I feel you need to look for A-line coats, as opposed to straight fits. A fit &amp; flare coat in the right length &amp; color would also look amazing on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-fit-lab#post-1767913 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 22:22:59 +0000 Gigi 1767913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for 2 and 3, with 4 as a runner-up. Style 4 seems a little too blingy for what appears to be your usual style. It would maybe be a nice wildcard if you felt like trying something different. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-fit-lab#post-1767747 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 14:06:40 +0000 Bijou 1767747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The coats with belts look great on you, as noted all the comments above but I did think this looking at your photos too. You would probably look amazing in a classic Burberry style trench because they are belted coats. If you went for more of a classic A-line style, I think it would work beautifully on you. I have a 3/4 trench coat and find it to be very versatile, it works well with both dresses, jeans and pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-fit-lab#post-1767703 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 10:43:29 +0000 Chris987 1767703@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Style Fan, that is very clear and helpful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-fit-lab#post-1767693 Wed, 11 Jan 2017 10:02:35 +0000 Style Fan 1767693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chris regarding coat #4&nbsp;I find the zippers distracting and blingy.&nbsp; This is just my opinion.&nbsp; When I read over the thread I can see that 2 and 3 get lots of love but 4 is split.&nbsp; The fit is good but you look uncomfortable in it.&nbsp; <br />I think 4 has a hard edge to it which I haven't seen you wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-fit-lab#post-1767572 Tue, 10 Jan 2017 23:47:50 +0000 Chris987 1767572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much for all the replies, I really appreciate all the input! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-fit-lab#post-1767314 Tue, 10 Jan 2017 13:44:22 +0000 cindysmith 1767314@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>2 &amp; 3 are my favorites. 4 is pretty good too.</p> <p>The belts add nice definition and show you have curves, and that collar in 2 really balances out the curve of your hip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-fit-lab#post-1767310 Tue, 10 Jan 2017 13:29:14 +0000 RobinF 1767310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with most here, love #2 (great style), #3 is the best fit and beautiful color and I also like #4.

This is a good style on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-fit-lab#post-1767066 Mon, 09 Jan 2017 21:56:14 +0000 Chris987 1767066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Angie. I think that&nbsp;blue color works so well because it's really close to my eye color although it's a little bit darker. I've gotten a bit tired of it overall but not for this coat. </p> <p>Tanks Meredith, Eliza and BrieN, and Le Pedestreinne. </p> <p>Kiwigal/Sally yes I agree that 5 is a little "swamping". This is one that I "kept too long" and don't love so time to move it on to a new home. </p> <p>This has been so instructive. The next wool coat on my wish list is one in a camel or toffee color. I tried on one some weeks ago that didn't' quite work, and I couldn't quite figure out why. It fit a lot like the grey one, and now I get what the issue was </p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-fit-lab#post-1767038 Mon, 09 Jan 2017 20:34:53 +0000 LaPed 1767038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Echoing everyone above: 2, 3, and 4 look wonderful. You really rock a belted coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-fit-lab#post-1767023 Mon, 09 Jan 2017 20:05:26 +0000 Sal 1767023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like coats 1-4 but agree with Angie to leave the last button undone. &nbsp;I find coat 5 a little too "swamping" on you. 6 is a not a great fit.</p> <p>My favourite is the blue - it is gorgeous on you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-fit-lab#post-1767016 Mon, 09 Jan 2017 19:54:17 +0000 BrieN 1767016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am interested in your perspective on coat #2, as I really like the broad collar on you. I also like that color on you as well. The blue in #3 is also lovely on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-fit-lab#post-1767015 Mon, 09 Jan 2017 19:51:45 +0000 Eliza 1767015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like number 3 and surprisingly, number 5 caught my eye before I read your post. If it were cut to a better shoulder fit, that silhouette is lovely on you, too. Coats are tricky for me (especially with belts) and you have done well to sort yourself out.