Spring Essentials: All About the Trench

It may not quite feel like it yet depending on where you are but spring is just around the corner.  In preparation for the Spring 2015 GYPO Style Challenge, I’m starting a series each Friday featuring a different spring essential to add to your wardrobe.

Our first week is all about the trench.  It’s no secret that I’m slightly obsessed with trench coats and here’s why:

Three Reasons Why Trench Coats are a Spring Essential

  1. They will never, ever go out of style.  A good trench coat lasts forever.
  2. They’re incredibly versatile and can be worn with skinny jeans and flats, dresses and heels or anything in between.
  3. They pull together any look and add a touch of chic like nothing else can.

Whether you go with traditional khaki or experiment with color and pattern, you just can’t go wrong.  Here are a few ways that I styled my trench coat collection last year.
