Seriously–in the right setting, a trench coat can totally work as daytime dress. With a few clever styling tricks, you can turn it into a chic midi dress!
First things first — don’t choose to wear your trench as a dress when you’re in a situation that might get hot and uncomfortable–events that are mostly outdoors are best.
Length is important too, if it’s too long, it’ll still look like a coat; too short, and you’ll risk overexposure. It should graze your fingertips when you put your arms down at your sides.
Then accessorize to make your trench look more like a dress and less like a coat — cinch your waist more tightly and define your shape.
Then add shoes that match or look sophisticated with your handbag (this will create continuity and make it look more like “an outfit,” pile on some sassy jewelry, and watch the compliments come rolling in.
