The fit is perfect and I love you in pink! Several years ago I bought a Landsend puffer jacket in pink in a similar style. I thought it was too bright a pink and was going to return it except DH loved the color on me. He usually never comments without being asked. Well, to make a long story short, I kept it and all I got was compliments and questions as to where I bought it. The color made me happy during our long gray winter. I was sad to see it go!

I haven't read all the other opinions but I really like the gray. The pink flatters you but is really LOUD and I don't think it fits your style very well. Especially since you are still trying to get the basics of your coat wardrobe covered, I would stick to neutral colors and add something bright and fun later if you can and want to do so.

Thanks Amy! I'm going to ask my friends in case they're online this evening what they think about it, but generally the grey one would fit much better into local (student) style. Colors are mostly dark and neutral and the style is mostly casual, relaxed and more minimal than maximal. Even with the not so bright colors I wear I'm often one of the more colorful people in a room.

Thanks for the input, Jorja!

Thanks Brenda! The argument that I'm still covering my basics is a good one. I also agree that I'm not one for loud colors usually, you just have to take a look at my Pinterest style board to see that's true.

It looks very nice but I prefer the pink coat.

Astrid, the gray puffer looks fabulous on you! It's a beautiful soft neutral color and the lining is fun for a discreet pop of color.

I did love the pink on you, but I understand what you're saying about your environmental norms, and it sounds like a neutral color will work better for you.

I say, go gray and have fun with colors in your hats and scarves. It looks great. Though the pink is very do-able, it's the first thing you notice, whereas with the gray I notice your own attractive hair color and coloring. And you still can wear lots of bright colors in your clothing-sweaters and such.

I am hard put to decide which is more flattering but I actually want to vote for grey because it seems the more unusual choice with the neon details. And it looks lovely as a complement to your hair, did you know?

Thanks Joyce!

Thanks Parsley!

Thanks Unfrumped! I agree that with the pink you're seeing the color before you see me. I think I'll keep the grey if it looks good in natural light.

Thanks Manidipa! I didn't really pay attention to my hair, but it does look nice with it. Also agree that the neon details are something special, I haven't seen any other coat with this feature.

That is one flattering puffer! I like the gray a lot. The pink is fun but overpowers your lovely hair and features.

If you feel good in the grey, I would keep it. You need a warm coat, young lady! The fit is wonderful. I get that the pink sticks out too much around here.

Thanks Stacey!

Thanks Scarlet! I do think I'm going to keep it, just got some endorsement via Skype too.

Astrid, I vote keep the grey one. It looks great (they both do) but you are more of a grey coat girl and it would give you no headaches when it comes to mixing it with your existing wardrobe.

A good coat is hard to find and your winters are not mild.

Thanks Ornella! And you're right, the grey is more of a no brainer. I can always get another one in a happy (and not so loud) color later on. I've finally realised that with our climate it's alright to have some options with outerwear.

I love the pink as well but I think the grey is wonderful. You can add a scarf as you wish in any colour. Not saying that one must fit in, but when I lived in Germany I found women wore mostly neutrals as outerwear, similar to France.

Another vote for the grey I don't see you being comfortable with the pink.
The fit is perfect Astrid

Good discussion going on here, Astrid. I think the grey is a wonderful choice. You won't feel as conspicuous as you would in the pink. Also, I think the grey coat will have more longevity (as in, you won't tire of the color quickly). Call it taupe if that makes you feel any better; I think it looks nice on you! I know how hard it is for you to find good coats that fit you. The fit on this really is stellar, which we all know is nigh impossible for anyone, petite or not, in a puffer.

Chiming in late, but I vote for the grey, even though I know how frustrating it is when a shade is off. Judging from the pic in 6 though I don't think it'll give you too many problems; I think I'm a soft summer too, and the greys that give me the hardest time are the lighter, brighter, more yellow ones. I do love blue greys the best, so I understand your disappointment, but the cut of that coat is so flattering on you! You'd regret giving it up.

I still love the pink on you but if you feel more comfortable in grey then keep it. The fit is perfect and the grey is a nice color too.

Oh, Astrid! Any decision? I would like the grey to be more slate than it is. It's a perfect fit either way, and honestly I prefer the pink on you objectively despite preferring silver in general. But you are the one who will wear it... You really can't go wrong.

Thanks Glory! That's true.

Thanks Caro! I think you're right, I wouldn't be comfortable in the pink.

Thanks Claire! You're right, a fit like that is hard to find.

Thanks E! The color really isn't bad, just not the ideal one. And I'm always going to wear a scarf when it's cold enough for this coat in any case.

Thanks Sveta!

Thanks Una! I've decided to keep the grey. I'm comfortable wearing it and I NEED a coat.

Wise decision Astrid - a very euro chic look imo. Have fun with your scarves

Thanks Caro! It's interesting that you think this looks like Euro chic. I have to say I've still not quite understood what this term is supposed to describe...

I love the silver one. They were out of that one last year when I bought my short version. I hope you enjoy it. It's a very stylish warm coat.

I'm glad you're keeping it Astrid and if I needed another down coat, this is the one I would go for. I love the pop of citron with the grey.
