I think having that coat in the blue color would be stunning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-shopping#post-1584626 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 18:39:47 +0000 Astrid 1584626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, I think the taupe coat in blue would be awesome! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-shopping#post-1584625 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 18:36:25 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1584625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the fit of the taupe one on you! I would say if you had any reservations about the taupe (which it sounds like you did), then the blue is a better pick. You're going to want to wear the coat a lot, and any lingering questions in the back of your mind re: color could be deterrents to wearing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-shopping#post-1584613 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 17:46:33 +0000 Eliza 1584613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b></b>I was drawn to the first coat also. Beautiful color and classic lines make it a great backdrop for accessories that will keep it current. That blue would be great on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>Angie- like your link. &nbsp;Do you know if the coat passes the soft hand, non-itchy test? &nbsp;I am sometimes surprised at how coarse wool coats are. Thanks!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-shopping#post-1584605 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 17:17:58 +0000 CocoLion 1584605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is why I need a bigger phone. On my 3 year old iPhone 5, picture 4 looks great. While the taupe coat looks blah. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-shopping#post-1584601 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 16:46:51 +0000 texstyle 1584601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the blue coat and think it would look fantastic on you!&nbsp; Taupe is tricky I think - for a coat, I'd say the blue would be the most versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-shopping#post-1584474 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 06:39:05 +0000 Jeanie 1584474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote for the blue coat. &nbsp;I love the checks but the are visually widening. &nbsp;The taupe is OK but I think it would need to be darker like a donkey color to look best. &nbsp;Happy coat shopping!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-shopping#post-1584468 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 05:48:57 +0000 Glory 1584468@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is gorgeous on you and like the neutral colour. However, I love classic neutral colours.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-shopping#post-1584358 Tue, 17 Nov 2015 00:07:28 +0000 unfrumped 1584358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I tried on that coat too and it was too much pattern.<br />I had liked a similar AT coat last&nbsp; year but still decided against the novelty. But I think that just the right novelty coat would be fun.<br />I got my LOFT burgundy and navy animal print coat for that reason. The more subdued color scheme didn't overwhelm&nbsp;me the way the bold plaid or stripes do, but it's still a "fun" coat rather than a classic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-shopping#post-1584277 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 16:51:20 +0000 Carole 1584277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, shedev! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-shopping#post-1584276 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 16:50:50 +0000 Carole 1584276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much, Angie! The coat looks very similar....I think Unfrumped posted this same coat on her thread. Seems like a great classic wool coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-shopping#post-1584274 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 16:47:11 +0000 Angie 1584274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the first style, Carole. (The solid coat).&nbsp;</p> <p>This one is good too. I saw it on a client with a similar body type to you, and it looked gorgeous.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-shopping#post-1584271 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 16:41:59 +0000 shedev 1584271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the blue one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-shopping#post-1584265 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 16:26:59 +0000 Carole 1584265@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Maneera! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-shopping#post-1584263 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 16:25:14 +0000 Maneera 1584263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the blue coat.

That's why you don't like the plaid one. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-shopping#post-1584257 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 16:18:39 +0000 JAileen 1584257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pictures show what we can't see, but did you take a picture of yourself in it? The other thing is, stuff is at TJMaxx because it didn't sell. Why not? Did it made everyone look huge?</p> <p>ETA: never mind! Your grimace isn't helping! It's not bad, but it's not great, either. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-shopping#post-1584253 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 16:10:23 +0000 Carole 1584253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>JAileen- I know...I keep thinking the plaid jacket looks so much better than it looks in the pictures...I want to like it...the colors and plaid is so fun...but pictures don't lie, or do they? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-shopping#post-1584250 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 16:08:13 +0000 Carole 1584250@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, exactly what I was thinking, UF. The blue seems like it would work well with all of my scarves, cognac and black boots. The taupe is pretty just not what I would pick normally for a neutral. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-shopping#post-1584247 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 16:06:28 +0000 JAileen 1584247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's too bad about about the plaid jacket. That's the one my eye was immediately drawn to. But who wants to look huge? I like the blue one. The taupe one I like less, but it might be the lighting in the picture. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-shopping#post-1584244 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 16:00:45 +0000 unfrumped 1584244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The taupe is a lovely neutral but is it "cooler" than your palette?<br />Which is strange to ask because the blue is cool, too but it looks like a great color that would look good on you and then, being a scarf wannabe person, I can see all kinds of fab accessory accents with the blue. If the blue goes with your wardrobe I'd try it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wool-coat-shopping#post-1584242 Mon, 16 Nov 2015 15:55:47 +0000 Carole 1584242@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been on the hunt for a coat to add to my Christmas list for DH...I think I found the right one and just wondered what you fabbers think of these colors...<br /> I'm thinking the sapphire color would be versatile and flattering (first photo).. I'm trying on the taupe color (2) in the store...this fits nicely not too tight in the shoulders which can be an issue for me and I like the length. What are your thoughts on this color? I'm thinking it looks a little washed out but now that I see the photo it looks better than I thought. The third photo is of a jacket I found at TJMaxx that came home with me and then I found it at Macy's for twice the price but I'm returning it...it just makes me look huge:(.<br /> <a href="http://www1.macys.com/shop/product/anne-klein-wool-cashmere-walker-coat?ID=2189826&#038;CategoryID=269&#038;tdp=cm_app~zMCOM-NAVAPP~xcm_zone~zPDP_ZONE_A~xcm_choiceId~zcid6N0011-a7c03333-951b-44e8-85f6-e6b4d7cdbfe3%40H7%40customers%2Balso%2Bshopped%2457535%242189826~xcm_srcCatID~z57535~xcm_pos~zPos2" rel="nofollow">http://www1.macys.com/shop/pro....._pos~zPos2</a></p> <p>Honest feedback so helpful.
