Which coat should I keep?

[namechangedaily]

I can't decide! The second is a plum colour.

I think the pale one looks better.

I think the paler one looks better too but it is likely to get dirty very easily. Is it washable?

Neither. But the darker one would be better as it would show dirt far less.

I like the plum .

I think the lighter is better but as has been mentioned it will show up dirt far easier

The darker one is better.

Nope not the second, the first!

The darker one

The lighter one. You look slimmer in it.

@GoodnightGrandma

The lighter one. You look slimmer in it.

I think this too. But the coats look identical in style, so maybe that's just camera angle?

The darker one. The light one is a bit middle-age-beige

I think the lighter one looks better with light jeans and agree that the camera angle makes you look slimmer in that one but I actually prefer the plum one.

I think the lighter one looks nicer.

Neither. The cut is very unflattering

Neither, sorry. The belt cuts you in half horribly and it's a weird length - it needs to be shorter or longer!

I'm not keen on this style in you either OP. The belt is very unflattering.

Honestly neither, you can get warm stylish coats better than those.

If you really must though, thr darker one.

I have the same coat OP I have it in a greeny brown sort of colour. It is a Phase Eight?

I expect it looks different in RL than in the pics. The light colour is a bit naff.

I wear mine for walking the dog and it always looks OK.
Get the darker one. If it is a Phase Eight, I can tell you it will keep you warm and hold it's shape. I have had mine for years and it still looks like when I first bought it.
When it gets dirty I wash it in the machine, line dry it and then fluff it up in the tumbler.
Perfect !

The belt is so unflattering!

I would go for a similar coat which is longer and in an olive green and slightly slimmer in the cut.

If you want the belted style specifically then I would go for a longer version. Out of the two I prefer the lighter one but not massively keen on it (sorry).

Very dated old fashioned style and the purple colour is awful. I also think winter coats should be a bit longer for warmth and protect from the rain.

Prefer the plum colour but I do think a longer style would be more flattering

Neither. It’s too short waisted on you. Agree a coat should be longer. Prefer the paler coloured one.

@Eternallyfrazzled

Purple coats are old lady coats! Seriously I really regret buying my Uniqlo purple puffer as everywhere I go I see old lady’s in the same colour coat and I already feel like I look older than I am these days!

And, your point? Because, heaven forbid, who wants to look like an 'old lady'. That's like, the worst insult ever 🤬
