Work Ready
The trench is a great coat for in-office work days. It's got you covered for any weather and can serve as an overcoat for a blazer or a light jacket on more business casual days. It's perfect for spring days when it's chilly in the morning and has warmed up by the time you leave the office. If it has a zip-out fleece liner, even better!
Dress it Up
Evenings usually stay a little cool in the spring, and that's when a trench will serve you best. Pick one in chic black, made of higher-quality material, and you can dress it up for a night out. It also provides a little more coverage if you're taking public transportation and don't want to share your sexy party outfit with everyone. Wear it over your shoulders when your destination doesn't have a coatcheck and create a dramatic cape-like effect.
Casual and Bold
Pick a trench in a bold color, and you will have a fun piece that's also practical. Pair it with jeans and a t-shirt, and it's perfect for a day out with friends or the kids. It adds a pop of brightness that screams, "I'm ready for spring!"
