Trench coats bring to mind so many things - the iconic Burberry label, undercover detectives and unfortunately, pervy 50-year-old flashers - but despite its sometimes misunderstood past, it seems the classic trench will never fall out of fashionable favour. For the past few years, it feels like everyone and their sister has the exact same tan trench, which is why I find this new navy polka-dot version from Banana Republic so totally refreshing. It's ladylike, flattering and fun, and although it's spotted, the classic shape and perfect shade of navy will stop it from being a one-season wonder.
The Polka-Dot Trench($185) is available now at Banana Republic stores nationwide or online at bananarepublic.ca
