Closet Staples 2: The Trench

girl about t.o. canada (Jan.27.10)    


Two weeks ago I wrote about cleaning closet (and adding in some staples).

First up was pencil skirts (and three that I think are awesome) and this week, thanks to some helpful comments, I'm tackling trenches.

(If you're in need of a refresher, I'm trying to better assess my wardrobe and see what staple pieces are missing in order to streamline my stuff and clean out some clutter.)

And while I'm not starting a purchasing spree just yet, I think amassing some inspiration is a (hopefully mutually) beneficial experiment.

So on to trench coats:
(Enough of a classic that Burberry even launched Art of the Trench to celebrate it)
T Tahari Rafael Coat at The Bay, Zara Coat, a cropped choice from H&M

This cross-section is representative of varying price points and variations on the classic style so feels like a good place to start my search.

Next up, I'm thinking it's time I add a button-up blouse.

Any other wardrobe staples you think I should explore?
