Must Have: Trench Coat

Dear Readers,

I have always had a love for all things classic, Hollywood Stars, Films, Novels, and of course clothing. One of my favourite classics pieces that I think all wardrobes require is a trench coat. I have recently purchased a new Ralph Lauren navy trench coat and it is my new favourite item in my closet. First of all I do have an addiction to coats.. they can just do so much for an outfit!! A beautiful, well fitted coat can completely hide anything you are wearing underneath and instantly look fabulous. I was once extremely hungover and going on only a few hours of sleep and I thought I looked awful. I was out with a friend and I met one of her friends for the first time and she thought based off that impression I was the most put together girl she had ever met, and I was dying on the inside!!! All because of a perfect jacket.

When it comes to picking a trench coat there are two signature choices: Navy and Beige. Both are wonderful, just figure out which goes better with your wardrobe, or just buy both! There is also the option of having a long or short coat. I personally prefer a long style better, because it can cover your dress and just keep you dryer from the rain. I think that short jackets should be kept to jean and quilted jackets.
