Trench Coat and Safari Styles For Spring
When spring comes the rain starts to fall and that is when we start to see trench coats coming back into demand. Spring 2009 promises the public all kinds of very interesting trench coat designs.
For instance Juicy Couture is offering stretch cotton trench coats in a vivid pink. This style is very “Georgy Girl.” It is knee length and features bug buttons and buckles on the slightly shorter cuffs. The collar is also round and the double breasted coat also boasts epaulets.
Is there anything sexier than a white trench coat? It is so Catherine Denenuve. You can get a white trench coat from the company Rock and Republic that is all white and boasts the belted cuffs and a very sharp looking oversized collar. A belt with gold details cinches in the waist.
For a more demure military look, kind of like the look that the Rock band the Psychedelic furs used to wear try on the Cotton polyurethane trench coat by Cinzia Rocca which sells for about eight hundred dollars at Saks Fifth Avenue. It is a stormy grey blue color and comes just above the knee.
A more deconstructed version of the trenchcoat is offered by the design house of Chanel for Spring 2009. This particular coat has a skirt made out of ridged strips of fabric with fringes, very narrow sleeves and more suit like top. There are epaulets on the shoulders, buckles on the sleeves and broad pockets with fold over flaps over the bosom. The coat is a soft ivory white and it is cinched in at the waist by a turquoise black and gold square shaped belt buckle.
That bright electric blue is also going to show up in trenchcoats this season. Burberry is marketing a very vivid knee length version of one with black piping on the pockets and huge black buttons on it.
That distortion of the trench coat, the safari jacket is also making a comeback for spring. Sleeveless safari style vests are making a comeback, particularly in the bone white colors. Banana republic makes an affordable version of a safari style cotton vest that is only $130.00. It looks best cinched with a brown leather belt.
Nicole Miller makes a beautiful version of a Safari Jacket that is military in style. It is a four pocket leather jacket in a very soft mushroom color and it has a turquoise lining. It is the kind of jacket that goes with anything but it costs $1,170.
You don’t have to despair if you cannot afford these high prices. They will be immediately available to you as knock offs in every store imaginable including Walmart, Smart Set and the other big chains. Furthermore the designs you see on runways tend to be more practical then the ones you see elsewhere.
