When Trend and Classic Collide: The Trench Coat
As we’ve discussed before, there always seems to be a battle between “Trends” and “Classics.” But, there is something special, that’s a beautiful kismet in our fashion world.
What’s that?
Where “Classic” and “Trend” collide and this Fall, guess what’s trending?
The classic trench coat!
Yes, the trench coat is trending this Fall, which means it’s a fabulous time to invest in one. They will be available in a greater range of varieties and at different price points (oh the saaaaaales are comingggggg)!
To get those style juices flowing, let’s take a peek at some double-breasted inspiration. The trench coat was made popular thanks to those “old Hollywood” movies (like Casablanca). So play it, Sam, for old and new trend’s sake:
Here are a few things to consider when shopping for your trench coat.
Consider your frame and the weight of the coat. Be sure the weight of the fabric doesn’t overwhelm your frame, especially if you are on the petite side.
Take note of the length. What kinds of outfits will you be wearing it with most often? Consider the length of the dresses and pants that will be ideal to wear with this coat.
Reflect on your style vibe. Are you a more feminine dresser? Go for a trench with piping or a puffed sleeve. More minimal and no-nonsense? Choose a more tailored, no-frills look.
Try on different options. Sometimes it’s easy to think you can just choose one online (and that’s the one you have to keep). Not so! The best way is to try a few different trenches on and compare how you wear each one – you may surprise yourself.
Don’t forget about color! Beige isn’t your only option. Consider which tone will match your outfits and look complement your coloring.
