Classically Chic

No one's a stranger to rain, as this summer has proven to be one of the wettest. Getting caught in a surprise thunder storm can leave a girl looking like a drowned rat! Prepare yourself for these occasions by sporting a classic trench coat. It's the go-to of rainy weather jackets, and will transition nicely through the seasons. Of course, dropping hundreds on a Burberry coat is not quite possible but there are plenty of more economical options. The Old Navy coat pictured is a no-frills version of the trench for only $49.50. If it's not the perfect fit, you can always get it tailored and then it will be as if it were custom made. Throw it on top of a floral dress for summer and layer it with thin-knit sweaters for fall and this purchase will tie your look together whether rain or shine.
