Classic coat that suits every woman

-

Trenches have a classic, timeless feel that I love. They also have a magic power to soften any look that seems too daring, giving it a hint of typically French conservati­ve nonchalanc­e.

In terms of colour, I would always go with beige or red — a Parisian’s most beloved accent colour. Black and navy appear, somehow, too strict. But you should always wear the right trench for your shape. here’s how . . .

Petite figures should choose a short trench (midthigh length).

Tall people should choose a long, fluid trench.

IF you have a round belly and no defined waist, choose an unbelted trench without a structured waist (a belted trench will do you no favours).
