Had he been around, Sherlock Holmes would have made the perfect style icon for the season. The trench coat, every detective8217;s favourite attire, is back in vogue. 8220;You might think summer is the wrong time to wear trench coats, but there8217;s so much one can do with the silhouette that it turns out to be a perfect summer complement,8221; says Delhi designer Anupama Dayal.
So, if you are not comfortable with the long , flowing look, make it short and funky. 8220;The latest thing in trenches are the crop trench coats, which are tiny and more relaxed,8221; says Dayal.
Sleeveless trenches with low belts give you a slouchy but eye-catching look. Summer calls for relaxed fits, so it8217;s the right time for experimentation. 8220;I play around a lot with fabrics8212;satin and silk with vintage embroidery for a luxe look and neon brights for the rain trenches to give it a sporty feel,8221; says Dayal.
So don8217;t hide the coats at the back of your closet. Bring them out and liven up your summer.
