How to Style a Trench Coat with a Formal Dress With the winter season approaching, it’s time to take out the evergreen piece of clothing that rules Europe - The trench Coat. It has been a go-to piece of clothing in everyone’s closet for ages and has been redesigned by various artists to make it wearable throughout the year.

Trench coats for women nowadays are available in breathable fabrics suited for summer and the shorter ones are ruling the hearts.

A thin necklace and chunky gold earrings would make this outfit a 10 out of 10.

If it’s cold, and you don’t want to freeze in your office’s centralized air conditioning system, put on a black turtle neck on a dress, put on a belt, and fold its edges around the belt in a way that the turtleneck looks short, and the looks clean on the edges. Put on a neutral-colored trench coat, and a chunky gold necklace if you want those heads to turn, stockings and loafers with little gold detail would look the best otherwise the good old block heels can be used to save the day.

Formal dresses for women are usually boring and dull, but if you know how to put the right pieces together, you would be able to create a good impression.
