I’m catching up on my reading since this post was before my time. I just bought a beautiful Orange Ralph Lauren anorak in this style that fits my fabulously. I saw the Michael Kors one, as well, and although I love pink I opted for the orange. This post has inspired me to wear this on my casual days, rain or shine!

What is the difference between an anorak and a trench coat?

Anoraks can look fab - but you have to be careful about what you team them with. Leggings/footless tights or skinny/fitted denim are best. Because they can make you look bulkier than you are, keep bottoms sleek and simple. Also, choosing one with a drawstring waist helps maintain a more svelte appearance.

I’m too small for the anorak look. I don’t like all the pockets.

Cute for a day of errands and groceries I think

Sorry, Angie, but I have to disagree with you on this one. I am having trouble with this look just as I have an issue with the whole concept of a fashion sneaker. It is still a sneaker and this is still a sport jacket. The yellow one in the middle is cute and I would like it ritht now with my grey trousers and white shirt or nice jeans for the weekends. However, next year I would be wondering what I was thinking.

i think angie’s comparison to a fashion sneaker makes a lot of sense, and i’m loving these fashionable anoraks. do NOT wear them with gym shoes, rather, pair with sharp trousers (skinny jeans if you’re young) and a classy ballet flat. a comfortable and cute look for spring.

Oh how I would love to be able to wear one of these little numbers, to look casually sporty and on trend at the same time but alas though I have tried, the anorak is just not “me” (possibly because I am NOT sporty in any way, I don’t know)

Hang on ladies. It’s important to understand that these are fashion items and not gear. They are purchased in the fashion area and not in a sports shop. You cannot compare this look with an item that you had 15 years ago. It’s not quite the same. It’s much like the difference between an athletic running shoe and a fashion sneaker. Hope that makes sense.

I agree. I can’t see this as anything other than what I would wear camping. Do you have a picture of one with a little black dress?
