Originally designed for men, the first trench coat was invented by Thomas Burberry in 1914 for the army during the First World War (Trench coat, by the way, means trench coat). Today, it has become a staple in our women's wardrobes, we love it! But how do you wear it with style? Available in all shapes and colors, jaiio has deciphered the most trendy looks for you and gives you advice tailored to your body type.
Which trench coat style is right for my body shape?
Classic and always in style, the trench coat is THE essential coat for mid-season. For curvy women, it's recommended to choose a well-structured one: to define your waist and highlight your curves and bust, wear it with the buttons open and tie a double knot with the belt. A little extra, this will soften the strict look of the coat.
For slim women, dare to wear large collars and styles that hug your body. You can belt it at the front to accentuate your slim waist.
For women with wider hips, a straight or flared trench coat will suit you perfectly. You can also wear a large collar to add volume to your upper body.
For shorter women, avoid overly long trench coats and opt for a mid-thigh length. For taller women, you can opt for a longer length.
As for colors, it's best to choose a neutral color to wear it as often as possible. Navy blue, beige, khaki, or burgundy are the easiest colors to wear. Be careful with black, which, although it goes with everything, can make your outfit look boring and dull.
What look?
For an elegant look, it will pair perfectly with a pretty dress and heels, or with a dressy skirt.
For an androgynous look, wear it with 7/8 pants and loafers, or over a loose sweater with chinos. It also pairs well with a fitted denim shirt.
For a casual look, pair it with jeans, a pair of white sneakers and a white t-shirt: simple and effective.
