I am faced with the reverse of a common dilemma. Often I am wondering if I would buy a jacket that only looks good open. That actually works ok for most blazers.
Now, I love this coat but it has ties and does not really translate to wearing open. However since it's outerwear, that may be okay.
The blush is neutral to cool- not super- cool end of spectrum but good- not peachy. It fits really well everywhere. The side tie concept is much better for my figure than front ties-- actually looks much LESS like s bathrobe, and gives s nice flat tummy look. A real draw is the narrow collar-- I'm learning that is a good proportion rather than larger collars-- and it can be worn flat or turned up.
The tie fastening can be done looser or tighter and the coat still looks right, so that's good for versatility. Of course I can leave it untied while driving and could untie if perishing from heat.
What has been your experience with this situation? More things I should consider? It looks very polished and I only wonder if I will feel TOO fashiony or " buttoned up".
It comes in other colors too if someone else may be interested!
