Picture this; you’ve meticulously styled and coiffed your hair and woken up early to pull off the perfect winged eyeliner, only to step outside and be rained out – instantly dampening your style and your spirits.
So, the investment of a stylish rain jacket – and particularly a timeless trench coat – that can protect you from drizzle without raining on your style, is a worthy one.
The trench coat is a classic silhouette. Available in a number of colourways such as the traditional camel to a blinding white that feels luxurious, the options are truly endless.
