Let’s suppose you already have your classic trench coat, which you ought to have before adventuring on to something different. Let’s also suppose you are quite well off and you can afford to buy a second one.

What would you go for?

I thought perhaps you could go for a slightly different colour, like an olive trench, which is still quite a safe solution and is easy to match.

Or do you want to be more adventurous ? You could go for something bright

But of course these aren’t easy at all … you are going to have to watch what you put on underneath!

If these are way too bright, you can opt for this, a little colour but not too much

But if you really want something very different and glamorous, what about a patterned coat, isn’t this gorgeous?

And these? I always love tartan.

Can you manage them?

If the answer is no, look at the next one.

I know, it’s very classic and safe, but it’s so magnificent!!!

It isn’t exactly easy to find something other the classic trench coats, but there are a few around, so start looking and find the one which speaks about you.
