Spring has sprung.

Or has it? Honestly, the weather is so changeable these days we can barely tell what season it is.

And temperamental weather calls for a classic spring coat; step forward the H&M trenchcoat, an absolute steal right now (€27.99!) at the Opera Lane store.

A menswear staple, long since adopted by the world’s most stylish women, the perfect trenchcoat is lightweight, neutral and versatile.

Happily, the super affordable H&M version ticks all our sartorial boxes; not only is it lined and double-breasted with detachable shoulder tabs, side pockets and adjustable cuffs, it also boasts a detachable tie belt at the waist and a pleat at the back.

If you fancy upping your budget a little for a slight update on the classic shape (and tortoiseshell buttons), this gorgeous trenchcoat (€49.99) is also available in H&M now.

A slightly more casual take on the trend, this one comes in a woven fabric in beige and red.

Either design will be guaranteed to live in your wardrobe, waiting for those spring showers, for seasons to come.

We’ll be teaming ours with snakeskin boots and sharp trousers for maximum impact.
