UPTOWN Gentleman: In The Trenches

Wholly embrace the tradition of donning a stylish trench coat during the rainy days of spring, but do so in a non-traditional manner — with an unpredictable splash of color! Already intimately acquainted with the run-of-the-mill khaki trench coat, a gentleman would greatly benefit from a fresh approach to an old favorite. Unfortunately, this classic staple has inherited the unbecoming stigma of being worn by grizzled detectives (ahem, Columbo) or retirees headed to the park to feed birds. However, trimmer cuts and more color options have modernized this proverbial spring favorite. Dispel any misconceptions you may harbor about the trench coat. Today’s version is slimmer, cooler and badder. And it needs to be in your rotation of outerwear as the rain starts to fall.
