A trench coat can turn any basic outfit from drab to fab instantly. They were featured in many of the Spring 2021 runway shows, in updated colors, patterns and silhouettes. Always a wardrobe essential, a trench coat is sophisticated, stylish and practical too! Perfect for a rainy day, but also a great choice for spring days and evenings when you want to elevate your outfit with a smart coat.
If you do not have a trench coat, or the one you have no longer fits or flatters you, consider my recommendations below. Or, if like me, you have a bit of an obsession with jackets and might want to add a new one to your collection, read on. In fresh colors like deep lavender and yellow, or in modern plaids or faux leather, there are styles to suit everyone. Look for a belted trench if you want to bring attention to your waistline, or a straight silhouette to skim over the body. Short trench coats are super versatile as they can easily be dressed up or down and are ideal for travel. Happy browsing!
