Summer hasn't quite reached Manchester yet. We're used to the rain here which is a good job since there's lots of showers forecast for this coming week.
I've got a couple of vintage trench coats in my own collection - I do love a stylish trench! They're still big news on all the catwalks this year and these classic coats never seem to go out of fashion. I found a fab selection of trench coats in The Daily Telegraph Magazine dated March 1975. Hope you like them too. I think the styles have stood the test of time and are still very wearable today. These images are 35 years old. I especially love the Biba.
Glamorous gold/green midi-length trench by Biba, £32
Christopher Robin smock trench coat in blue. Unbuttons to well below the waist (making it easy to step out of). The band collar has a hood attached. By Cyclose, £56
Sky blue ciré raincoat with buttons to the neck. Large pockets, flared skirt and raglan sleeves gathered into buttoned cuffs from Wallis, £19.95
Double-breasted trench coat in light rubberbacked cotton with deep armholes and pockets by Quorum, £35. And Cooper's half-belted cream cotton proofed raincoat with flaring back and facings in a fine check, £30.
Quorum's proofed cotton, pintucked raincoat. It's loose, straight and single-breasted with concertina pintucked hood buttons under the collar and ties in the front, £45. Quorum's hip-length golfer's jacket with elasticated waist and slanted pockets and a wrap-over skirt, Jacket £22, Skirt £18.

! Will we ever not need coats here? Especially the RAIN REPELLENT ones...??? Love the photos! One thing for sure in the UK...one can find real quality & FASHIONABLE rain gear ...Thanks for the post!!!! xox
. It's NOS, from a shop called "La belle Renée" on Ave. Mont-Royal (maybe some of you have heard of it, I know there are a few members from Montreal here :D ). The label is Canadian, Nicolette by Niccolini, and it's a kind of junior size. I guess it was thought to be for a teenager, but that makes for a nice fit for me as I'm small up top... So it has a nice, fitted look with an accentuated waist, and the length is really nice too - it gives good cover!
