Wide Lapel Trench Coat

Exceptionally wide lapels give this trench coat a commanding, editorial presence - broader than the classic trench silhouette and impossible to overlook. Double-breasted front with ornate gold-tone buttons that sit proud of the fabric, adding a polished, decorative detail to an otherwise structured coat. Self-tie belt sits at the natural waist, allowing you to define your silhouette or wear it loosely draped for a more relaxed, longline effect. Maxi length falls to the lower calf, with a straight hem and a slight vent at the back that allows the coat to move cleanly as you walk. Epaulette detailing at the shoulder and turn-back cuffs reinforce the tailored, military-inspired character of the design. The wide lapel is the detail that sets this coat apart from every other belted trench in the wardrobe. It draws the eye upward, broadens the shoulders, and gives the whole silhouette a sense of authority that a standard notch lapel simply cannot match. The coat hangs with real weight and structure, sitting away from the body until the belt pulls it in - at which point it becomes something considerably more refined. Worn belted, it works beautifully over a fine-knit roll-neck and slim trousers, as shown here, with knee-high boots completing the line from hem to floor. For a formal occasion - a wedding, the races, or a winter graduation - layer it over a tailored midi dress and carry a structured leather bag to let the coat speak without competition. The gold button detail means there is no need for additional jewellery at the neckline; the coat does that work entirely on its own. | Wallis Wide Lapel Trench Coat In Charcoal
