This lovely trench is a gift from my mother's closet. She parts with the prettiest things, including this vintage khaki coloured floor-sweeping trench, claiming she never wears them. The cropped sleeves perfectly contrast the exaggerated long train of the coat and the silhouette it creates reminds me of lab coats. Lab coats as outerwear for Spring? This is giving me ideas as I definitely have more than a few lab coats sitting around that could use alterations. The sterile white of lab coats is depressing! This reminds me of a photograph I saw on The Sartorialist a few years ago. The young man is rocking a forest green lab coat. I can imagine him pipetting solutions and working in a hood before being snapped by Scott on the street. Oh my imagination.
