I know, I know, I’m not quite ready to accept it either, but there’s no getting away from the fact that coat season is on the horizon — at least, in their most lightweight iterations. In line with the change of seasons and the breezy (and more often than not, rainy) days that come with it, back into the depths of our wardrobe we head, reaching for our barn jackets, parkas and, of course, our trusty trench coats.
To some, this may be a joyful moment after one too many hot sunny days; however, as a self-proclaimed sun worshipper, I’m always a little reluctant to embrace the switchover until I truly have to. That was until I spotted a new coat trend cropping up in recent weeks, and I’ll be honest, this one's so good even I found myself adding a few to my basket ahead of the new season’s arrival. Trust me, if you want to look chic this autumn, a checked trench coat is the way to do it.
