STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: #Trenching

February 11th, 2015 at 2:00am

In my opinion, there is not a more iconic staple piece than a trench coat. With the “coldest” season of the year at its end and spring so near, it is absolutely a must-have piece for the season. It is a key piece in your wardrobe that ensures sophistication and elegance in every ensemble. The trench coat is also versatile. You can pair it with a casual daytime outfit, as this Fashionista did, or with an evening dress.

This Fashionista applied a neutral, minimalistic style to create a timeless outfit. This outfit is perfect for the bipolar weather we continuously encounter in Florida. This Burberry wool coat falls right above the knees and puts a modern twist on a classic trench silhouette. This camel-colored coat’s design is one that is hard to beat, especially with the funnel neck. When belted, this coat exudes femininity without using pink bows.

When styling a trench coat, the possibilities are endless. The Fashionista paired her flawless trench with a dark, printed shift dress and nude booties, giving off a ladylike look. However, if she were to pair it with boyfriend jeans and edgy flats, it would create the modern twist every trench coat is begging for.

The Fashionista finished off her look with a neutral colored, top handle bag. Although none of the nudes in her ensemble are the same, the three that come together (coat, bag and shoes) are complemented by the dark dress, which made the outfit complete. If you are feeling a little more devilish, try this bag from NASTY GAL to spice up the look. Plus, it’s perfect for the upcoming holiday!

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “When I get dressed in the morning, the first thing I check is the weather. The worst thing is to be too hot or too cold on what is supposed to be a productive day.”
