Streamlined and lightweight
I ordered several Mango trenches, during the sale, and thought I would have liked another better. I took this in the XS and S, and haven't even tried the Small as the XS is plenty oversized and I am even wondering if I need the XXS. As reference, I am 5'5" and 117, but very small framed. I don't think the sizing guide is very accurate, I would say size down from it. What I like about this is that I discovered that being so small framed, the coats with all the flaps and buckles and epaulets, are just too overwhelming on me. I like this clean, streamlined look. I also found the others way too heavy in weight, and just not comfortable, especially in layering over a sweater or blazer. I like that these sleeves are nice and wide so easy to wear over bulkier items for warmth, yet it has a nice drape to it and more comfortable to sit and move in. I have always lived in warm climates so cannot stand to feel tight or constrained in my clothing...this weight feels great and seems like it won't wrinkle much, as it came pretty unwrinkled. The color, which I thought may be too light, is really perfect. It is more of a light stone, I would say cooler tones, so it looks great with everything from different taupe's and beiges to greys and red...any color goes great. The only concern I have is that it says to hand wash, and not iron. I don't know how easy something this large is going to be to put in a kitchen sink to wash. I wonder if on delicate it could be machine washed? This is 48" length, so on me it is longer than shown on model, which I really like. It is definitely an oversized look with dropped shoulders, wide sleeves, etc., but due to it being light and having a nice drape, you don't look like you are wearing someone else's coat!
