Red Trench Coats - I'm Torn!

Red Trench Coats - i'm torn! Posted 28 January 2007
I am thinking of investing in a lightweight red trench coat, to the knee in length. Now I'm wondering if it would be worth it: would it last beyond this season or is it better to go for something more classic?

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. :wink:

I am incredibly oblivious to andquot;trendsandquot; but I have been seeing red trenches everywhere...


I think its a bit of a grey area :lol:

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... :smile: :smile:

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!

I don't think you can go wrong with a beige or black one...they can be both dressed up and down :smile:


I worry that you might get sick of red after one season :smile: If you're planning to invest in a trench...go the neutral colour and there will be no regrets.

I think if you are ready to make the investment go to the purveyor of Trench Coats
get a classic Burberry Trench I have had mine for over 10 years and still going strong
