We are nearing the end of winter, about to head into spring’s bloom. Before we reach peak April flourish, we have the fun but notoriously tricky-to-style transitional season to contend with. For an easy solution to the coinciding wardrobe woes, why not turn to the trench coat? The humble hero of rain and noncommittal temps has been upgraded for spring and is looking more exciting than ever.
