It's now that time of the year that we all have to invest in a winter coat. I know, it pains me too, the fact that for almost five months, the gorgeous clothes we've invested in throughout the year are hidden under huge coats. Fear not, winter doesn't have to be so fashion damaging. The big coat of the moment is the classic trench. Whether leopard print, metallic or in classic beige, the trench oozes sophistication and instant glamor.

Check out some of my favorites.
