Next, we have the show-stopping Corrin trench. Unlike the Lisa’s shorter, structured design, this coat leans into pure drama with an ankle-grazing length that commands a room. It’s an obvious show-stopper—whether layered over a fitted black dress and heeled boots or a silk skirt and stilettos—where the deep espresso hue has a luxurious texture that makes heads turn. (Case in point: I wore it to a birthday dinner at Beefbar last weekend, and the compliments just kept coming.) Plus, despite being crafted from suede, it’s surprisingly insulating; it offers a level of warmth that rivals my puffer coats. And thanks to the satin lining, it’s surprisingly comfortable, given the structured build.

That said, what really sets this coat apart are its details. First, you have the shoulder pads, which add just the right amount of form to make it feel tailored and architectural. The double-breasted front is punctuated by oversized, tonal buttons that lend a touch of vintage charm to an otherwise modern piece. And of course, there’s the waist tie, which is wide, substantial and flexible: You can cinch it tightly to create a nipped-in, dramatic silhouette or let it hang loose for a more relaxed, flowing fit. I personally love to tie it when I’m layering over a fitted dress; it’s an easy way to make a simple LBD feel striking. It’s not a coat I’d throw on for errands, but it’s perfect for a special night when I want to make an entrance.
