A more casual look can be achieved with a sweater and jeans under a belted mid length trench coat. Trench coats can be a whole outfit by themselves, of course not literally the only article of clothing you are wearing, but when zipped or buttoned up, no one needs to know that you are wearing your PJ’s underneath.
Styling Different Trench Coat Lengths
Trench coats are of course not a one-size fits all article of clothing. Certain styles accentuate different body shapes.
Short Trench Coats
This style is perfect for our short queens. While elongating your midsection, a trench coat that sits at the waist will not shorten your legs. If you have a more curvy figure, short trench coats can unintentionally make you look boxy.
Medium Trench Coats
A medium length trench coat is the no questions asked timeless staple piece to invest in to upgrade your wardrobe in your 30’s. This length hits right above the knee which is a win if you’re tall, short, long legs, short abdomen, you can always pull together your fall look with a classic trench coat.
Long Trench Coats
We aren’t going for the “Neo” look from the Matrix, but more top-tier elegance. More of a go to choice for winter wear, but there are many oversized trench coats that are lightweight and practical for fall. Ladies with height most certainly can rock a long length trench coat, but for our shorter ladies, stick with the medium and short trench coats for the best fashion style.
What is a Double Breasted Trench Coat
A double-breasted trench coat is a style of trench coat that features two columns of buttons on the front, with one column overlapping the other. This style of coat is often associated with a more formal or classic look and is typically worn with the collar up and the belt tied around the waist. The double-breasted design can help keep the coat securely fastened and provide extra warmth, making it a popular choice for the colder fall season.
