These elegant, everyday trenches do it all …
The question isn’t what is so delightful about trench weather, rather, what isn’t delightful about trench weather? It’s bright out but becoming autumnal and cosy; it’s warm enough to wear loafers, sans socks, and you can even break out a lightweight knit. Slipping on a trench coat is the adult equivalent of a new pencil case. It guarantees that back-to-school polish and sense of freshness. Speaking of polish, the right trench should be structured enough to wear with your office attire, but equally should contrast nicely with jeans and trainers come the weekend. In our opinion, a ballet length always feels nicely grown up; keep the fit slightly oversized and you’ll look contemporary. Shop a glossy edit of trench coats, below.
