Stylists are always saying the trench coat is a fashion basic that should be in every woman’s wardrobe. For many years I tried and just couldn’t find one that fit my style. They felt too contrived, too rigid and spy-like, somehow. But this more relaxed, oversized current style suits me, and I love the really long and really cropped styles that are so popular now! That’s what inspired me to create our Prado Trench Coat sewing pattern, too.
Let’s look to see how the trench coat has been worn by celebrities both now and then, shall we? Maybe you’ll find a little inspiration for your own mood board!
Whether worn open or closed, with dressy or casual clothing, it really is a basic that can be worn so many ways. I hope you’ll find lots of ways to wear yours, too!
