Trend of the week: Trench coats

Master the ’grand soft day’ with a 2.0 trench, says Annmarie O’Connor.

INSPIRATION

Nothing says ‘wardrobe hero’ quite like the inimitable trenchcoat. Strong, reliable, dashing - this perennial staple is experiencing a timely renaissance. Expect this season’s soft silhouette to make elegance oh-so-effortless for modern gals-onthe- go. What’s not to love?

STYLE NOTES

. Tie loosely at the back and wear with this season’s wide-legged trousers for easy breezy luxe.

. Double your trend kudos with a trench in spring/summer’s fabrics: denim or suede.

. Pair with peerless classic pieces like a crisp shir t and jeans for a timeless take on the trend.

. Swap out your trench belt for a leather or embellished number for extra fl air!
