While the classic Burberry trench is a timeless luxury to have in one’s closet, not everyone can or wants to spend over a thousand dollars on something that will keep you dry and good looking in the rain.
Here in Washington, where it seems like it’s been raining for weeks, I’ve been on the lookout for chic Burberry substitutes. I found two colorful options and was happy to see the price tags and the fact that each comes in a multitude of sizes!
Like the Burberry trench (far left), this gorgeous all-weather satin twill coat from Gallery comes with a detachable wool lining. Love the blackberry color, but it also comes in terra cotta and black with sizes in petite, regular and plus. $98
This one from Michael Kors comes in the expected black and khaki, but take a minute and check out the cranberry and orange (pictured) options. Delicious for those dreary days in the fall and early spring. On sale for $135 (sizes S-XL.)
I have this Michael Kors trench in the Cranberry and I love it! Removable hood and liner! It’s very flattering and has some great details like cute, smaller buttons on the sleeves and a feminine waist.
