The trench of course!

It's a timeless look.

 This spring we suggest hip length or just below

If you are one of the lucky ladies with a small waist, cinch away and put it on display.






If you are voluptuous with ample bosom be wary of the double breasted styles. Single breasted styles are preferable.

 Trenches are great for business looks, casual looks and even evening looks depending on the fabric.

Keep it simple and be simply chic.
