I have a friend whom I rarely see and with whom I always laugh a lot. One of her hobbies is to think of how to turn a cliché into a fashionable saying. The most famous one is: «you go all out», What does it say to you when you wear a trench coat? It came to my mind and I put it in the headline when I saw that this week’s celebrities have been keeping warm during the hours of the day when temperatures drop with this garment.

The Fall/Winter 2024 shows say capes are more on trend than raincoats (106 results vs. 268, according to tag-walk.com), but it must be admitted that The trench coat is a wardrobe gem for the mid-season and with permission from the cardigan, which is also coming on strong.

You just have to look at Angelina Jolie and her time at the Venice Film Festival, where she wore a short-sleeved trench coat on occasions when she didn’t wear long-sleeved dresses on the red carpet. The Dior brand and, as fashion editors say, she has a very ‘Old Hollywood’what the rest of us call classic elegance. In addition, it has proven to be the star garment for color and shape in midi skirt silhouettes and also flare pants (the classic bell-bottoms).

The case of Brooke Shields It is similar to that of Angelinaas it sticks to classic shapes and colors. Perhaps too formal and with less stylistic filigree than the previous one, but it is a safe bet for the long term. The star of ‘The Blue Lagoon’ shows it at the entrance to the fashion show Tommy Hilfigerheld a few days ago in New York.

These types of garments, worn by the aforementioned actresses, are the ones that recommend to those aged 50. For those in their 30s and 40s, however, trend experts suggest something similar to Dakota Johnson’s trench coat, which is indie, millennial-style: oversized, longer than midi and fitted at the waist. It’s also a good design for a wardrobe staple, although its shape is more sensitive to the trends of the coming years.

The latest actress who dresses and lives in a trench coat is Sienna Miller. As a good Englishwoman, she is a big fan of the trench coat and this one she is wearing is from Victoria Beckham’s collaboration for Mango. A more boho design, timeless and difficult to classify in a specific decade, so it is perfect for those who do not see themselves pigeonholed in any age. In addition, it is accompanied by two other wardrobe classics: jeans and cowgirl boots. Since there is no trace left of the aforementioned collection, I recommend one of the classic models from the Spanish brand that are now on sale on the website. Pay no attention to the model’s dazed pose. You know, these are pictures of illustrated fashionism that will surely give @mciatica something to talk about and make us laugh.
