There are lots of ill-fitting trench coats around and that’s probably why you feel this way Stephanie. A trench on your body type can look great if it’s correctly tailored, single-breasted and the belt loops are in the correct place. It’s all about the cut of the garment.

Okay, I’m a bit baffled, because this seems like it would work much better than those hideous waist-tied trenchcoat that makes this hourglass figure look like a stuffed sausage….

I looked at this type of coat in a Victoria’s Secret catalogue today. I’ve always wondered who could wear that coat. It looks interesting kind of. I’m very small so obviously not me.

This is what I struggle with the most: trying to elongate my torso without putting emphasis on my hips. Drop waist styles used to look good on me because they made me less short-waisted, and since I had narrow hips, I could easily pull them off. Now not so much. It’s so hard to know how to dress when you realize your body isn’t the same as it was 5 years ago!

I really love this look, but I’m not sure where to look for it. Where did you find these? Any recommendations?
