Answer Me Chic: Trench Coat, Not Lab Coat
April 10, 2012 in Fashion
We put the call out to our lovely Twitter followers to solve any fashion challenge they might have and Katie of Mumma On The Run quickly replied:
“I have a white trench coat which I have no idea how to wear without looking like I work in a lab!! Help!!”
Once we said that we could help, Jaclyn then chimed in with a similar sentiment:
“Yes please! I also have a white trench that has been sitting in my wardrobe for 2+ years and has been worn once.”
OK girls, time to pull out those white trench coats cos here are three ways to look super chic and not super geek…
Michael Kors Trench from Amazon – $110.00
Outfit 1: Weekend Casual
This outfit is perfect for the weekend, when you are grabbing a much needed coffee, catching up for brunch with a fabulous friend or giving your little one ”just one more push” on the swings.
1. Cheap Monday Sunglasses from The Iconic – $50.00
2. Ivys Knit Scarf from Birdsnest – $20.95 (on sale)
3. Betty Basics Top from Birdsnest – $22.95
4. Billie Shoes ‘Poppy’ from SurfStitch – $29.95
5. Jag Mid Rise Boot Jean – $99.95
Outfit 2: Date Night
Time to glam up that trench with a knock out date night look. Keep it all black with accents of metallic to really take it to another level. The beauty of this outfit is that the dress can be worn with or without the skinny pants (weather and spray tan dependant). Va-va-voom!!

2. Mimco ‘Reverie Armour’ Necklace – $249.00

Outfit 3: Corporate Chic
Finally, we’ve got a great look for the office. Tailored pants and pussy bow blouse go together perfectly just like you and your Monday morning coffee. Add a ladylike suede heel and a fab bag, and you mean business lady!!
1. Forever New ‘Adelaide’ Blouse – $59.99
2. Wittner ‘Jagged’ Heels – $129.95
3. Witchery ‘Sateen’ Full Length Pant – $129.95

5. Kate Hill ‘Rikki’ Leather Tote Bag – $99.95 (on sale)
So there you have it ladies, three different looks that all work back with a white trench coat.

Stay Chic,
