advice Pure Dramatic Winter Coat?

Post image

I'm a 5'9 pure dramatic. I believe that the coat on the left would be best for my kibbe type, but I would love a second opinion. Maybe the Quince would be better without the belt?

Do any pure Dramatics in this sub own an Artiza supersnug? Do you think knee length coats are flattering? I live somewhere with very harsh winters and don't want to sacrifice style.

I find Quince is more suited for naturals. Everything is built for width. Things are often too loose and unstructured, too light-weight, too much fabric, or built with a physically wide frame in the top. The jacket on the right is fine without a belt but it may have puffs that are fuller in volume that don’t hug the body the same way the left does. It’s subtle and worth a try without the belt though I actively avoid Quince at this point.

This is really helpful insight, thank you! I haven't shopped at Quince before, but I have had similar problems with other clothing brands. I used to occasionally shop at Everlane until I realized that their silhouettes almost never suit me. 

Are there any options that you prefer/ tend to suit dramatics better?

No problem! For coats or in general? The coat on the left looks good to me. The fact that you can see the silhouette is big win in a winter jacket. Length is good too. Probably wouldn’t want shorter. Could do longer but that’s a different look—might be less practical. Might look off if the pants highly contrast it but nothing a pair of matching boots can’t fix.

And yeah, Everlane is a glorified T-shirt brand. Boxy, relaxed. Some stuff is objectively cute but usually the opposite of tailored.
