Invented by Thomas Burberry in 1914, the trench coat is the super practical jacket for the transitional seasons; it slips on any outfit and is almost timeless. Its advantage is that it suits all body types:it marks the waist and slims the silhouette.
There are revisited versions of the trench coat, but the presence of certain details is nevertheless important:structured shoulders, a military-style buttonhole, a strap belt and a stand-up collar.
How to choose the cut according to its size?
If you are petite, opt for a mid-thigh length to avoid the coat hanger effect, conversely, tall ones choose the mid-calf length.
Regarding the color, prefer beige, in addition to being the most classic color, it has the advantage of going with everything.
The fashion tip:you can replace your belt with a scarf and tie it in the back like a martingale.
