Hi Everyone!
I’ve been eyeing the Loft Corded Dobby Striped Trench since I received a coupon with a picture of the trench on the back.
Here is the image that initially sold me on the trench:
I plan to style the trench exactly like it’s styled in the previous image.
Here are a few IRL pictures of the trench:
I sized down to a medium in this trench. The large was too big in the arms/shoulders:
And, here is a view of the back of the trench:
So, I need your feedback. What do you think of the Loft Corded Dobby Striped Trench on me? I like it; however, I want to make sure that the stripes don’t make me look bigger.
Check out this trench on the lovely Gigi HERE. Has anyone else tried/reviewed this trench? Do tell!
Thanks for stopping by!
LOVE the look of the trench, and stripes and leopard are a really chic combination. You could definitely rock it!
joyandsunshine: Thanks SO much!!! I totally appreciate the feedback and compliment!Thanks SO much for being here!
I agree – the back of the trench is amazing! I think this will look chic with your colorful skirts, especially you new berry one! I vote for keep!
WMM: Thanks SO much!!!! You're spot on about pairing this trench with the new berry double-serge pencil skirt!Thanks SO much for being here!
The trench looks AWESOME on you! Definitely a keeper!
Beach Chic Girl: Thanks SO much!!!! I'm definitely keeping this trench. Thanks SO much for being here!
I just got this trench in the mail and LOVE it!!! I like it better buttoned up I think. It will definitely be a fall staple, for sure!
Jenni: Thanks SO much for your feedback! You're spot on that this trench looks better buttoned up. I tried it that way, and it's really adorable. More pictures coming soon! Thanks SO much for being here!
I adore this trench, the stripe pattern is fabulous! But I do think it could be more fitted, I'm not so crazy about the shape of it 😛 HTHTasia
Tasia: Thanks SO much!! Your feedback is spot on. The trench is much more fitted on me when it's buttoned up. I'll post more pictures soon!Thanks SO much for being here!
Love it, and it looks great on you. It will go well with so many of your vibrant colored skirts. Great choice!
Buffy Alten: Thanks SO much for your feedback!!! I genuinely appreciate the help and the compliment!Thanks SO much for being here!
Thanks for the link love. I agree it will go great w/bright pencil skirts. Also agree w/Jenni that it asks to be buttoned. I don't think stripes add weight on you. You can cinch the waist and give it more shape that way. The model is striking a pose, so wearing the jacket open just isn't going to look the same irl 😉
Gigi: You're very welcome! Thank you for the feedback and help! You and Jenni are definitely right, the trench looks much better buttoned. You're spot on about the model striking a pose…..a pose that I'd never try to emulate, LOL!!!Thanks SO much for being here!
I ordered mine a few days ago so I will let you know what I think soon. 😉 I'm nervous now though and hope it's not too big; I ordered my regular size.
Skylette: I'm sure that your regular size will fit you well! I should note that at times I need to size down up top in Loft jackets because of my shoulders. I know that you're going to rock this trench to perfection!Thanks SO much for being here!
I agree with some others that it needs to be belted or buttoned up, other than that it looks great! Keep it! Everything is 40 off today, so I think I might be getting this too! Sounds like we might be an army of striped trench coats:)
biscuitsandnavy: You're spot on, this trench looks much better buttoned. I went into the store and did the return/repurchase thing to get the 40% off!!! I love it that we're going to be an army of striped trench coats!!!! How do you plan to style yours?Thanks SO much for being here!
I tried one in the store and found that if you take the belt, pull it tight a little around the back and then tie it in the back, it opens the jacket in the front while giving your figure a shape. Try that with yours! Oh the possibilities with this jacket, I can't wait. It looks really good with the mustard yellow jeans and my warm jade no 2. skirt. I had to order the petite size and go up a size (my size was out), so I hope it fits when it gets here!
I love it on you, mine should be arriving today (so says UPS tracking haha) I also plan on styling it that same way as in the picture!
Tara: Thanks SO much!!! I know that you're going to rock this beauty well!!!Thanks SO much for being here!
i'm dying! i have so many trench coats, but i LOVE this one!! argh!! i wonder what i should do… :Dit looks fantastic on you!!!! xox P
phiphis blog: Thanks SO much!!! I know the feeling!!! I was thinking the same thing when I saw this trench. Loft is currently offering 40% off everything!!!!Thanks SO much for being here!
Rynetta, I LOVE this jacket on you! I'm ordering one today! 🙂
injanuity: Thanks SO much!!!! The 40% off makes this a sweet purchase/deal! How do you plan to style yours?Thanks SO much for being here!
Anything bright would look fantastic with this skirt. I think it would like great with skinny jeans, trouser jeans, colored/black Minnies, No.2s… How cute would it be with a black turtleneck, colored skirt/pants/jeans and printed Vivs/Valentinas? LOVE!
Great ideas, thanks SO much!!! I'll post OOTD styling options shortly! Thanks again, and thanks SO much for being here!
