ALL IN THE DETAILS: Trendy Trench Coats

Even though it’s spring in Western New York, that doesn’t mean it’s consistently 60 degrees. We still have to deal with frequent thunder storms and a lot of wind before we can appreciate the warm weather. Since you’ll still need a jacket during this time of year, why not opt for a trench coat? Take a few tips on how to style this trend from this Fashionista.

What I love about this look is how classic it is. The black-on-black skirt, top and scarf paired with a camel colored trench coat allows that coat to act as the focal point of this outfit. Another great feature is the color combination used in this look. Simply pair together neutrals that you feel confident in. What’s great about neutral colors is that they’re versatile; you can wear them for any style or occasion.

Another great element of this trendy ensemble is the Fashionista’s booties. What I appreciate about booties is that you can easily dress them up or down. Here, she paired them with tights and a skirt, so she’s going for a dressy look. But, if you’re wearing boyfriend jeans and a top, you can still rock these shoes. Booties are also versatile throughout the seasons; who says you can’t make them work for spring and summer? Trust me; you can, and this Fashionista proves it.

After a day of classes, meetings and other responsibilities, you can transform this outfit into a look for the nighttime. Simple swap out the booties for heeled wedges, and ditch the scarf. With a few fixes, you’ll be ready for a night out with friends.

How To: Choose a neutral as a base color. If you don’t want to wear a black skirt with a black top, opt for a chic look, and pair white denim and a white top with your trench coat. Add comfortable booties and a stack of bracelets to complete the look.
