Stella McCartney Techno Trench Coat at Yoox.com imageStella McCartney Techno Trench Coat at Yoox.com imageStella’s always got something unique to add to a classic. (And yes, I do like to refer to designers by their first names on occasion and act like I know them). This time she does it with a trench coat. The twist? Techno fabric! At least that’s the description used on Yoox.com. I really have no idea what techno fabric is though. It looks kind of shiny and I imagine it makes some kind of crinkly noise when you put it on. How’s that for a guess?? All I know for sure is that it looks awesome. It’s got lots of great details too, including an inverted pleat with buckle detail and some great button details at the stand-up collar.

Here’s a bit more info for you -

Two pockets
Self belt
Internal pocket
Double breasted button closure
100% Polyester

Sizes: 0, 4, 6

The original price was $690, but the price has come down to $345! Free shipping for a limited time at Yoox.com.

Givenchy Military Coat at Luisaviaroma.com

GIVENCHY - MILITARY WOOL COATGivenchy Military Coat at Luisaviaroma.com imageOh. My gosh. This coat is Givenchy at its finest. I only wish I was Audrey Hepburn back in the 60s so that I could wear Givenchy everything for free! Man, she had it made.

But seriously, if I could pick just one thing to wear all winter, this would totally be it. It’s made of the finest wool, structured so perfectly, and has a collar that makes a great statement. Check out the curved panels at the front. And the stitching details around the shoulders. These little things totally MAKE this coat.

Here are some more details…

* Wide pointed wrapping collar
* Slightly puffy shoulders
* Off center concealed snap closure
* Pocketless
* Raised pleats on back below waist
* 75% Wool, 20% Polyamide Fiber, 5% Other Fibers

Normally I’m ALL about the pockets. Like… if I’m on the fence about buying something and I find some hidden hip pockets, it’s a no-brainer – I buy it! But this time, I don’t even care that this coat doesn’t have pockets. It doesn’t need ‘em! It is perfection as it is.

US Sizes 6 – 8

This is on sale at Luisaviaroma.com for $1403.50. You won’t find a coat like this for a price like that anytime soon! Taxes and shipping included in that price.

Costume National Camel Trench Coat at Yoox.com

Posted by sarah | Women's Trench Coats | Tuesday 9 February 2010 6:30 pm UTC

Costume National Camel Trench Coat at Yoox.com imageCostume National Camel Trench Coat at Yoox.com imageOk, now I’m overdoing it with the trench coats, I know. But I’ve always been on a mission to find the best trench coats out there and this one really hits the jackpot, so I couldn’t resist posting.

First of all, the color is quite possibly the most perfect camel colored trench coat I’ve ever seen. I’m all for the khaki or stone colored trenches, but this beats them all for me. There is a slight sheen to the fabric (this is probably the same thing that makes it water resistant). Second, the fit is slim – and slimming! You can’t go wrong there. Third, this has all the good features that make the trench coat a classic. See below for more details!

Strapped cuffs
Two pockets
Back yoke
Self belt
One internal pocket
Double breasted button closure

The only thing that *might* be missing is a slit in the back. But I’m not going to get all technical about that here because the rest of the coat is picture perfect!

Sizes: 2, 4, 10

This is currently on sale at Yoox.com for $540.

Burberry Trench Coats at Luisaviaroma.com

Posted by sarah | Women's Trench Coats | Tuesday 2 February 2010 6:23 pm UTC

Burberry is the epitome of class and luxury, especially when it comes to trench coats. I mean, they invented gabardine, which is the water-resistant fabric used in most trench coats and outerwear today. And every time you see that classic checked pattern on a handbag or the inside lining of someone’s coat, you know you’re looking at a quality piece.

Over the years I’ve noticed that Burberry coats rarely goes on sale. Like any other designer, that just shows how luxurious their brand is. But I’ve always been determined to find quality designer clothing at a lower price. It’s almost an obsession actually! (That is, in part, why this website exists!) Well, today I have finally succeeded in finding Burberry coats on sale. They are 30% off at Luisaviaroma.com – already more of a discount than I have seen in stores. On top of that, there is an extra 10% coupon code that can be used until tomorrow which will give you even more of a discount!

Alessandro Dell Acqua Coat at Yoox.com imageAlessandro Dell Acqua Coat at Yoox.com imageThis Alessandro Dell’ Acqua is totally vintage.
