Burberry Prorsum Cotton Trench Coat

Given the season upon us, every fashionista needs a cute, fun, flattering yet functional jacket to add to her wardrobe.  Picking the right fit/color of outerwear is a tedious yet important decision...it must hug the right places, while also be forgiving in others. 


The classic trench style is always a guaranteed hit, also a fashion staple that every woman should own...as long as it isn't too long or short; and if the hardware on the coat is overwhelming or bulky you will look heavier and much like a walking hardware store. 


Try, instead, a classic trench coat style such as Burberry's Prorsum cotton trench with an eight-button double breasted placket closure, complete with the brand's trademark "Burberry check" inside.  The buttons aren't flashy or shiny, so the amount of buttons is ok (yet if they were flashy, I'd stick with 4 or less).  Also the self-tie belt can be adjusted to fit the syle you're going for on any particular day, and this perfect length hits mid-thigh and is appropriate for shorter or taller wearer's.
