Surprisingly the weather on campus has seemed more like springtime in London than December in snowy Syracuse. Due to the unseasonal rains, it comes as no surprise that trench coats have been making a strong appearance among both Fashionistas and Fashionistos throughout the past week. This Fashionista picked up on the trend with a London Fog trench coat. The rest of her outfit is composed of Levi’s skinny jeans and a pair of black flats from Steve Madden. 

The important thing I noticed with this Fashionista is the color of her trench. When someone talks about wearing a trench coat, a coat in khaki or camel jumps instantly into mind for most as the quintessential trench coat. I wanted to photograph this Fashionista to show that trench coats can work equally well in non traditional colors, like this green, and in multiple ways. Sometimes, it’s best to go outside of the traditional and explore the classic garments by working with a new twist. Like this Fashionista’s look, the trench coat's different color is an eye grabber.
