Surprisingly Versatile: 1 Trench Coat, 5 Chic Ways to Wear It

Brittney Stephens — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 08:01:11 PST

Trench coats: they're cool and classic and lend a polished vibe to your look - no matter what you happen to be wearing underneath. The sleek silhouette calls to mind fashion icons like Jackie O., Katharine Hepburn, or Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca (who can forget her trench coat flapping in the breeze?). We've seen lots of cool spins on the timeless trench this season, from Burberry's leather sleeves and acid-bright hues to Diane von Furstenberg's cropped, nylon iterations - and the best thing about the style is that it comes in multiseasonal fabrications and colors, making it an appropriate choice for any occasion. We've taken one definitively classic Burberry London Marystow Gabardine Trench ($1,095) and styled it five different ways - for work, play, and everything in between.

We're thrilled to present our favorite InStyle story here on Fab!

There's never been a better time to invest in a Burberry trench coat. The brand is introducing an online bespoke service early next year, WWD explains, that will allow shoppers to customize the iconic coats to their individual likings with studs, monograms, color combos, etc. So you can mimic Rachel Bilson's, Blake Lively's, or Kate Bosworth's Burberry picks - or simply dream a design on your own! In fact, Burberry's Chief Creative Director Christopher Bailey explains, "there will be more than 12 million options." That should satisfy even the most selective of customers!

How Would YOU Wear It? Katie Holmes

FabSugar — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 03:00:33 PST

I'm hesitant to diss Katie Holmes' style because I am of the camp that thinks her fashion sense has grown leaps and bounds post Tom Cruise. That said, simply put, she sometimes dresses too old for her age.

We get it, she has an older man to keep up with, but that doesn't mean she has to dress his age. Here she's wearing something a Glam Ma would wear on Christmas morning. I appreciate the color scheme but I would have worn a shorter satin trench (belted!), a V-neck top, black patent pumps, and perhaps a black belt. Besides, it's way too cold for her long, skinny toes to be creeping out.

How would YOU wear it?

Trend Alert: In the Trenches

FabSugar — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 14:00:22 PDT

One piece of outerwear you will find in every fashion professional's closet is a trench. The trench has been around for ions - and is functional fashion at its best. First created by Thomas Burberry for the British army officers in World War I, the garment kept the troops warm and dry in the trenches. This coat continues to serve people well in the trenches, with it's ability to be both glamorous and serviceable. With so many incarnations throughout time, most notably by Yves Saint Laurent and Jean Paul Gaultier, the design has barely changed. If you don't have a Fab trench by now, now is the time to take the plunge.

Online Sale Alert! Save at Bebe!

FabSugar — Tue, 18 Sep 2007 05:00:33 PDT

What's a plentiful Fall wardrobe without a classic trench? Seriously lacking, that's what. Trench coats never go out of style, and they're great when not-so-nice weather comes along, as it likes to do around this time of year.

So when a trench goes on sale, like this Bebe Flared Short-Sleeve Trench Coat, $77 (originally $119), I jump at the opportunity. It's part of a wider Bebe Sale, so if you're not convinced with my trench coat bit, go for the platform sandals or the ruffled dresses.

Bebe is excellent for fast fashion, don't forget, so just make sure you get there fast!
