Trench coats are known to be universally flattering, all around the world! Whether you’re in China, New York, Paris or London, I guarantee you’ll find someone in a trench coat.

It’s the easiest way to make an outfit feel more put together and thought out. It makes even the simplest of outfits (here I’m wearing black leggings and a white vest) look super chic without the need for an abundance of jewellery and accessories.

I don’t know about you but I find it a little overwhelming at times with all the choice that’s on offer. For me, when I come to choosing a trench coat, I don’t look for warmth (many of them can be quite thin) but I look for ones that are maybe waterproof, will layer well or just look, well, great.

So as I sit here waiting for my husband to come back from the supermarket, I couldn’t help but take a quick peek online at some new season trench coats. I’m amazed at some of the prices! Check out my edit below.
