Why Buy a Trench Coat?
Trench coats look good on everyone, they add adult sophistication to any outfit, keep you dry, and look great with both rain boots and shorts or party dresses and stilettos. What other jackets can do that?!
You’ll look great walking into your interview in editor pants and trench over a nice blouse. There’s nothing worse than completing a dressy outfit with a sloppy jacket, but a trench is a great option–comfortable and cute…Not to mention that the trench is also totally iconic.
Tips for Wearing and Buying a Trench Coat
1. Go classic.
For a classic, sophisticated style, pick a longer trench in a neutral hue. Taupes, black, and khakis are all good bets for creating your look. In these colors and with its timeless silhouette, a classic trench will be a piece you can wear for years to come.
