3 Trendy Spring Overcoats For Women Over 40
With warmer temperatures and pretty spring flowers comes the joy of finally being able to put away your heavy winter parka! Now, what do you wear during this in-between time when it’s too cool to go coatless, but you don’t want to feel weighed down? Here’s a look at some of the latest trends in Spring Overcoats.
1. The Relaxed Trench
Trench Coats and spring go hand in hand, but the latest twist is a slouchy style trench that is soft and relaxed. To look modern and up to date, look for a trench coat with less structure that is made from fluid fabrics.
Rolled sleeves, a flowy collar, and a simple wrap belt give this pretty trench a bathrobe feel. You will find lots of comfortable trenches in classic colors taupe, gray, and black, but the coolest ones this spring are in soft pink, romantic blush, or pastel blue.
Pair a relaxed trench with jeans and a white shirt to dress up a super casual weekend look, or wear it with a dress to work or to a special event. This coat has a quiet, classy feel that will take you everywhere.
2. The Classic Army Jacket
Sometimes all you need to get you through to spring is a cute little jacket. If you are tired of short, brightly colored trench-style jackets, you might want to try an army jacket. The utilitarian look continues to be hot. This is a great wardrobe staple that pairs perfectly with jeans and a cute top. Feminine details like a nipped-in waist, embroidery and even a small ruffle can add a feminine touch if you are worried about looking too masculine. Khaki is considered neutral, so the good news is, that it will match everything!
3. The Sporty Bomber Jacket
Bomber jackets with a sporty zip up the front have been trending lately too. The slouch all-American style is a favorite with fashionistas because it’s light and casual and you can find one to fit every personality and lifestyle. Whether you go for satin, denim, or just a cotton blend, a bomber jacket is always a good choice when you need a light overcoat.
Help! Can you suggest again what to wear to college graduation? I know you did dresses, but I don’t wear dresses because of my heavy legs. Thanks. I’m 73 and wear a size 12.
