If you don’t own one you ought to.
It’s chic
It’s a classic
It looks right with any outfit
It will never go out of fashion
oh… it protects you from rain/wind/cold….
but this is secondary of course….
When you buy it, it must be all of the above, that means this is a piece of clothing you must allow for a reasonable amount of money. Quality is essential, both because cheap ones look awful and also because this coat will have to last you for years….
Now, while I think THE trench coat IS Burberry’s, I realise many of us can’t stretch that far. So, here are some which can be good enough to fall back onto:
The classic:
- warehouse-trench-beige
- _More &More Trench – beige
- Barbour CHATSWORTH – Trench – olive
The shorter classic:
- Tommy Hilfiger Trench – beige
- MbyM FRAMED – Trench – grey
- Pepe Jeans AVA – Trench – beige
Something a little different:
- Comma, Trench – beige
Finally, the dark option….
- G-Star TWIGGY – Trench – black
- MbyM FRAMED – Trench – black
- comma, Trench – black
