Here is my definition of a perfect trench coat: Waterproof for fickle spring weather but be light enough to keep dry in a summer downpour and a light shade of khaki to match with anything. A classic, vintage vibe, like something that Audrey Hepburn or Francoise Hardy would have worn around Paris, the kind with tortoise shell buttons and a belted waist. It also shouldn't cost $1,300 (ahem-Burberry I'm looking at you).
I'll post pictures of it soon with all its perfect little details. Until then, here is some inspiration for trench coat wearing with the leading ladies of 60's style and some more recent streetstyle updates.

I fantasize about finding a wonderful trench... someday, she will be mine! For now I am rocking my mom's oversized Barbour coat that she no longer needs (since moving to sunny SoCal). It's definitely too big, but it smells like sweet beeswax, has a fuzzy lining, and is flawless. XO
ReplyDeleteA trench coat is a must-have and I totally understand your quest for the perfect one! It's a quintessential, classy, timeless piece. I strongly associate it with a French or British look!
