As we know these amazing inspiring shops style and present the newest or keep the classic trends going, which gives inspiration to everyone, whether you are a stylist, a designer, buyer or simply knowing for your self what you like and how to creatively curate your own look.
I also like to add any inspirations to add to the look, which I hope can inspire you as well.
This week it is about Trench coats or Macs are incredibly versatile and unisex, especially when the days are like they are today – rain, sun, rain, windy and joy again sun, we have all experienced recently. The classic shape with its long length, is perfect as you can wear any style underneath, either if you’re traveling to work, shuffling to a gym class or simply going for a casual Sunday lunch. Vintage shops are the best places to find this attire. Quality is needed so it lasts, and looks authentic. History lives in this type of overcoat, so it is important to find the right shape, colour and fit for you.

A tip, always start in the menswear section for two reasons, amazing finds on smaller sizes which is in good quality, secondly an oversized silhouette is ideal as it allows you to wear knitwear or blazers.
Now you may not find your perfect “mac” on the first walk around, however keep trying them on, there are many different types, as some are lined, some have big epaulettes or the oversized silhouette takes some time to get used too. Keep an eye out for brands like Aquascutum, Burberry, Mackintosh or London Fog.
Play around with the colours most are normally in a light camel or beige, this can also take a little bit of time to get used to, explore khaki, tan or don’t be afraid to find a colour which is brighter for example this red colour.
