The statement trench
WHO doesn’t love a trench? Trouble is they can be a bit too classic. Dare I say, boring?
My advice is to invest in this season’s trench-with-a-twist. Look for something oversized like M& S’s version (right). Or try a colour other than beige.
I particularly like this coral design (below) from Michael Kors at Neta-Porter (£295). It’s worth stressing again that coral is always a good buy as it comes back season after season.
I realise this trench isn’t cheap, but if you’re wearing it in ten years’ time it will have been worth it, and the beauty is that it works over a smart work dress just as well as with jeans.
Furthermore, you can even keep it going through autumn and winter’s colder days by layering a thin sleeveless puffa underneath.
