How to style a trench coat

How to style a trench coat



An investment in a mac or a trench coat is the first step in making your wardrobe suitable for spring and summer. A classic trench coat can be styled and worn for both the day and night and every day of the week. This dark blue trench coat from Jesire is the perfect way to introduce lighter fabrics to your spring wardrobe.

It's all in the details


I think this is true for most of my outfits, but when investing in a trench coat try to look out for small details that will make it stand out. For example, in my Jesire coat, if you look closely you can see a subtle flower pattern on the fabric. This adds a touch of elegance and in the summer it looks great as it makes the coat stand out.

Belts


Most trench coats and macs come with a belt and I think it's one of the most important aspects of it. The belt clinches in your waist and is super flattering. My trench coat has a belt which is in the same fabric as the coat itself. I like to tie it in a double knot and this keeps my coat securely in place.

Wear it as a dress


This one is a bit risky and might not be for everyone's taste, but I personally love wearing this Jesire coat as a dress. Once paired with sheer tights and a nice pair of heels, like these Marks & Spencer black shoes, the whole look becomes simple yet elegant. In this look I was wearing a dress underneath the coat though!

Accessories


I love handbags and jewellery to finish an outfit. I decided to wear my trusty DKNY handbag with this trench coat. I like the gold hardware and the grey/beige colour works really well with the dark blue coat.
