Fun colors? - YouLookFab Forum

Is it a fun color combination? Yes for me as I don’t wear a lot of colors but do have some pieces. This is what I wore today to the office. Cold but sunny outside, felt like wearing something bright. I haven’t worn this cotton coat in Covid years, first time this season. Obviously, this color (I call it pistachio) is not common for my wardrobe but I kind of like to wear it once in a while. I love darts on the sleeves and there are similar darts at the bottom on the back. They give slightly rounded, cocoon shape to the coat.

Looks like shoes don’t exactly work but this is what I have I carried a navy Longchamp bag with my laptop, also not a fashion statement

Coat - cotton from Massimo Dutti
Sweater - merino wool, navy from COS
Jeans - Levi’s
Sneakers - knitted, black from Cole Haan

Ooooh . I LOVE that coat. Love what little I can see of your hair , too - looks like a really nice length. I had , a million years ago, a pistachio (good name for it ) coat that I only wore a few times a year, and boy was it a special piece to own. It instantly perked up and elevated everything I wore with it.

KILLER coat. Clean, crisp, and in a fun colour! And the sneakers look fab with the outfit, Irina

Love the on trend jeans too. Looks like your foot injury has healed nicely. EXCELLENT!

rachylou

Beautiful beautiful coat!

Zaeobi

Ooh the coat reminds me of Angie's old cocoon shaped pussybow one - very chic

I'm not sure what to call this colour either, though I've been saying chartreuse for this shade I think that's meant to be more lime green than yellow?

This is so fab!! I love the coat shape and color on you! Unexpected and fun! You are such a stylish dresser!

slim cat

Love it! Great color/shape and wonderful styling! Soft pistachio looks amazing with your hair ( from what could be seen )!

Dee

Great coat in a fab bright colour, adds a nice zing to the outfit, and those darts on the sleeve are a nice style detail too.

Runcarla

Beautiful minimalist outfit. The coat has a wonderful architectural shape without being extreme. What a wonderful piece to have in your collection!

Jessikams

Delicious coat!

Bijou

That coat is definitely a fun colour and you wear it beautifully.

Jenni NZ

Yes it looks awesome on you Irina. Lovely colour and an architectural looking piece.

kkards

love this. And it picks up that 90s trend of column of black with a pop of color
Pop of color = FUN.

Wow! I'd call it greenish gold. Pistachio to me would be a pastel green, like pistachio ice cream (mmmmmm).

Xtabay, rachylou, Zaeobi, kellygirl, slimcat, Dee, RunCarla, Jessikams,Bijou, Jenni NZ, suntiger - thank you!

LJP, I only wear it a few times a year. And it bothers me that it seems underutilized.
Angie, thanks, I’m much better now and can wear all my shoes now
Haven’t tried boots, yet.

Kkards, thanks. I don’t wear this coat with black, don’t like to combine brights with black in an outfit. Since I only wear this coat with navy, it is a very occasional piece. Of course, I can wear it with a white shirt but I can wear a white shirt with almost anything

Very fun! What a great coat and colour! Do you wear charcoal, Irina? Or dark brown? I could see this coat being lovely with those neutrals, too if you don't like it with black.... I know what you mean about not liking to pair brights with black but FWIW I would actually classify this as more of a vibrant neutral than a bright -- therefore making it totally black friendly (well, in my books at least!). In any case, it's fabulous!

Jaime

Love it, cut and color and texture all come together perfectly!

Jonesy

Gorgeous coat! The fabric, cut, and color are scrumptious!

lyn67

Wow, YLF Irina! Love that color and the coat is a fab item, I see-and is best of all styled here, simple, crisp, current and still feminine-a bit scandi, too!:-)

celia

Wow, that is a beautiful coat. Love the outfit you built around it.
I wouldn't worry about the coat only making selected appearances, it's a special coat for special days in all the right ways

Joy

What a Beautiful color to wear in a sea of black coats! Enjoy! It looks wonderful on you.

Suz

What a gorgeous coat and it echoes the colours of some of the leaves both in fall and spring! Genius. I love the cut of it.

Laurie

Terrific outfit, and I love the coat - color and style.

Cole Haan sneakers always look sporty and stylish.

JAileen

Your coat is sensational! The whole outfit looks very nice, but the coat! ❤️

CarolS, Jaime, Jonesy, lyn67, Joy, Suz, Laurie, JAileen - thank you!

CarolS, it is bright to me or should I say, colorful. I would rather wear a one piece like a dress or a suit in a bright color. I equally dislike bright on top + black on the bottom and bright +colors. Yes, my relationship with colors is a complicated one

judy

Beautiful coat and color on you!
