i hate not being model tall. i love the ones burberry prorsum puts out for their s/s year after year. afraid of them falling below my knee. trying to find the red one from s/s 08 in a 38 or smaller though!

Vika- That trench is absolutely gorgeous! I have a black trench myself, but yours is just super chic, and quite lovely!!!!

I love it!!!!

The sartorialist has done a job for Burberry called Art of the Trench. Tho 100-pic-strong series is solid proof the Trench is anything but dowdy.

My two absolute faves he's posted so far are:

There is a girl in my class, who had a new trench coat every day of the week, last week. She looked immaculate in a beige Burberry style one.
I think most of the time they can look frumpy, but she looked very fashion, due to a thin brown belt around her waist.

I love trench coats.

They are classic and never go out of style.

I have quite a few.

Trench coats are always in fashion.

I have a trench coats by Rena Lange, Lanvin & Giambattista Valli. I think it depends on what your looking for. I chose some by fabric and others by style...

I think they look super pretty! I have one from Burberry and another from Chloe, but I prefer the Chloe one a lot more. It's just the right length

Trenches are classic and timeless. A great one can last you many years and through many trends.

I'm not an expert either, but we have bunches in the WAYWT thread Maybe you could ask for tips there. Some people take pix on hangers ... and the mirror ones seem to always be a flat mirror. Maybe Vika can help when she comes back ...

I'm going to say yes on the yellow trench
