Every spring we are reminded just how versatile and classic a trench coat can be. It’s probably one of the best wardrobe investments you will ever make, because it will never go out of fashion. If you currently have one from years past, you can easily update it by shortening it to the knee or slightly above.  If you happen to be in the market for a trench, there are two ways to go: 1. You could go for a trench in a bold color, which is very au courant. Or, 2. You can choose a classic black or tan trench. The latter may be the smarter buy if you don’t have a trench. However, if you already have a classic then you may want to consider punching your wardrobe up a little with a bold color. Or you can choose one with a modern take on the classic design like the Gryphon trench pictured above. It’s no loner about the rain, this coat goes anywhere, anytime, and with anything. It looks sassy and sophisticated with jeans and a tee. It also looks sexy and mysterious belted over a skirt or dress.  Either way, a trench is smart looking and makes any look polished and pulled together. It’s a must; ponder the purchase no more!

  • i love your site! A question about trenches...is there a rule about who looks best in a double-breasted trench vs. a single breasted one? It seems to me that single breasted trenches look better unbuttoned than double-breasted ones do. What do you think?
  • There really is no rule. It boils down to what you feel good in. I can give you a few tips though... Double breasted jackets in general are less flattering for a woman with a big chest. So, if you are blessed in the chest area stick with a single breasted style. It is a bit easier to leave the single breasted open. However, a double breasted is a smart classic look. I hope this helps.
