When it comes to clothing, our regions clearly do not have the same tastes. The proof with this C&A trench coat which is unanimously appreciated everywhere in France, except in the East.
Just as beauty standards vary according to country, clothing styles change according to geographical areas. For example, certain clothes that are popular here are less popular there… and vice versa. In France, regional differences are expressed even in clothing. An observation confirmed by the much appreciated brand THATwhich exclusively reveals to us the local subtleties that emerge within its sales figures. While we learned that jeans wide leg and straight cut were very popular in the metropolises when the provinces prefer more tight-fitting cuts, the Dutch label definitely has other things to teach us. At the house of THATit therefore seems that this regional style battle is not only expressed in jeans… According to an internal source, the trench coat is also the subject of a regional divide.
So, in terms of figures, if the short trench coat is a national best seller at THATit does not meet with the same success in the Mulhouse region. There, fashionistas remain attached to clothing traditions and still prefer the classic long trench coat falling above the knee.
The short trench coat models that are a hit throughout France – with the exception of the Eastern region in question – are therefore as follows:
One has a more classic silhouette, with two rows of three buttons and a slightly tighter cut at the waist. The other, more original, only displays one button on the front and countless pleats. But if the ornamental details differ between the two pieces, the price remains the same: 39.99 euros.
This craze for the short trench coat comes mainly from Hollywood celebrities: Hailey Bieber, Kylie and even Kendall Jenner have all been seen with a version of this revisited classic. As with all “cropped” clothing cuts, the advantage of the “micro trench” is that it slims the silhouette, giving the illusion of a short bust for infinitely longer legs. A model which is therefore ideal for young and old alike.
Style-wise, combining it is child’s play: It goes with practically all shapes of pants and all types of shoes. Flare, mom, barrel or skinny jeans; pumps, moccasins, sneakers or even ballerinas: this wardrobe essential goes with everything, without exception. No risk of making a mistake in choosing it. Heeled shoes will obviously accentuate its “slender” effect, while preserving its elegant and formal image, while sneakers will break up its overly smooth side by giving it a little “je ne sais quoi” of nonchalance. Up to you.
