I'm not wild about this color but the coat is interesting and hangs well - maybe worth one wear to see how you feel in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vinyl-trench-coat#post-2003958 Tue, 19 Feb 2019 14:43:03 +0000 Anonymous 2003958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You haven't worn it in 15 years but kept all this time? I say wear it and see how you feel about it. If you decide you aren't happy with it-pass. But I agree that the color doesn't compare to your brights. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vinyl-trench-coat#post-2003919 Tue, 19 Feb 2019 11:01:37 +0000 Bijou 2003919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the yellow accents and your scarf ties in this outfit perfectly. Like others have said, the coat is not one of your wow pieces, but I can see the appeal and it is in great condition. I say wear and enjoy it from time to time - but if it stops you from wearing other more favourite pieces, then it is time to pass it on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vinyl-trench-coat#post-2003903 Tue, 19 Feb 2019 07:46:55 +0000 Jenni NZ 2003903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is fun and cool. I wear a 1986 jumper in my winter... I do agree with Lisap that it's not the best colour I've ever seen you in, but for fun that may not matter? You go girl! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vinyl-trench-coat#post-2003850 Tue, 19 Feb 2019 02:53:15 +0000 rachylou 2003850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s vinyl? Not at all what I was imagining. I like the colour actually... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vinyl-trench-coat#post-2003832 Tue, 19 Feb 2019 01:50:43 +0000 Jaime 2003832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I would wear it, with blue rather than yellow I think. I love the brooch on the wrist of the sweater and the only suggestion I have here is a more colorful bag that would pop against the coat.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vinyl-trench-coat#post-2003810 Mon, 18 Feb 2019 23:55:55 +0000 Anonymous 2003810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The colour isn't my favourite for you, Katrina. &nbsp;It's an interesting coat, but I think you can do better in terms of colour flattery. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vinyl-trench-coat#post-2003805 Mon, 18 Feb 2019 22:53:30 +0000 Katerina 2003805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April, it is shiny plastic - the texture and the surface, but it is quite soft, it falls quite well given it is plastic.<br /> So it behaves like fabric in that sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vinyl-trench-coat#post-2003803 Mon, 18 Feb 2019 22:47:39 +0000 April 2003803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When I saw your subject line, Katerina, I was picturing a vinyl more like patent leather.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Hard to tell in the photos, but in real life does your vinyl read like shiny plastic or more like fabric? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vinyl-trench-coat#post-2003798 Mon, 18 Feb 2019 22:09:05 +0000 Anonymous 2003798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! &nbsp;I would certainly wear this. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vinyl-trench-coat#post-2003785 Mon, 18 Feb 2019 20:48:10 +0000 ChristelJ 2003785@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm loving that collar. And the yellow. Also the shape of the coat. Your outfit is beautifully pulled together. I say there's a reason you kept this! Try it out and see how you feel! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vinyl-trench-coat#post-2003780 Mon, 18 Feb 2019 20:30:04 +0000 Katerina 2003780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Dear Fabbers,<br /> I have read that vinyl coats are trending, so I dug into my storage and pulled out this plastic coat I bought in the nineties. Honestly, I don’t know why I have not chucked it out during all the years, but it has not been worn for at least fifteen years, maybe longer. Somehow, I like it in its special ugliness :-). I am impressed that the plastic has not disintegrated :-)<br /> I put together this outfit to wear later this week after work, if it will not be too cold and if I will dare to... I like the tonal beiges combined with yellow. I attached a little butterfly brooch on the sleeve of the sweater, the exact same colour as the coat.<br /> I am curious what you think, is it still possible to wear this? Is it ridiculous?<br /> Thank you for looking. </p>
