Whether worn for elegance, like Charlize Theron, to wrap up warm to go to the shops, like Kate Hudson, or to put it over a formal outfit for a slightly more laid-back approach, like Alexa Chung, this coat is perfect for all occasions.
Now, I have been after one for a while, but they tend to be a little pricey, and being a student, not quite in my budget! So, another thing worth knowing about me is my love of ebay. I swear by it, use it all the time, and have learnt that, if you are careful, you can find some real bargains! It was here that last week I found my trench coat..
Perfect, isn't it? It's from Next, brand new, and will have been worth..what, £40-50? I got it for £10. Bargain. Made my day...no, wait, my life. It's fantastic. I've already worn it over high-waisted shorts, a top and pumps, for a laid back yet stylish approach.. As we go deeper and deeper into winter and those cold days, I have to say I shall most definitely be copying Miss Hudson's approach, and shall be wrapping up with jumpers, gloves and boots, throwing this coat on on top to complete.
However, for those of you who aren't lucky enough to find anything on ebay, here are a few of my favourites on the market, for a variety of prices...:
1. Stone Crop Belted Mac, Miss Selfridge £55, 2. Neutral Pleat Detail Mac, Next £65, 3. Piped Detail Mac, Warehouse £80, 4. MACS Mac, French Connection £225
A trench coat? Perfect for any wardrobe, and a style worth stealing.
