Trench Coat – Isn’t Just Outerwear; It’s The Outfit

It’s time to break free from the monotony of classic trench coats. For far too long, we’ve seen them stuck in neutral black and beige, like they’re hiding in the background of a cityscape, blending in with the pavement. But this winter, we’re stepping into something bolder, something that whispers luxury and screams confidence – trench coats in emerald green and rich copper tones. Oh, darling, we’re about to make winter your personal runway.

Now, imagine this: You’re walking down the street, cold air brushing past your cheeks, but instead of the predictable beige coat everyone else is wearing, you’ve wrapped yourself in a striking emerald trench coat that catches the light just so. You’re glowing, literally turning heads as you go. And why not?

Emerald is the color of royalty, of mystique, and it’s unapologetically regal. You’re not just embracing winter; you’re commanding it.

Trench It And Dress It

And what’s a trench coat if it’s not versatile? My love affair with the trench started as a coat—obviously. But let me tell you, it has evolved.

These days, a trench coat isn’t just outerwear; it’s the outfit. The designer also is a master in crochet clothing.

Pair it with matching bucket hats, cinch it at the waist, and, darling, wear it as a dress. Yes, you heard me right. A trench coat can be your entire look. Why limit yourself when you can be wrapped in head-to-toe luxury?

This winter, I am utterly obsessed with rich copper tones too. Picture this: the soft metallic sheen of copper shimmering under the low winter sun, adding warmth to the cold, dull air. Copper is that unexpected twist in your winter wardrobe, it gives a nod to classic elegance but with a modern, bold twist. It’s like slipping into a metallic dream, only it’s wrapped around your body in the form of a trench coat. Copper brings a glow to your skin, a fire to your spirit, and let’s face it, it makes you look as if you’re walking straight out of a high-end fashion editorial.

Emerald Trench

Let’s get into the details, shall we? I adore pairing an emerald trench with balloon trousers, yes, balloon trousers. They’re playful, elegant, and oh-so-comfortable, giving you that extra room to move while still looking fierce. Match that with a sleeveless vest underneath, and suddenly, you’ve got layers of intrigue. You’ll look like the queen of layering, darling. And layers are everything in the winter. It’s not just about staying warm, it’s about creating an outfit that reveals more the closer someone looks.

A copper trench, on the other hand, lends itself beautifully to a figure-hugging silhouette. You can pair it with a fitted dress underneath, something that compliments the metallic glow of the copper, or even better, contrast it with deep jewel tones. Think a sapphire blue dress peeking out from the open coat. It’s luxurious, it’s striking, and trust me, people will stop to ask you where you got it.

Like Serena Williams’s trend a body shaper underneath.

Leather Boots

Speaking of accessories, let’s not forget about the shoes. I know we’re all thinking boots for winter, and yes, boots are divine, but why not shake things up? A sleek pair of heeled ankle boots in patent leather would be the ultimate pairing with your emerald or copper trench. For emerald, I’d opt for a chocolate brown or even a deep plum-colored boot. For copper? You’ve got to go bold. Try burnt orange or mustard yellow boots to really make that copper pop. Don’t be shy, darling – winter is no time for subtlety.

And what’s a winter look without a hat? Yes, I am all about the matching bucket hat trend this season. An emerald trench with an emerald bucket hat? Honey, you’ll be a walking masterpiece. The bucket hat gives a playful nod to the 90s but brings it back with a modern edge. For copper, I love a beret. A simple copper beret adds a touch of French chic to your look, as if you’ve just strolled out of a Parisian café with a croissant in one hand and a Chanel handbag in the other. Who wouldn’t want that vibe?

Handbags

Oh, and speaking of handbags, I beg you to avoid black. It’s predictable. With an emerald or copper trench, you need to complement your look, not hide it. Go for something textured, maybe a crocodile leather clutch in a bold color – perhaps forest green or rust. You could even be extra daring and carry a metallic purse that mirrors the shimmer of your trench coat. After all, it’s about creating a cohesive, luxurious look that makes you feel like a million dollars, even if you’re just grabbing a coffee.

Now, don’t think for a second that these colors are hard to pull off. They suit just about everyone. Emerald and copper aren’t just for the runway; they’re for the everyday fashionista. Emerald brings out the depth in darker skin tones and adds richness to lighter complexions. Copper, with its warm, fiery undertones, is a brilliant way to add a little heat to the chilly winter months. So don’t be afraid to experiment with these bold hues.

When I walk down the street in my emerald trench, I don’t just feel warm. I feel invincible. It’s like wearing confidence. It’s knowing that you’ve taken a classic staple and turned it into something so you, so utterly fabulous, that people can’t help but notice. And isn’t that what fashion is all about? Making a statement, standing out, and feeling like the best version of yourself?

So, this winter, I urge you – ditch the black and beige. Embrace the luxury, the richness, the opulence of emerald green and copper. Go out there and show winter who’s boss. Trust me, darling, you’ll be the brightest star on the chilliest day.
