Entrenched in fashion

The trench coat is a staple, a great cover up for many occasions, and a timeless wardrobe classic.

These days trench coats come in all the colours of the rainbow, adding almost effortless chic in so many different ways. From form-fitting separates to delightful denims, a trench coat will add form and function to an outfit.

Here are some styling ideas to try:
SMART CASUAL – Pair a trench coat over a classic white t-shirt and high-waisted trousers. Tuck in your tee, add a belt, and a pair of chunky soled boots, and you’ll be good to go from 9 till 5.
GO TONAL – Dressing in monochrome will ensure
the trench coat is the hero of the outfit.
Combine complementary shades and textures, such as a chunky knit sweater with elegant flowing wool pants. To add interest accessorise with shoes and/or bag in a contrasting colour.
BE BOLD – Wear colour under your trench, and yes – you can wear matching (or tonal) top and pants. Opt for a seasonal hue – magenta, emerald, sapphire, citrine – and a pair of ankle boots to finish the look.
