Plus, because the climate turns into barely extra bearable and we glance to banish our heavy winter coats to the again of wardrobes, a light-weight trench is the perfect trans-seasonal piece. I will be sizing up in mine for a extra relaxed look, and pairing with my favorite trainers, plain white tee and straight-leg denims. Or possibly I will go full denim revival and layer it with daring head-to-toe denim.

In truth, triple and even quadruple denim is proving to be a notable development on current catwalks. At Copenhagen Style Week alone, designers together with Helmstedt, Stine Goya and Marimekko showcased fashions in quite a lot of all-denim appears, so if Style Month is something to go by to date, a denim trench coat is the perfect addition to your spring/ summer time 2024 wardrobe. ’90s eat your coronary heart out.
