Sat, 18 May 2019 02:04:31 +0000 Bijou 2028124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a beautiful and classic trench, so glad that we got to see it. </p> <p>@Staysfit,, thank you for the loose belt suggestion, so simple yet effective. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trench-challenge#post-2028102 Sat, 18 May 2019 00:36:29 +0000 Staysfit 2028102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is lovely for you and I can see why you would not want to update or replace it! In the past I have let belt ends on cardigans hang loose down the side as you have pictured with your trench but I learned a simple and helpful way to manage the loose belt. If you like, you can loop each long loose end behind the belt loop and up under the belt and then double it down through the loop formed. It looks pretty much the same as you have here, but serves to secure the belt from sliding out or around. I took a photo below (without tightening) so you can see if interested. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trench-challenge#post-2028084 Fri, 17 May 2019 23:09:14 +0000 Bonnie 2028084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glad you got a chance to show us your trench.

Agree with Angie, great colors on you.</p> <p>I got some Frye lavender ankle boots right before it turned 80s/90s here.</p> <p>Your boots are making me anxious to use mine, lol. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trench-challenge#post-2027803 Fri, 17 May 2019 02:30:19 +0000 Alicewonderland 2027803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies!</p> <p>Angie- Sometimes I tie the tie but only if it’s raining hard or I’m wearing something more ladylike. I should try tying it more. This only gets worn a couple times a year so I haven’t really played around with it much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trench-challenge#post-2027801 Fri, 17 May 2019 02:23:00 +0000 Jules 2027801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous and really demonstrates the longevity of a well-made classic item. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trench-challenge#post-2027800 Fri, 17 May 2019 02:22:42 +0000 Barbara Diane 2027800@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Why replace something that works so well :). But I do know the new thing bug. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trench-challenge#post-2027793 Fri, 17 May 2019 01:32:28 +0000 Angie 2027793@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice. Do you ever tie the tie?</p> <p>Tan and black are fab with your complexion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trench-challenge#post-2027784 Fri, 17 May 2019 00:09:24 +0000 Mainelady 2027784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am sorry your weather has taken a dismal turn, but very glad you can participate in the challenge. Your trench is elegant and does fit you so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trench-challenge#post-2027782 Fri, 17 May 2019 00:03:00 +0000 Jaime 2027782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this - elegant and unfussy. The shoes do look good, despite the work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-trench-challenge#post-2027767 Thu, 16 May 2019 22:15:44 +0000 Alicewonderland 2027767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Never in a million years did I think I would get to participate in the trench challenge because it had been so warm and dry here, but here I am. Last night it started pouring buckets and the old winter cozy clothes came out again. I pulled on a favorite cashmere sweater and have placed cashmere joggers on my shopping list. Seemed liked a good idea-why not cozy sweaters for the legs? I also wore black skinnies, black ankle boots. The ankle boots are Frye Diana and they are cute but OMG they are so hard to get on and off. People said that in the reviews but I didn’t listen. </p> <p>The trench is a vintage London fog. It is really quite utilitarian but things I really appreciate about it are- it fits me—It’s petite sizing so sleeves aren’t too long. It is long, so it actually keeps me dry.. The fabric is nice and I really like the drape. It has a lot of thoughtful details, buttons, vents, that make it so that even though I see other shiny new jaunty trenches, they cannot replace this one. I like to wear it open in front and cinched in the back. It does have a strong “presence” though and I have not tried to style it when it’s not raining.</p> <p>ETA: added a photo of it tied in number 5. Granted the shoes are very flat, but I feel very short. I like it otherwise, but probably will break out the heels for this. </p>
