Spring Trench Coats

Its time to say bye-bye to your wool jackets and say hello to chic trench coats! Though the sun is shinning, there’s still a slight chill, time for something that’s light weight, stylish and versatile. Springs trench coats are just what the Dr. ordered, perfect with any outfit weather dressed up or casual.

There’s a great selection including long to cropped length styles with full length to ¾ sleeves, double breasted, single breasted, and belted/tie waists.

The best light weight fabric coats come in comfy cotton/polyester blends and lush linens. As far as colors go, my suggestion is to stay with classic colors such as tan, white, and black. There are vibrant colors and prints available this season, but these tend to limit your use of the piece.

Here are my favorite picks for Spring 2010. All of which have great detailing and silhouettes, with picks that range from high end to affordable. Take a look!
