Have you ever really wanted a trench coat but were unsure if it would suit you or not? Well I'm about to settle your fears!
My opinion? Just do it. Trench coats are excellent spring jackets: they're lightweight and depending on the colour of jacket you choose to buy, they go really well with most outfits. Trenches can make jeans look fancy.
How to Pick Out the Right Trench Coat
How to Pick Out the Right Trench Coat
If you're the outdoorsy type, make sure to find a hardy, rainproof trench such as this one from Eddie Bauer. A dark colour is also recommended if you do a lot of outdoor activities, because it doesn't show dirt as much as a lighter colour. :-)

It's always a good idea for petites to accentuate their legs and give the image of an extra couple inches to their length. That's why it makes sense when it comes to trench coats, to pick a shorter coat that ends well above the knees. A jacket like this one from London Fog would be a great choice.

Finally if you're an average or even tall height and just like fashion (like me), you can choose a coat with a longer length (that still ends above the knee) either with a belt or without a belt. A great example of a belted trench coat would be the "classic trench" from the Gap on the right. Or, if you're looking for a trench coat sans the belt like mine above, check out Zara, or even the "outdoorsy" coat I mentioned before.
