Get the look: Trench coats

A warm winter coat is a wardrobe essential. Invest in a classic style or opt for a fashion-forward look with texture and a fun trim. A coat always looks elegant worn over simple layers. Neutral hues are really versatile, but why not try a bold colour this time?

Trench coats are a great alternative to heavier winter styles and as they’re waterproof, they’ll keep you warm and dry. In winter opting for a heavy-duty wool or leather will keep you extra toasty and always check to make sure your coat is lined. 

Here are some tips about bringing the best out of your trench oat during the colder months.

  • Invest in a pure silk coat in a bright colour and wear it over dresses on special occasions or with dark denim jeans and a white t-shirt at casual events. You’ll wonder what you ever did without your colourful coat!

  • Dress up a classic trench coat by swapping the belt for a chunky statement piece. Wearing your coat fitted at the waist will make the most of your feminine curves

  • If your coat has a gorgeous lining, fold the sleeves back to expose the inside print

  • Add a touch of glamour to dark winter coats with bold, gold, antique-look accessories.