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-fit-lab#post-1767010 Mon, 09 Jan 2017 19:43:51 +0000 Meredith 1767010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw this post earlier and wanted the experts to weigh in on fit, but I wanted to add that I just love 2,3, and 4! Nice coat capsule! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-fit-lab#post-1766994 Mon, 09 Jan 2017 19:16:42 +0000 Angie 1766994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pic #3 - the cobalt coat - has the best fit. <b>Killer Sublime </b>and that shade of blue is amazing on you, Chris.&nbsp;</p> <p>Pics #2 and #4 have great fits too. Killer.&nbsp;</p> <p>Pic #1 is a little snug on the bottom button - you can either move it over a little, or leave that button unbuttoned.&nbsp;</p> <p>Pic #5 is not too bad, although a little big on the shoulders.&nbsp;</p> <p>Pic #6 is ill-fitting.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-fit-lab#post-1766989 Mon, 09 Jan 2017 18:59:44 +0000 Chris987 1766989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Mirjana!</p> <p>Thanks Jaileen, and I think I see what you mean about the ones with belts being slimming, more so than the ones without. Yes&nbsp;I can certainly shorten the sleeves on #2, just have been too lazy to do it and I don't mind coat sleeves being a little long. It really would look better if they were shortened </p> <p>Thanks El Cee...and you are right about the colors. Saturated colors seem to look better than&nbsp;black and grey neutrals on me, at least in larger expanses of color like coats. </p> <p></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-fit-lab#post-1766985 Mon, 09 Jan 2017 18:42:54 +0000 El Cee 1766985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another enthusiastic vote for #2 and #3... most figure flattering and lovely rich colors to boot. If you are concerned about the sleeves on #2, I would just take them to the tailor for shortening.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-fit-lab#post-1766982 Mon, 09 Jan 2017 18:33:16 +0000 JAileen 1766982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 2 and 3 also. The fit seems good. The belts slim you. 1 does not. So even though I find belts annoying personally, I can see that they work for you. Can you shorten the sleeves in 2? I also like 5 but it's hard to tell on the fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-fit-lab#post-1766960 Mon, 09 Jan 2017 17:28:04 +0000 Mirjana 1766960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2 and #3, nice colors and fit you good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-fit-lab#post-1766943 Mon, 09 Jan 2017 16:03:35 +0000 Chris987 1766943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I recently posted a&nbsp;new grey coat I was considering, and&nbsp;got some great feedback on it’s not-so-great fit.&nbsp;I thought it would&nbsp;be good to review the fit of ALL my wool coats. I live in New England so I need&nbsp;coats. I am wearing them over a fairly heavy sweater but with no accessories. Would<br /> love your comments, especially on the FIT, and don’t worry about hurting my&nbsp;feelings. &nbsp;All of them are petite sizes except the last two. The petite sizes definitely&nbsp;fit much better with shorter waists, smaller lapels, shorter sleeves etc.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <ol> <li>Red LL Bean. This seems&nbsp;good, maybe a bit too boxy. I found it for $10 at a thrift store, had not&nbsp;been worn and could not resist. </li> <li>Darker Red Calvin Klein with&nbsp;wide collar. This collar sometimes seems a bit too big for my face and&nbsp;shoulders. Sleeves also just a little too long.</li> <li>&nbsp;Ann Klein Deep Blue.</li> <li>Black Michael Kors with&nbsp;gold zippers</li> <li>Forecaster Charcoal Grey. I&nbsp;can see now that this is just too big in the upper body, lapels, and length.&nbsp;I wore it a lot years ago when longer coats were more in style. It’s very old although in excellent<br /> condition and it’s time to let it go</li> <li>F21 Grey,&nbsp;shown without&nbsp;the fur collar. As Angie said &nbsp;reviously…”….<i>the&nbsp;fit is off. You can adjust the buttons, but that does not address the fit&nbsp;up top…..You need something less straight, and more curved in silhouette.” </i>(I'm going to return this) <i></i></li> </ol> <p>&nbsp;</p>
