If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.

It will be a statement piece, definitely. I guess it depends on your colouring, and also what sort of fabric the trench is made from.
ETA: I think it would look most flattering on a tall, willowly sort of figure. On a petite girl (like me) it would just be too much red.
On the other hand, red peacoats are really cute and easier to wear in general.

I am incredibly oblivious to andquot;trendsandquot; but I have been seeing red trenches everywhere...
I think its a bit of a grey area

The best of America drifts to Paris. The American in Paris is the best American. It is more fun for an intelligent person to live in an intelligent country. France has the only two things toward which we drift as we grow older—intelligence and good manners.

I saw a girl (maybe a voguette??) wearing a red trench (double breasted or peacoat style) with a pair of jeans on the tram this morning and a pair of pointies...and she looks really stylish and so sophisticated...
Quarrels in France strengthen a love affair, in America they end it.

it really depends on whether you are a 'red' person. Even b4 the whole 'trench coat' thing, i would see girls wearing knee-length red coats (usually structured and warm ones) over suits, or with jeans etc as a 'statement' piece.
If that look suits you, go for it!

And trade is art, and art’s philosophy, in Paris.

I don't think you can go wrong with a beige or black one...they can be both dressed up and down
I worry that you might get sick of red after one season If you're planning to invest in a trench...go the neutral colour and there will be no regrets.
