Trench Coat Mafia

So let's do a little recap on Joburg's high-fashion look this past winter... The Military look had an outrageous following and somewhat quick understanding by the general public and was soon a basic form and structure of dress. Elongated overgarments, tapered bottoms and high-top shoes were staple-like, to say the least...

All of these were hot, without a doubt, but the one garment that's stood the test of time and sure made flames on the SA fashion scene this past winter, was the Trench Coat. This year has had an insane variety of trench coats available in every length, colour, style and pattern - meaning you’ll have no problem finding one that fits into your very own personal wardrobe. Despite the fact that it's become unisex-wear, it goes without saying that it is an essential in any woman’s wardrobe, and if you buy the right one it will last you for a lifetime. A trench-coat will not only get you through those gross, rainy days you'll encounter this season, but it will get you through them looking chic, cute and well-put together, which is exactly why every single woman on earth absolutely needs a trench...

Burberry Porsum's by far THE best trench-coat producer on the face of the Earth... World renowned designer Chris Bailey took - and has been taking - Burberry to new heights with the classical garment and has reinvented the look multiple times, keeping the effect and trendy-outlook of the trench coat itself... Victoria Beckham, Mary-Kate Olsen and Kim Kardashian rock Burberry Porsum's Fall/Winter 2011 trenches effortlessly... This style is unorthodox people! Just goes to show that this look is an all-rounder for any season...
