It's that time of year again... What's the weather going to be like today? Hot or cold? And as of late, the answer has more than likely been both! Which can make dressing for the day a little difficult! 

When you leave home in the morning there's a chill in the air - I'll wear pants, a skivvy, and a jumper. By the time lunch rolls around, the sun is shining, the chill is gone, and you're sweating buckets!... Why did I wear long-sleeves, and pants?! 

This is where strategic styling comes into play. We introduce you to your new wardrobe favourite. The perfect layering piece for in-between seasons... A trench-coat!

While this may not be a revolutionary garment of clothing, if you don't own one already, you NEED to buy one! It really is the perfect layering piece - not too heavy, not too light... Just right! The beauty of this simple coat is that you can quite literally throw it on top of anything! 

Just been to the gym but have a few errands to run? Pop your trench coat on. Heading out for lunch in your new dress but it's a little gusty and you're worried about having a 'Marilyn Monroe' moment? Throw on your trench coat. Have an early start, there's a chill in the air but the forecast is scheduled for sunny skies later on? Yes... You guessed it, your trench coat will become your go-to!

Why we love the look:

- It's the perfect combination of casual and dressy, therefore it can double as your every day AND evening.
- A lighter layer means it's not as bulky to carry around if you do need to take it off throughout the day. 
- A slightly longer length makes adds that little extra warmth to your legs when needed. 

This list could go on, but we'll let the pictures do the talking! Take a look at some of our favourite layered inspo pictures below.
