big trenches

French fashionistas didn't wait to bust out fall's must-have trench coat. They debuted this cool-weather layer back in July (!), as evidenced in the snaps taken during Couture Week. So, it's not at all too early for us to contemplate which one we might want to sport come fall. Just keep in mind that the roomier the fit, the chicer. This season's oversized trench has a masculine flair, and it's relaxed enough to throw over pretty much any outfit. I'm eyeing these from Asos, Hatch, H&M, A.W.A.K.E, Topshop (or this one), and Alexander Wang.
