The principle is universal and applies to all coats:if you are short, avoid the length. Whatever shoes you pair it with, a trench coat that is too long will always tend to pack you down. Instead, bet on the lengths above the knee, which lengthen the legs without cutting the silhouette. Just above or mid-thigh, the rest is a matter of taste! A principle that also applies to men, by the way...
If the little ones wear short, the big ones prefer the long one? The answer is much simpler, the big ones can afford everything! Long trench coat up to the knees, even brushing the calves, or short model at mid-thigh:choose according to your tastes, your outfit or the climatic requirements, rather than your size. If you are slender and want to break the impression of height, on the other hand, bet without complexes on the trench coats at the knee, which cut the silhouette. Better, belt to create an additional horizontal!
For voluptuous silhouettes, favor lengths mid-thigh or just above the knees. Choose a belted trench coat to enhance your curves, the absolute weapon of the feminine trench coat, keeping in mind a size detail:once belted, your trench coat will be a good ten centimeters shorter! Take care to close and belt the coat to choose its length, regardless of the result without a belt...
As a general rule, the long trench goes best with pants, the short trench with skirts. If each rule has its exceptions, take it into account anyway to choose your trench length! Do you spend the week in cigarette pants, the weekend in boyfriend jeans and your evenings in black skinny jeans? Prefer a knee or calf length coat, or even just above the knee for smaller sizes. Do you work in a pencil skirt, dare the mini in the evening and love petticoats for the weekend? No need to hide your legs or pack the silhouette with long, prefer a mid-thigh length trench or just below the buttocks.
The trench coat is the ideal coat for rainy weather. It all depends, however, on the type of rain! If you want to invest in a good mid-season coat, capable of withstanding drizzle, sleet and deluge, opt for long models. The shorter the coat, the larger the parts exposed to the weather. A knee or calf length trench will also keep you warmer, especially if it is lined. Do you live in a region with a windy climate, but not necessarily rainy? A shorter trench coat will protect you from light rain, without flying and hampering your movements under the onslaught of the wind...
