Thursday Trend: Colorful Trenches

04/04/13 | Burberry, Kate Spade, Thursday Trend, Uniqlo

I am a firm believer in the old adage April Showers bring May Flowers and if this is true we have another few weeks of rain before it gets warm and what better way to accessorize than with a color trench coat? I believe that a non-traditional color of something depends what you are talking about and with regards to trenches, to me, any color besides the traditional camel and black counts as non-traditional and colorful which is why you will see “neutrals” in my choices but whites and metallics are not neutrals in this must have conver up.

If you are going to take the deep dive into a true investment piece I only have one suggestion – the BURBERRY LONDON Trench – the colors are breathtaking and the quality is undeniable:

BURBERRY LONDON Trench
Optic White/ Military Red / Metallic Silver / Pale Petrol Blue / Burnt Orange

If you can truly afford a Burberry coat please read no further but I can confidently say at least 95% of my readers cannot or would not buy this coat so here are my six favorite colorful trenches for spring at much more reasonable price points: 

One.  Delia*s    Two.  She Inside    Three. Uniqlo
Four. Nic + Zoe Five. Episode Six. Jaeger

Do you wear trench coats in April?  Is yours in a colorful material?

    Ahh I wish I could afford a colorful Burberry trench, but I can’t! So glad you realize that even though I LOVE that Pale Petrol Blue, that Rose Red #2 trench that you picked out would be much more me. Great choices!! Happy Friday!!

    I adore these! I bought one that is green and black (though, I swore it was navy). It kinda has a nautical flair to it, making it perfect for spring 🙂
    These are awesome… I might need to get another!!
