Falling for these new takes on the classic trench coat

They've got buttons and belts but that's where the 'same old' stops

Am I the only person in Canada ready for the weather to cool down (only slightly) so I can bust out my coat collection? Probably. Still, if there's one thing my wardrobe doesn't need, it's another coat. I officially have a problem, and it's real now because it's in writing...on the internet. But here's the real issue - there are so many gorgeous new styles this fall (quilted, belted and patent, oh my!)  and there's no way I'm going an entire season without buying at least one of each. So outerwear rehab will have to wait.

Since it's not time for parkas just yet, I'm starting with the classic trench.... This year, it comes with a twist: updated with bolder fabrics, pops of colour, playful patterns, silkier vibes, and we're loving them all!

Bring out your inner animal and get ready to turn heads with this purrrrfect trench. As cool as it looks with ripped denim, it can add style over a demure pantsuit too.
