In the rain, this fashion novelty, as chic as it is practical, is already panicking the networks and could disappear more quickly than expected.
The weather is playing spoilsport in the four corners of France. Sudden downpour in the morning, persistent drizzle in the afternoon, deceptive clearing at the end of the day… Getting dressed is almost a headache. However, one piece thrives season after season, weathering the vagaries of the sky without ever losing its splendor. Lighter than a wool coat, less bulky than a down jacket, it protects just enough while creating an impeccable silhouette. When the rain comes, fashionistas rely on this great revisited classic which combines style and practicality.
Born at the beginning of the 20th century to meet the needs of British soldiers, consecrated by the house of Burberry, immortalized in the cinema on the shoulders of Audrey Hepburn or Brigitte Bardot, this iconic piece has survived the decades without aging. A symbol of Parisian elegance as well as British allure, it stands out as soon as the sky clouds over. And this season, fashion fans have found a version that is as desirable as it is accessible at Zara. On social networks, it is already panicking the counters and some are even predicting an imminent rupture as the demand promises to be strong.
It must be said that the Zara reversible trench coat – called “Reversible Checks Trench Coat” – has everything to become the star of rainy days. Its great strength lies in its double-sided design. On the one hand, a sober and easy to combine shade, ideal for the office or a minimalist silhouette. On the other, a British-inspired check print that instantly infuses character. Two styles in one coat, without compromising on lightness. Its slightly oversized straight cut allows you to slip a blazer or knitted sweater underneath, while its water-repellent material effectively protects against unexpected showers. The belt highlights the waist and structures the whole, offering that impeccable fit that makes all the difference. Its collar, which can be turned up, also deserves a special mention: ideal for protecting yourself from gusts of wind, it can almost replace a scarf on the coolest days.
In a context where every viral novelty disappears at high speed, this model sold at €99.95 ticks all the boxes for a future bestseller. Versatile, practical and perfectly in tune with the times with its play on checks, it instantly transforms basic jeans and ankle boots into a pointed silhouette.
As the rain continues to punctuate our days, one thing is certain: those who want to combine style and protection would do well not to wait too long. Because this revisited iconic piece could well evaporate from the rays faster than a clearing between two showers.
