Each year fall rolls around and the weather gets too cool for our summer dresses and flip flops, It is now time to break out the fall staples and lightweight jackets. Let’s face it; sometimes we don’t know where to start when it comes to shopping for fall clothing. The key is to start with the basics; jeans, tops, boots and jackets. And what could be more autumn ready then a flattering new trench coat?
Once you have established that the trench should be at the top of your “to buy” list this year, the question of what brand and style to purchase may follow. Does a high-end brand that is a little on the pricier side come to mind, or are you looking to save a few pennies? Below are a number of current trench coats ranging from high-end brand names to lower price points. Which one belongs in your closet?
Let’s start with a classic. This Burberry trench is the perfect staple piece for the fall season; the neutral color and timeless silhouette offer a great look to match any outfit with ease.
