Jacqueline, Audrey and even Gwyneth have one thing in common, and that is the love of a good Trench coat.

This classic winter jacket can take you from the desk to dinner with the addition of some simple accessories. By adding a pair of stilettos and a statement broach or necklace the Trench always looks stylish and never seems to date.

If you choose to include the Trench in your working wardrobe opt for a tailored pant and a dress shirt or alternatively you could also wear a pinafore dress or pencil skirt.

When it comes to evening wear we like to see the jacket worn with your favorite cocktail dress and use the belt to cinch the Trench at the back for a different look. Add some beautiful hosiery and there you have a stylish and warm look for the cold winter nights.

We recommend retailers such as Sportscraft, Witchery and Veronika Maine for varying styles of the jacket, however if you are looking to invest in a Trench that will last you season after season look to Burberry as they have been designing the Trench since the brand was launched.
