All great detectives, including Hanna, have one thing in common, an amazing coat! Whether it is warm or cool outside, an updated trench coat is the perfect topping to any outfit! It’s timeless and can easily be worked into every season’s outfit. A trench looks fantastic over leather pants in the winter and looks equally good over a mini dress in the spring, the options of what to pair with it are literally endless each season.
There are, however, a few things to keep in mind when looking for the perfect trench coat. First off, you want to look for a flattering A-line cut that cinches at your waist and slightly flares out towards the bottom. This specific cut looks amazing on every body type and prevents the jacket from looking frumpy. Second, look for interesting details that embody your personal style. For example, zippers, buttons, and darts all add a lot of style and easily transform the look and feel of the trench. Last but not least, make sure that the sleeves are ¾ length rather than long. Having a ¾ length sleeve is always the most flattering look on woman, especially when it comes to coats, so make sure your wrists are out in the open! As far as colors go, we love keeping things classic in camel, but we completely encourage you to push the envelope and experiment with other colors such as black, red, or navy. We also love transparent color trenches for the summer that add a futuristic twist to the classic trench.
