Ever since an unknown man boldly sauntered down the streets wearing nothing but a trench-coat and a smile, the look has become synonymous with confidence and raw sex appeal. Okay I lied, I don€™t know if this fashion fable ever really happened, but either way, there€™s no denying that a classic trench-coat is one of those must-have year-round staples that can always be counted on to up the glam quotient of your look. As winter slowly but surely gives way to spring (I don't buy this whole March 21st is the first day of Spring nonsense- it still feels like January to me), the trench is more essential than ever- especially when that famous adage April Showers bring May flowers comes to fruition. Making it even more fun to get entrenched in a trench (I think that's my new favorite saying) is the variety of updated trench styles: organza trenches, sheer trenches, ruffled trenches, bold colored trenches, lightweight trenches, and so much more that will have you wishing for more rainy days.
A classic tan trench is always a safe bet, but jewel toned and bold colored trenches will give your look an extra kick- not to mention the fact that they're totally on par with the bold color craze. Whichever style you choose, investing in a trench is a safe bet - you can wear a trench over a turtleneck during the lingering winter days, and over a thin tank on chilly spring nights. The trench trend has been going strong for over a century now (and this little tidbit I did NOT make up), and there is no doubt that the trench star will continue to rise!
