Orange Houndstooth J.Crew Greta Coat


J.Crew at ShopStyle

Italian houndstooth Greta jacket, $375.00, Item 96180

A few weeks ago, I wrote about how I came across the Greta coat in my Glamour magazine in the post, “J.Crew Greta Coat in Orange Houndstooth.”  I was so excited that I recognized a J.Crew piece before it was officially on the website.

Many of you wrote about how you thought it was great coat.  I was even informed that it came in a little CrewCuts version which oh-so-adorable.

I have been thinking between this Greta jacket and the Felicia coat in bright rhubarb.  Last year, I purchased a black, brown and ivory coat from J.Crew.  So this year, I really want a fun coat.  And I am not sure which of these to go with.

But now that the Greta coat in houndstooth is available to purchase online, are you considering it?  Do you like the shape of the coat?  Do you prefer the solid colors?

    This coat is too cute, even though I don’t think I could pull it off! The orange-y color is very fall-esque and I love the texture of the fabric and the shape…it seems to be flattering for any body. If you get it, let us know how you like it!

    On the model, it looks like maternity wear. High buttons are difficult to pull off unless you’re flat-chested. I bet it would look much better worn open.

    Raina, you do bring up a good point. And if you are flat chested, you couldn’t really wear a chunky sweater under this coat.

    By the way, thanks for including me in your blog roll! I added you to mine tonight.

    I actually just found out I’m pregnant and I’m considering purchasing this coat to take me through the winter. I think the shape is cute enough to wear post-pregnancy too. I think that I will most likely purchase one of the solid colors….the houndstooth is a little too loud for me.

    I still like the look of it, but like everyone is saying, it is hard to tell how the cut will fit different body types – I am a bit afraid it will be a bit too tent-like. Also, the orange houndstooth has a belt at the back in photos, which gives it some more shape, but the solid colors don’t seem to have this belt…? Maybe whoever buys it first can post :)

  6. Leigh says:

    Lauren, congratulations! This coat does have a great fit for a welcoming mother.

    Aasha, I have ordered the coat and will review it upon its arrival.

    I also think it is a bit too tent-y for my tastes. On the other hand, the girls’ Prunella coat is awesome. I’d take that in an adult size!
