Bright & Bold Trenches for Spring!

There's nothing that says timeless sophistication like a trench. This season, I've been thinking about changing things up a bit by getting an affordable one in a bright color. Usually when it comes to outerwear I'm all about subdued, neutral hues, but I'm slowly learning that wearing colors can be fun and allows you to stand out in a crowd. This spring, dare to wear a classic trench in a bold, colorful shade that will surely get you noticed!

Would you wear a colored trench coat/jacket?

Check out some of these rainbow-inspired trenches all under $150:

INC International Concepts Belted Trench available at www.macys.com for $90.30

Nerd Girl said...: BGG - You're reading my mind. There is a kelly green trench at Target for 39.99 or so. It is not available online any longer, and I've been scouring the local Tar-jhays hoping to find one. Love the ones you profiled today. Happy Monday!; April 13, 2009 at 9:05 AM

K-Bear said...: BGG, I am like you in that I usually steer clear of color, however, I do have a red trench and every single time I wear it I get tons of compliments! So, yes, I would love to have another bright, bold trench this season!; April 13, 2009 at 11:05 AM
