How to Style a Trench Coat

Hello everyone! It is finally spring, so while the weather is warming up, you still need a jacket to combat the chilly temps. A stylish coat that will keep you warm, yet still fashionable is a trench coat. Trench coats are sophisticated and go with almost anything, but here are a few tips on how to style one:






















1. Layer a trench over a stripe shirt, cuffed jeans, and flats for a Parisian inspired look.

2. Toss a trench coat over your shoulders for a more fashion forward and edgy take. You are still keeping warm, but in a more stylish manner.

3. Play with prints. The coat pictured above is a leopard print, which is not very common in this style, so it is an updated version of a classic style. You can pair prints with neutrals or other prints for a more dynamic look.

4. Tie the trench at the waist instead of belting it for a cool girl look. Tying both the loops and the buckled sides together allows for a less stuffy look and accents your outfit.
