In the Trenches
Francoise Hardy 1966
Jennifer and I each bought a trench coat from the resort collections (Celine and Chloe respectively). As I sit at my desk writing this post it is rainy and grey out- a trench is a useful purchase right now.
Sadly, my beloved Tom Ford for Gucci trench is no longer presentable. I had hoped to wear it forever but recently Jennifer hinted that it was time for it to be retired (honestly, it is falling apart but I was in denial).
The trench is without a doubt the IT coat this season and there are plenty to choose from. As Jennifer says “everyone needs a trench!”

Preston, you must have seriously worn your Tom Ford for Gucci trench to death! I mean you really can’t wear it now? Glad you updated…I love the way Carine wear hers, and needless to say Alexa. She never puts a foot wrong when it comes to effortless dressing. That’s Ines’ daughter?? heavens, she’s beautiful, like mother like daughter. Not keen on the Burberry ad for the trench…too boring.
I agree with this post! I’m wondering if you guys could suggest other trenches that you like, if celine and chloe are (sadly) a little too expensive…
thank you!!
A.P.C. makes the best trenches at a lower price point and they are on sale right now! Preston
