Fall in Washington, D.C. can mean 70 degrees and sunny one day and 42 and rainy the next. That's why the stylish Washington woman who is always prepared will have a classic trench coat in her repertoire.
Here are a few recommendations that will suit any style, any budget and any occasion:
Merona Military Trench from Target - $39.99 – This trench is a classic military style complete with button-up straight neckline and shoulder epaulettes. Try it in winter white to carry you through to spring time.
London Fog Belted Trench from Nordstom - $138 (single breasted) or $178 (double breasted) – Without a doubt, London Fog is the brand for rainwear attire. Their new campaign featuring Tony Parker and Eva Longoria shows that rainy weather can be steamy. Try the black double-breasted for a sophisticated look or the classic single-breast in khaki.
The Shimmer Trench by Burberry - $1,395 – Of course what conversation about trench coats would be complete without a nod to Burberry. Though this black and charcoal plaid will set you back a few clams, it’s well worth having the brand’s signature look that will never, ever go out of style.
