Ele, I expected better of you. Trench coats and peacoats are perfectly fashionable. In moderation. I would highly suggest avoiding the '
duster' style coats unless you're going for that whole look (I happen to own a duster and would have worn it during the winter, had it not been too long for me). The coats pictured in Ele's previous post are fine,
provided the rest of your clothes fit the style that surrounds them, namely business casual. Button down shirt, tie, and jeans of any style you prefer. There is an alternate style that befits the use of a trench coat, but it is very much the style of the 1920's and is extremely out of place here in 2015, especially with the collective hatred of fedoras on the internet.
I know a fair amount about style, even if I do not exemplify the values I hold (mostly because I cannot afford to revamp my entire wardrobe and I so hate those 'transitional periods' in which half of my clothes are graphic tees and the other half are casual button downs.)
