The trench I am showing you in today’s post is one of my favourite styles. I bought my “car coat/mac/trench” from Marks and Spencer, a few months ago.
Trench coats are the perfect lightweight outerwear option, especially “between seasons.” They are certainly a stylish staple while offering great protection. There is that old saying, “Ne’er cast a clout till May is out,” So true, as this is the time of year when we can still be caught out by a cold spell, which we are currently experiencing.
The coat I am wearing in today’s post is also available in Navy. The material is cotton and it has an easy to wear button-through style with a relaxed feel and neat collar. Plus, there are practical side pockets as well as an internal pocket. It is made from water-repellent Stormwear to keep me dry from April showers. The cotton is also sustainably sourced. In today’s post, I’m showing you how I have styled mine.
Great little coat, very similar to one I bought last year from JLP after seeing it on a couple of people I follow on insta ! I agree they are so useful to have in your wardrobe. I used to own a traditional style trench when I had an office job, but it never looked right dressed down and when it didn’t fit any more I sold it on !! Sometimes I even pop a hoodie or padded gilet under mine. Hope you have a lovely weekend x

It is such a versatile item, hence, I needed to replace my shabby trench, which I’d worn to death. They are great for layering all the year around. Have a great weekend too Karen. xxx
That coat is timeless! I’m glad you were finally able to get it in your size. It will definitely get put to use and is sure to go with everything!

I’ve already worn it quite a lot – such a great layer at this time of year.xx
I do have an old trench…it may be Tommy Hilfiger…and I’ve worn it so long and so much, the inside pockets have all but disintegrated. It’s black and white polka dotted…the black is that nice faded color now! I get so many compliments when I wear it even though the lapels are too wide (or are they now)! Love this trench on you…just as you’ve said…it’s timeless and will work with everything!

I love the sound of your trench. Sometimes our old favourites are better than the new addition. I have parted with a few items in the past which I now regret. Have a great week.xx
I have only had one trench over the years. Maybe it is time to get one again.

Thank you so much, Lovely. I’m getting a lot of wear from it. Especially all the rain were experiencing.xx
Lovely classic trench coat. M&S often seem to run out of sizes 10, 12 and 14 I’ve noticed, you’d think they would realise and order more in the most popular sizes. Glad you got it in the end! Thanks for linking up!
