similar style. Trenches should hit at knew or above or they can look old fashioned. I like mine about 4 inches above knee for the most part.

Love trenches. Calvin Klein, Burberry if you can swing it, Banana Republic and JCREW all have good ones. I have a black one, a tan one, an off white one and a new burgundy one (classic style collected over several years)

Different people recommend Boden. What do you wear Ms. Fashionable?

I bought a trench from Land's End a few years back in a bright magenta color. I wear it constantly - to work, on weekends, almost anywhere - and I always get compliments on it. I think the fact that it's a color that pops has something to do with it. So that may be an option for you?

I wonder if I have the same one -- fingertip length with a nice fit -- I wear it a ton -- with skirts, jeans, leggings, etc. I get lots of compliments on it. I've also got a North Face shell that I throw on over a fleece for walking the dog in cool, rainy weather, but the trench is perfect for anything more formal than that!

I have 2. One is a Burberry trench that is not so form fitting, so it is perfect for weekends with sweaters. My other one is from j crew and is more fitted and tailored. Perfect for work.

I am a trench girl too. I can wear it with a nice dress, but it also looks good with jeans and a white top.

I got a cute lightweight Calvin Klein black nylon raincoat at TJ Maxx recently. I'm not sure if it would still be there, but the price was right ($49).

Am looking to upgrade my rain gear but am hesitate to buy a trench (seems a little old/old fashioned for me) but i need something that goes well with work clothes. I know north face and patagonia have a few trench type jackets that are a little sportier but look good with dressier items for work. any other suggestions? thanks
