In The Trenches
Yes, we’re in the trenches this fall but in the best possible way. We’ve already divulged our go-to styles for the functional puffer jackets but now we’re investing in a more fashionable approach for winter - the trench coat. Wool, leather, canvas or nylon, whichever fabric of your choosing, you really can’t go wrong with this stylish coat that is not only versatile but chic as heck. And might we also argue, kinda sexy too? With its classic silhouette and undeniable versatility, this iconic piece of outerwear effortlessly combines form and function. As temperatures drop and snowflakes fall, the trench coat becomes a stylish savior, wrapping you in warmth and sophistication.
One style we have our eyes on this fall is the leather trench coat. This Milan fashion week was riddled with leather trenches that ranged from mid-leg to floor grazing styles and created the perfect union between edginess and modern sophistication. Sleek lines and luxurious silhouettes are a few phrases that come to mind for this ultimate statement piece but we also love the versatility it provides. Styling this piece with a pair of tailored sweatpants and a matching hoodie makes for a great everyday look. Draping a leather trench over an evening attire fit also embodies elegance and makes this a great addition for any autumn and winter wardrobe.
For a more classic approach, you might consider shopping for the traditional khaki trench coat a la Burberry style. This look is the definition of classic because it can truly be paired with anything you already own and is available in a multitude of lengths and styles for any interested buyer. Whether you're stepping into the office, heading out for brunch with friends, or attending a formal event, this versatile piece has you covered - and not just for style but from daring weather conditions as well. Pair it with a tailored suit for a sophisticated business look, or throw it over a casual ensemble of jeans and a sweater for an effortlessly chic vibe. If khaki nylon isn’t really your vibe and you want the chicness of a leather trench but the classic essence of the Burberry trench then opt for a black wool trench coat. Drape it over a turtleneck sweater and tailored trousers for an upscale look, or wear it with your favorite jeans and ankle boots for a cozy yet chic ensemble.
Whichever style you choose, you can’t go wrong when styling a trench coat. Not only is it a fashion necessity but it’s a great option for braving the fall and winter wind, snow and rain. Which trench style is your favorite?
