Temperatures are dropping and I can’t be more excited to pull out my long coats, boots and wool hats. But, I always feel most fashionable and chic in a trench coat. I love that they provide the right amount of coverage from the wind and chill all while tying any look together.

Wear it closed, draped over the shoulders or open. Any way will make a statement. I love the way a trench elevates a causal look just as much as I enjoy it paired to unveil a chic, dressy outfit for a night out to dinner or happy hour.

However you decide to wear your trench, theres really no wrong way! This Banana Republic Belted Tortoise Button Trench is sold out but here’s a similar option. This one from J. Crew Factory is not only close in style but also a steal.
