Committing to the OTHER Boden Leopard Topper

I ordered the OTHER Boden leopard coat because I wanted to see it

BOTH TOPPERS ARE GORGEOUS, and exactly the same fabric and colour. Ignore the differences in the stock photos and my photos. Less than fab light.

My word. Impeccable quality. The workmanship is ridiculously good. The longer coat is a PERFECT fit. No need to adjust the buttons, which I would have had to do on the shorter style. My long arms got lucky with the sleeve length too. Plenty of room in the sleeves for layering, and a tailored shoulder fit on the shoulders. Broad shoulders will find the shoulder fit snug.

I let Greg and Sam choose, and they preferred the longer length, which IS more practical and insulated for my walking-and-not-in-a-car-all-day lifestyle, although I will miss the incredible buttons on the shorter style. A warm topper, but lightweight. A very good weight for my climate - especially when I'm bundled up. Funnel neck is excellent for my long neck. I'm a happy camper.

Popped it over what I'm wearing here, so NOT styled. My new feathered fringe looks bad in this light. Looks better in person, and I'm enjoying it. And what I'm wearing today. Autumn is HERE in Seattle.

The coat is gorgeous on you and is perfect for your needs, enjoy it. I love the light blue accents, too.

Ooooh!! GORGEOUS outfit, Angie. I love the longer version and agree it will get much more wear in this climate. It looks stunning with the light blue accessories. And every time I see you in that Boden blazer it makes me smile. Such perfect colours for you.

The new shoes look amazing with the white denim, too. The browns/ earth tones bookend with your specs.

I saw that Zara is showing a bunch of light blue with different toffees and browns in their new line. I can't link because it doesn't show the styling -- just the individual items -- but if you go to their pages you will see combos.

Thanks, sweet Joyce. The colour of the leopard straddles the line between cool and warm, so works on many of us. Especially with the right accents for your complexion.

Thanks, gracious Suz. Now that you live on the West Coast - you get my weather

I will look at Zara shortly. Like how the new Fall collections are hitting stores now. FUN.

That coat looks so warm and cozy! Looks more useful than the short one, though that was nice too
I like the evolution of cognac brown now too, the slightly redder version thats been popping up this year.

I like your pictures better actually. The coat looks warm on cozy on you. I love it with the light blue accessories.

Suntiger, YES to more useful, and woohooo to all shades of brown.

Sara, at least my pics show the TEXTURE of the leopard. Very cozy, but not plush. Light blue brightens things up, doesn't it. Better for my complexion.

Ohh, that does look good on you!

From the description, it sounds like it could be worn indoors and/or outdoors, so is a good choice for a chilly or drafty office. Is that right? The leopard is great for you; some of the other colors are nice too.

Actually never mind my question. Looking at the other colors seriously, none of them would be a good choice for me.

Lovely on you, especially brightened with the light blue. What a turn your wardrobe is taking after getting the new specs.

It looks stunning on you, and amazing with the light blue accessories. I couldn’t agree more that the longer length is more practical.

YES, Joy. My new specs changed the colour landscape of my wardrobe. Bonus.

FashIntern, thank you. Yes - you could wear the topper indoors if you wanted to. It's a marvelously versatile weight.

Tanya, thank you. Our colour palettes are colliding. FUN. Can't wait to see you in Seattle on Thursday. Much love to you. xo

Wow, you look gorgeous in this coat! I like the longer one even better and the scarf is beautiful with it. It makes the outfit pretty and soft. I love the classic cut of the longer coat.
And the new shoes - so sweet!
Your style is amazing and I admire how exactly it corresponds with the descriptors you use in your style goals. You are fabulous!

Love it with the light blue accents! The added length is both elegant and cozy.

Thanks, Katerina for noticing that. I WANT my outfits to look soft and pretty. Good to know it was accomplished here. And I'm blushing at your compliments.

Jane, you MUST get one of the two too. Magical with your complexion.

La Ped, shall I throw in some bootcuts too

Cozy!

I really like it on you, especially with your light blue bag. I think the longer coat would be more useful, too.

Your furniture makes it look like you have a halo!

Another high-five from me, on both the longer version of this coat, and the outfit you are wearing today! I have a very, very similar spotted faux hair coat in these cooler shades, and haven't worn it much since I bought it two years ago......and I think I now know why ! I need to brighten it up with pale blue .I know I commented before on how great this scarf and bag are with this coat, but I'll say it again.......!

Rachy, time to haul out puffy.

JAileen, absolutely more useful when you don't like to drive. Short toppers are good for time in the car though.

Lisa p, thanks. YES. The light blue effectively brightens up the brown. So will my tomato red, citron and cream. There you go! Your turn. Go Team Light Blue. (Maybe try the coat with your blue McQueen scarf?)

That coat looks gorgeous on you. I like the softness that the light blue brings to the outfit.

Wow, Wow how beautiful coat. I am absolutely for longer one. You look gorgeous with blue scarf and bag. Love, love so much.

Gorgeous coat. I agree with Greg and Sam. The longer coat is a better choice. Love it with the pale blue.

anchie

I have noticed and admired both of those coats, but was more attracted to the long one for myself because it seems more practical. And now when I see it on you I like it even more. Gorgeous with blue. Fall is not yet here, can’t wait to wear ‘our’ blazer when it finally cools down.

Gorgeous! Just perfect for your new brown/blue palette. And perfect for your climate too.

Love, love that coat on you. The neckline - all buttoned up looks fantastic, esp with the accompanying scarf. Beautiful color combo and I love how it goes with your specs too! Seems the longer version goes better with your environment and needs. I ordered the shorter version and am praying it works for me (fit wise). Shorter coats work better in my environment. The colorful blazer from last year looks smashing - still kicking myself for not getting it Love all the colors in it!

Anonymous

Well they’re both great. It seems like the longer one would layer over blazers better. The shorter one has a cute factor though

You really can’t go wrong with either of them.

This coat is gorgeous on you, Angie. Great pick.

I love the long one on you! Is it the same material as the short one? For me, it was too heavy to ever wear indoors...felt warmer than my light puffer!
