The trench coat is a wardrobe essential, and for good reason:like the jacket, it is military-inspired and remains unbeatable. Just know when to wear it! Designed to protect soldiers from the harsh climatic conditions of the trenches, the trench is above all a rain coat. Results ? Even the lightest do not adapt well to a sunny day! Reserve your favorite trench coat for the shoulder, spring and fall seasons, but don't count on it to keep you warm in the winter or airy in the summer.
In terms of looks, the trench can be adapted to most styles. Combined with jeans, it follows you all weekend. Slipped over a work outfit, it ensures a professional and modern silhouette. It can even protect your formal evenings or romantic dinners, provided you choose it well!
Bomber, aviator, jeans, biker… The jacket is also a closet legend. Unlike the trench, on the other hand, it is designed above all to protect against the cold, without hindering the lower body... An advantage for bikers and aviators, much less for shopping in winter! Reserve the jacket for mid-season, or even the beginning and end of the cold season, if you have chosen a warm, lined and/or quilted model.

Many jackets do not like the rain well, and those that are treated only protect up to the waist. On drizzly days, prefer the trench coat.

Choose it for your evenings and casual days. Skip it, however, if your job requires a dress code or you're spending the evening at the opera.
