I am an extremely lucky lady and received a
black Burberry Short Kensington Heritage Trench Coat for Christmas this year from DH and FIL.
For reference, I am 5'-2" and 122 lb (long torso, short legs, haha). The size 2 coat (see pic below) felt slightly constricted in the shoulder/arm area, and it bunched up a bit in the chest area, so I returned it and will be sizing up to a size 4.
I am a musician, so half of my wardrobe consists of black outfits. Within the short period of time that I was in possession of the black trench coat, it seemed like I could see every spec of dust, lint, and dog fur (pug and Australian shepherd owner here; just look at my socks). Even though I felt like the black color looked really sharp, I'm afraid of having to carry around a lint roller every time I wear it. I want to be able to enjoy the coat without all the silly maintenance.
So, my question for all of you wonderful people is: when I exchange for the size 4, should I go for the classic
honey color instead?
