But if Spring decides to show up, a trench dress is a great transition piece that will take you from one season to the next.
They look polished and business-y but can be fun in a bright color or with bold accessories like a neon necklace.
One thing that you should remember when wearing a trench dress is that it is NOT a coat and that you really shouldn't take it off.
Sometimes, you look down and see those big trench buttons and you're like "I'm indoors! Time to strip down." But in a trench dress, that is a bad idea. Because it's your dress. And you will be showing everyone your underwear.
Here are some great trench dresses from ASOS:
This one is a bright loud color but made from cotton twill which is a traditional, non-shiny fabric so it isn't too over the top.
This one really cinches the waist and makes you look skinny.
The broad shoulders echo the A line skirt and make you into a real hourglass.
You have to have the right skin tone to wear this color (and I don't know what tone that might be so don't ask me), but the shape is cute and the little pleated dropped waist skirt is very feminine.
This has sharp pleats on its long skirt. It's kind of cheating because this can be worn as a coat, but I would prefer it as a dress with nothing underneath.
This one doesn't have any lapels, so it seems more like a dress and less like a coat, but those pockets and buttons and the waist tie are still strong reminders of the trench it was based on.
This one has a looser shape and is more mod looking. Make sure you wear it with bare legs or thin stockings so the shape doesn't make you into a blob.
