Lipstick Lifestyle

It’s those in between weather periods when a wardrobe can make or break your morning. As spring turns to summer, or for those days when you can’t imagine where summer has decided to hide (oh Mother Nature please bring back the sun!) a lightweight coat is absolutely a girl’s best friend, whether you’re running to catch the bus or a flight. Since the trench coat has masculine origins, it’s worth it to search for this menswear staple with a girlie edge such as allowances for curves – if it can make you coo with excitement in the store, you’re on the right track.

Check out Banana Republic’s stylish cotton puff-sleeve trench coat. With its feminine bell-shaped sleeve that ends at the elbow with a gathered button detail, you can show off your newly acquired bracelets and summer handbag easily. Boasting a rounded collar and tortoiseshell buttons, this mid-thigh length trench has front pockets, a hanging yoke on the back and vented back. This relax fit trench coat is the perfect topper on those days when rain clouds threaten. Available in three colours (carnation pink, stone gray, black) and sizes XS-XL.
