Trend Alert: The Sleeveless Trench

You might not have seen these sleeveless trenches yet because trends usually start in Europe and then work their way to our side of the world. The traditional trench coat is not always “en vogue”, but it has held its own over the years. They’ve been steadily climbing in popularity since 2009.

Two weekends ago, I scoured the San Francisco Premium Outlets and only found TWO stores that carried this sleeveless version! Banana Republic Outlet had a GORGEOUS sand colored linen trench, but it didn’t fit. DKNY had this sleek, slimming black one on sale.  It’s great for work, running errands, or shuttling kids to school.

This trench is a unique layering piece! You can wear it with pants or dresses. The other day I was running late, so I left my pj pants on (cotton black leggings), threw on a grey tee, my lace up flats, custom locket, and ran out the door! Needless to say more than one person asked me about the new jacket.

This jacket is not very impressive hanging on the rack, but when worn it can transform your pjs from sloppy late mom, to Hepburn Chic – especially with a pair of ankle tie flats! Don’t forget the big sunglasses, too!
