Classic coat shapes return to the high street rails every Winter season, providing a great variety of choice for those of us looking for vintage inspiration. Taking a perennial favourite and adding a twist is this Cord Trench Coat from Monsoon.
The coat's structure is faultlessly retro, taking a traditional trench shape with added flaring and a larger lapel. Combined with the navy corduroy fabric, the result is an immediately seventies-look version of the trench coat, with the colours, textures and styling of the decade working together.
It's available now from Monsoon for £80.
But if you’re any bigger than a size 12, it will make you look like the back of a bus. The flare from the waist is surprisingly big… I know. I’ve tried it on and had my heart broken 🙁
