Getting Trenched at New York Fashion Week

I guess there is a distinct chill in the air in NYC as well as in the UK, as the most trusty of wardrobe staples, The Classic Trench Coat, has been making an appearance on some of the most admired Fashion Forward ladies attending New York Fashion Week.  I also wore mine down the school this morning before I stumbled across these images, so that doesn't count, as I couldn't possibly look as stylish in my £35 Kaliko bargain as these ladies!
The Editor of French Vogue teams her soft buttery shaded Trench with long grey peep toe boots and knots the belt at her waist.


Whilst Rachel Zoe (who still can't give up the Sunglasses) opts for long black boots with a full length back zip to compliment the belt and buttons on her Trench.  I am so relieved she has decided to go for straighter locks, it takes me ages each morning to try and re-create her usual California surfer chick waves!

Will you be swapping the fabric belt on your Trench Coat for a black one in the style of RZ? its a great way to update a classic, you can either match your belt to your bag or your footwear! 

And if you haven't already got one, it really is time to invest and there are plenty out there to suit all budgets!

  2. I love trench coats. I have an ancient Burberry I hardly ever wear and a Nicole Farhi full length cream one which is more glam. I bought it in a sample sale for £90 about 15 years ago. I've just had it dry cleaned and will definitely wear it this season. I'd love a knee length one though like Carine's. It looks great with the boots xx

  5. Ive got 3 and I really go on and off them, Im off them at the moment, I think its just becasue they remind me of when its gets so wet you HAVE to wear one, so I dont unless I have to! I do swap the fabric belt for my brown Westwood one sometimes.

  6. You must look so stylish at the school. I have a short sleeved one from Primark lol but it is a stunning fit but the short sleeves means that it is not very practical for fall xoxo

  7. I actually had to put my winter coat on today - I felt that cold but I guess it didn't help I was wearing a sleeveless dress underneath. So looking forward to see you as Jasper's show next week - see you in the bar! PS would you or Uni girl like my rabbit fur jacket? It needs a new home I am downsizing

  9. I think about getting one just about every year. It's mad, they're only going to get MORE expensive, so I should just buy one *flips open fashion notebook and scribbles down details*
