Every stylish woman knows the importance of a gorgeous coat. However boring or slobby your chosen outfit may be, a beautiful coat will pull the look together seamlessly.
Every winter coat styles come and go. For AW11 we were swamped with choices from cocooning blanket coats to masculine jackets with leather accenting by way of Prada-esque shaggy furs. However, I still always shun the high fashion coats and opt for something simpler, and I have been searching for the perfect trench coat for years now.
While I adore my classic Zara camel coat, and I often don my Topshop checked number, I just can't see past the timeless appeal of a crisp trench coat. A flattering cut and neutral colour make the Burberry-inspired trench a true wardrobe staple and this Studs & Lace number is just what the doctor ordered.
Retro fashion icons like Bardot and Audrey Hepburn often sported a trench, mainly as casual attire, but their modern counterparts are also fans of the style. Victoria Beckham frequently slings hers over a shift, and Alexa Chung keeps hers simple with a kooky LBD or breton stripes. It is the easiest coat to pull off, and is lightweight enough to work for SS12.
So if, like me, your New Years resolution is to build up a wardrobe of high quality classics, where is a better place to start than the quintessentially stylish trench coat?
