On Trend with REGARD Magazine .... In the Trenches

The trench coat is a great classic and has been a fashion staple for nearly a century. They are not only an ideal outerwear option for transitioning weather but they are back with a vengeance on all the hottest winter/spring runways.  Here are a few important guidelines to explore when choosing an option that suites you best.

Your overcoat is one of the more important pieces you will invest in. Quality is vital as you will wear it for years to come.  Choose a classic cut with shoulders that fit well, and are structured but not padded.  Look for classic lines and finished seams.

A trench can be a great option for a professional environment in rain, but very traditional looking versions can not only look severe but can also run the risk of making you look like Inspector Gadget.  Instead, be sure your trench is tailored for a lady. While keeping with the idea of classic lines for inspiration, try a fun print, slightly different cut or interesting color. Have Fun!
