An Ode to the Trench Coat
Ode to the Trench Coat
Oh, timeless coat of whispered grace,
From battlefields to streets you trace,
Your silhouette, so bold, refined,
A masterpiece, through rain or shine.
From battlefields to streets you trace,
Your silhouette, so bold, refined,
A masterpiece, through rain or shine.
Beneath your folds, the world’s embrace,
The double-breast, a steady place,
To shield from storms, or gusts of wind,
And yet in style, you never bend.
The double-breast, a steady place,
To shield from storms, or gusts of wind,
And yet in style, you never bend.
A belt to cinch, a collar high,
You glide through seasons, never shy,
In beige or black, you make your mark,
A symbol glowing through the dark.
You glide through seasons, never shy,
In beige or black, you make your mark,
A symbol glowing through the dark.
While trends may fade and colors shift,
You stand as fashion’s timeless gift.
Oh, trench coat, ever strong and true,
In every era, we turn to you.

Deborah just returned from Europe for some work & play, and the Paris dispatch is that EVERY ONE was wearing a trench coat.
There’s something undeniably timeless about a trench coat. From its military roots to its rise as a fashion staple, the trench coat is more than just outerwear— it's a symbol of sophistication. Whether draped over the shoulders of film noir detectives or styled effortlessly on city streets, this coat has weathered trends, proving its longevity. The structured silhouette, belted waist, and crisp collar create an iconic look that transitions seamlessly from day to night, rain or shine.
But beyond its chic appeal, the trench coat is also deeply practical. Designed to brave unpredictable weather, its water-resistant fabric and double-breasted front provide both style and protection. It’s a piece that feels luxurious yet remains accessible, grounding any outfit in elegance. In a world of fast fashion, the trench coat stands as a reminder that true style doesn’t fade— it evolves, but never goes out of fashion.
PS.
Maybe not just yet, but bundling-up will so be a must. Do you go with a double-breasted wool coat or a classic puffer? Are you into a bold, statement leather jacket, or are you more of a neutral-sweater person? Whatever you’re looking for, we probably have it— and excel at having the thing you didn’t know you needed ;-)
