It has taken me about three years to find a trench coat that didn’t make me feel slightly tense.
I’ve always been on the fence about the whole thing, if I’m honest. Are they a wardrobe essential that everyone needs to own? It’s always worth questioning the wisdom of so-called “classic” pieces — see also white shirts (never met one that didn’t make me feel like I needed to pair it with a grosgrain edged blazer and go to school in 1989).
