The Timeless Trench

August 17, 2011

If you're aiming for an always pulled together, effortlessly stylish look then consider splurging on a trench coat this fall. It will likely be one of the wisest investments you'll ever make to your wardrobe because of its wearability and classic style. Throw it on over pants and a blouse for the office, a pair of leggings for travel or a dress for a nice dinner. The possibilities are endless.

There are several factors to consider when purchasing a trench coat including color, shape, length and details. Opt for a neutral color such as navy so you feel comfortable wearing this piece for most occasions.

The shape should be fitted to emphasize the woman underneath the garment, rather than oversized. You should be wearing the trench coat, not the other way around. Look for a trench coat that falls just above the knees so you can wear it with skirts, dresses and pants.

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, pay attention to the details. The buttons should be relatively large and the material should be versatile for more than one season and occasion.
