How To Elevate Your Favorite Trench

Trench Coat and Bold Gold

How To Elevate Your Favorite Trench

I’ve always believed that fashion should speak—boldly, unapologetically, and with unmistakable confidence. And if there are a few things I’ll always be known for, it’s my love of women’s empowerment, statement jewelry, and lived-in denim. Oh, and of course, sharing how to elevate your favorite trench. LOL!

Go-To-Staples

Certain staples have never failed me. Like a one-of-the-moment favorite trench, because who doesn’t love a perfectly fitting trench coat? I’ve been rocking distressed denim since middle school. Because your go-tos can feel like family. You know, like they’ve been through a thing or two with you. Plus, perfect is overrated and kind of boring.

Last but never least, is some strong, bold, statement gold!

There you have it, these fashion staples have earned their keep through my many seasons, stages, and shifts.

Lean Into Classic Pieces

This look leans into classic—but with a little extra juice. While there’s something quite intoxicating about a structured trench in a pop of color and a pair of perfectly distressed jeans, the look elevates when you layer on bold gold, a confident swag, and a gilded chain. It’s not just an outfit—it’s a moment.

Because personal style isn’t just about what you wear—it’s how you wear it. And darling, a statement always looks and feels even better. ❤️

The Canvas: Classic Trench & Distressed Denim

Picture this: the epitome of chic – a classic trench coat in a subtle red and romantic pink, gracefully draping over your distressed straight-leg jeans. The look lends to classic sophistication with a hint of edgy- a bit of rebellion; consequently, the perfect style contrast.

But hold onto your pearls (or better yet, let’s swap those pearls out for something a bit more daring) because the gag is we’re about to take this look to new levels.

Layer Statement Necklaces

Why settle for subtle when you can stand out? Few accessories fuel my style confidence quite like an alluring layer of statement necklaces cascading down your chest like liquid luxury. Whether you opt for large gems, bold colors, or a mix of both, allow your collar to become the canvas for your masterpiece.

Fashion Tip: A chunky, embellished necklace, worn alone or as a duo or trio layer, instantly elevates a classic. Bonus points if it sparkles! More fashion tips here.

Neck Game Strong

Empower your look as you reach for that café latte or hail a cab. Stack bold with thin, antique-inspired modern design necklaces complimenting your personality and each other. Think chunky signature pieces layered with traditional herringbone and finished with a thin chain with a gorgeous natural element like a dragonfly, perhaps? And just like that, your chest can seamlessly transform into a fashion symphony playing in the background of your fabulous life.

Are you feeling that? Fantastic, statement jewels are designed to turn your not-so-classic, classic trench and distressed jeans combo into a look of finesse. Embrace the allure of bold gold layering pieces and naturally elevate your favorite trench.

Fashion Tip: Mix metals, textures, and sizes for the perfect eclectic and harmonious layer.

Effortlessly Fabulous

There you have it, stylish connoisseurs! It’s easy and quite effortless to elevate your favorite trench coat and distressed jeans into a fashion vibe, and it’s all about adding carefully curated statement pieces.

Let your jewelry tell a story, and let your style shine as bright as your dazzling accessories. Because darling, fashion is not just about clothes; it’s about making a statement, and today, we’re saying it loud and clear – “I’m here, I’m fabulous, and I’m dressed to conquer whatever I face.”
