Trench Take Two : Evening

Outfit: Trench Coat - Zara; Lace Skirt- H&M; Bag, heels, vest - Primark; Hairband - Urban Outfitters



After being inspired by the timeless styling of Audrey Hepburn's trench coat in yesterday's post, I decided to follow suit for my evening trench outfit in an attempt to radiate even a sliver of Hepburn's elegance. I donned a beehive hairdo (actually easier to do than I thought it would be) and liquid winged eyeliner, along with a skater shaped lace skirt, black vest and sequined hairband. The colour scheme of black and beige ensures this classic remains the central piece of the outfit.

Top Trench Moment

I'm sure that many of you have a 'Top Trench Moment', whether it be in a magazine or film. For me, this moment is in 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'. When Hepburn chooses to wear a trench to dash out in the rain, it not only makes us long for her elegance when all sodden and wet, but displays the longevity of the piece. Even today, the style and outfits in this film are revered and continually re-created, displaying maybe one of the only truths in fashion - classics never date.
What's your 'Top Trench Moment'?
