The classic trench coat is a staple and by the time you are 30 you really need to have one.  It is versatile and just as chic with a brenton tee, jeans and ballet flats as it is with a white button down shirt and black pants.  This is a coat that works for any lifestyle whether you are a stay at home worker or climbing the corporate ladder.  This is an investment piece so buy the best quality you can afford and don't forget resale shops, they can allow you to purchase the iconic Burberry trench at a price you can afford.  They say the Parisian woman would wear their trench with nothing underneath it as a dress. She would rather do that then to not have this iconic coat.  Throw it over your shoulders for that fashion editor look or over your workout clothes to hide them and look chic as you run in to grab a few groceries.
