Style of the day: the evergreen trench coat

When it comes to pieces with timeless appeal, there are few more enduring than a classic trench coat. From old-school Hollywood to contemporary chic, the trench coat is a modern wardrobe staple that never goes out of style. Both functional and fashionable, a basic trench or a black trench coat will keep your look pulled together and protected from the elements on blustery fall evenings, rainy spring afternoons, and everyday mornings when you’re on the go. The beauty of a trench coat is the way it lets you stand out, while blending in with your natural style. Trench coats for women have come a long way from the classic, belted khaki. Today, you’ll find slimmer silhouettes, bold colors, and shorter lengths alongside the iconic look you know and love.

My style is as follows: dress Gerry Weber, trench Esprit, bag Kelly Kross, shoes Nine West, necklace Comma, bobby pins Accessorize.
