Some assistance please: Earlier this week, I spotted this bright coral trench by ELLE for Kohl's online (see product pic above). I thought it looked good as featured in their spring lookbook, so today I decided to check it out in person—and it's actually really cute in person (I think).
The fabric has a nice sheen to it, the adorable collar frames the face nicely, and the pleat detailing along the cuffs and hem adds a subtle, chic touch. Overall, this trench fit me well and the color brought a smile to my face (despite the crummy lighting in the photo above).
The problem with this trench is that it's very lightweight, so it may not be warm enough for oftentimes chilly (and rainy) March weather. I'm also not loving the price, it's still over $50 on sale. What do you think, would you wear something like this? Should I get it or wait for something better to come along?
i got a 3/4 sleeved trench coat on sale at old navy last year and while it's nice, the 3/4 length sleeves are proving to be almost entirely useless. my lower arms get really cold. if it was further reduced or on clearance i probably wouldn't have felt as bad about buying it.
And I think it's too expensive for an item that won't even keep you away from the chill.
It's a great and UNIQUE color for you.
Coral/Peach looks good on Blondes.
Also, I love the pleating.
This is a spring coat though...just know that. But it won't be cold forever BB.
Let us know what you decide! x
I don't know if I'd be willing to pay so much for something that is just okay. I love love the color but those two buttons are too big or in a weird spot or something.
I was just at H & M last night and they have a lot of cute trenches in... You should go check it out first before you decide on this one!
But if you are looking for something trendy, this is cute although I personally do not like the pleats or the buttons (too cutesy). The color makes it enough of a statement.
It runs a bit big, so try it on.I normally take a 4/6 so a sm. and ended up with the xsm ....They were selling them really fast...the cranberry/coral was sold out on line so I ran to the store and they only had two left in that color so....do not wait too long if you want it...It has to be all about the LOVE , if you LOVE it, then it is a must no matter what any one says.
They carry a varity of colors, and many in waterproof materials... always a bonus!
