3 Ways To Wear a trench Coat

It's that time of year when a Trench coat is one of the handiest items you can have in your wardrobe. For this example I have picked a classic double breasted style. However, This style isn't ideal on everyone so adapt it to suit your shape. If you are large busted, choose a single breasted option and if you don't have a waist or don't want to wear a belt a swing style will work better on you.

With that caveat in place let's talk about why a Trench is so versatile.

A trench is practical as well as being stylish, in fact it's a Style Icon that just doesn't date. While it was originally created for British soldiers in World War one, it really got its style credentials later when worn by the likes of Catherine Deneuve and of course Audrey Hepburn. Many a Femme Fatale has donned a Trench coat, occasionally with little else underneath!

It gets its versatility by having the ability to be dressed up or down. It looks just as great over a pair of jeans as it does over a shirt dress for the office. And if it happens to be raining when you are heading out for dinner it's the perfect finishing touch. If you know it's something you will wear often, it's worth investing in the best you can afford. However, if your budget is small, almost every High Street brand will have some version of the Trench - good old Marks and Spencers having some of the best. Other great places to look are John Lewis, Hobbs, Jigsaw and Whistles - where the one below comes from.
