Okay, so, let’s talk about this black trench coat I’ve been messing around with. It’s been a journey, let me tell you.
First off, I grabbed this classic black trench coat. It’s one of those long, belted ones that just screams “I’m stylish but also practical.” You know the type. I wore it around the house for a day, just to get a feel for it. My cat seemed to approve, she kept rubbing against the hem.
Experimenting with Different Styles
The real fun began when I started playing around with different outfits. I remember reading somewhere that you shouldn’t wear a dress or skirt that’s the same length as the trench, so I made a mental note of that.
- Jeans and Boots Combo: I paired the coat with some skinny jeans and ankle boots. It was a good look, pretty classic. I tried both black and blue jeans, and honestly, both worked. The boots were nothing special, just some basic black leather ones I’ve had for ages.
- Sneaker Attempt: Then I got adventurous and tried it with sneakers. I threw on a black top, some black skinny jeans, and my trusty black sneakers. It was alright, a bit more casual, but I wasn’t completely sold. I even added a silk scarf with some print on it, but it still felt a bit off.
- Office Look: Next, I aimed for a more “office-ready” vibe. I found a black turtleneck in my closet and wore it with some dark blue pants. I even dug out my oversized sunglasses to complete the look. It felt pretty chic, I must say. My reflection gave me a thumbs up.
- Hoodie Experiment: I also tried something a bit out there – I layered the trench over a cropped black hoodie and some mom jeans. This was a total experiment. I added some mirrored sunglasses and these funky pastel blue heeled boots with laces. It was definitely a statement. My dog barked at me when he saw me, so that might have been a sign.
Final Thoughts
After all this, I’ve realized the black trench coat is way more versatile than I initially thought. It can be dressed up or down, and it really does go with a lot of things. But the accessories definitely make a difference. I saw someone suggest adding a scarf or a flat cap, which I think I’ll try next. I used to wear flat caps all the time when I was younger. It was quite a fashion, and we were all crazy about it. All in all, it’s been a fun little style adventure. I might even start a whole series on this, who knows? The weather is nice, so it should be fun to take some pictures.
Anyway, that’s my black trench coat story for now. Hope you enjoyed my ramblings!
