How To Wear Trench Coat Style Dresses Like A Celebrity ?

Indian Fashion Industry bloomed with trench coat style dresses after Priyanka Chopra was seen wearing one at Met Gala.  Not every celebrity fashion is adaptable in our daily life but, I certainly fell in love with this fashion. This fashion might look bit odd for Indian summer but, I think from August on-wards, this type of dress can be easily incorporated in our wardrobe. I have been a follower of Supernatural series where Castiel always wear a trench coat. Then & there, my love started for this style. I anyway wear trench coat during winter to protect myself from cold waves and I am glad the style is going to stay for long in every season.

Coming up to my pick, I was looking for an unique dress for my birthday. Of course A-line & skater dresses were there in funky styles & colors, but I certainly wanted something more off beat. A Trench Coat Style that I spotted on Stalk Buy Love, instantly stole my heart. I wanted it. A must have for my wardrobe.

Now that it’s a dress, experiments are accepted. There are various cuts & design. You need to choose the right type. You have lean long sleeves, go for a sleeveless trench coat style dress, otherwise you can stick to 3/4th sleeves.

You can also choose for bit over-sized trench coat style dress or a total fit depending upon your preference.

But the colors are mostly neutral/subtle. Beige, Olive, Peach, Khaki, Black, Brown are some shades which are mostly available in these dresses.

The Minimal The Better. You can either opt for a string of of pearls or small tops for your ears. Also you can choose a clean bracelet or a nice watch. You can skip a handbag if you want to but, a sophisticated hand bag or box clutch would do just fine. Don’t forget to carry a pair of nice but basic black shades.

Get a nice pair of heels to go with this style of dress. The color of heels should be based on the color of the dress. I chose peach heels with my peach dress. Black heels anyway would go with any color dress.

A trench coat style dress asks only minimal makeup. Do your basic & minimal eye makeup with clean brows and nude lipstick. You can use a bronzer if you want to but, keep other things simple and subtle.

The best hairstyle for this style of dress is definitely a bun. A messy or a clean, is your choice. You can also wear a pony tail with fringes on your forehead, gives very feminine look.
