As we blogged way back in February, the trench coat is a wardrobe staple, a key-piece and an investment buy that will take you through the seasons fuss-free and on-trend.

Back in February we showed you how designers were styling trench coats for A/W 2011 including the waist tan belt and already we’re seeing trench coat styles on the catwalks for S/S 2012 at New York Fashion Week!…

The jones + jones design team have taken the trench coat to the next level by ensuring that the jones + jones Paris Trench Coat is not only ultra-feminine and super-stylish but also water resistant too!

Practical yet pretty, the jones + jones Paris Trench Coat is available in stylish black with an edgy black and white striped lining and classic beige with an oh-so-sweet light brown gingham lining…

The combination of stunning pleats cascading down from the nipped-in waist with the classic collar and double breasted design, leads to a gorgeous fusion of on-trend and tradition…

The matching detachable belt can be tied into a statement bow, enhancing your curves further or replaced with a belt of your choice if you want to add your own personal style. Wear over your favourite jones + jones dress or skinny jeans for an on-trend and easy-to-wear outfit.

This full-skirted trench coat mixes feminine and edgy styling with function to ensure you stay stylish (and dry!) season after season.
