Marie-Anne, you are the Queen of sustainability as well as style! As a result of watching your fabulous videos, I have discovered many new outfits in my wardrobe. Sometimes it is necessary to buy a new accessory or item of underwear to make the outfit work, but that is far cheaper than buying lots of new clothes. Also I choose any new clothes with greater care, so they will really work with my existing pieces. The French Chic philosophy is great for the planet!
I always admired the trench coats my granny and my uncle used to wear but somehow I never had one as an adult. Three years ago I finally got mine thanks to you and I simply adore it. I think a trench coat is a basic and very necessary piece of clothing for any wardrobe. Few things are so versatile. Here the tendency is being so underdressed that people stare at me when I walk on the street with my coat. Friends tell me that’s too elegant and formal but for me it is not. But well such is life in…the tropics!😂
Thanks Marie-Anne, I’ve been kind of shy wearing my trench coat. I really like the way you accessorized it in your video, I am feeling motivated to use it more this fall. Your tips are such a blessing!!!
Bonjour Marie-Anne, again a super video. The first trench I saw in my life was the trench of my father. When I was a child, I loved to see him wearing his trench. For me he looked, how to say, so serious, important in this coat. It impressed me as a child. Well, now I am in your age and of course, a trench coat is one of my favourites for so many years...🙂
Thank you Marie-Anne. I’ve never bought a trench coat but I love yours and the way you style it to make so many different outfits. This is a really helpful video and you’ve converted me to the versatility of this style of coat!
Bonjour Marie-Anne - Thank You for showing your capsule wardrobe. I absolutely love every single pieces. But I have to say, you have a great figure 👌💯 which is a bonus.
I’m still a work in progress but I’ve come a long way!! I used to dress down for fall. I’d gravitate to flannel, leggings and denim and sweatshirts. Yesterday after exercise class there was a meeting at the library I could have worn what I had on. Other ladies did. But instead I wore navy straight leg pants, a white satin shirt sleeved shirt blouse, a leopard print cardigan and a gold chunky necklace. It was chilly Instead of a jeans jacket I wore my camel belted blazer but I kept my navy converse sneakers on I felt so good I just love wearing better clothes when I go somewhere. I always carry a good bag in a neutral color It’s amazing what swapping a tee shirt for a nice blouse can do for a person I loved this video and all your outfits
You are too adorable!!! I shook my head right along with the camera to the Mary Jane’s lol I thrifted two beautiful vintage trench coats. One in the tan, very classic snd one in a pale blue grey. Can’t wait to wear them ☺️
Marie-Anne, thanks so much for doing a video on trench coats. I've been shopping for just the right one and this video will help me focus on buying one with the right details. And it will help me to wear it in the most fashionable ways. I loved the belt tied in the back to cinch the waist. Loved that! I also loved the dark belt because it matched the buttons on the coat, but I'm sure you're right to look for a wider belt. I loved your second pairing. Again I loved the two-toned shoes. I guess I also need to buy some two-toned shoes when I buy my trench coat. And I love when you say "oooooh" when you think of a new idea.
I want a trench coat! You make it look so chic and elegant. But where I live, in Southern California, I don’t think I’d use it except to look très chic! Thank you for all your videos. You get me out of my jeans and tee-shirts and I feel so much prettier when I do! 💕💕💕
I have three Hobbs trench coats. Two of them, tan and beige, were bought in Hobbs' online sales, and the third, in navy, was a pre-loved eBay find. Probably two too many, but they were impossible to resist!
Good afternoon Marie-Anne! I did enjoy seeing your selections for the trench coat! My favorite was the second one with beige elbow sleeve sweater, trousers and the camel/brown heels. It’s was the camel color on the shoes that made the whole outfit “pop” for me! It just brightened it all up! Thank you for sharing how to mix things up. Have safe travels! 💕
Please Marie Anne, I am 70 years old and have bought a black leather shirt. Suggestions needed as what to wear with it. I was thinking of Grey wool trousers or Grey tweed trousers. I do have leather trousers but think it would be just too much. I and my daughter absolutely love all of your style videos. Merry Christmas love Sue
What a fun video!!!! You did a fabulous job describing the different styles!!! Loved them all❤️. I’m in my seventh decade and I see I need to find a trench coat!!! You have such enthusiasm definitely not boring❤️
I have a beige London fog trench coat that is unflattering on me but I think that I am going to sell it on consignment then invest in a black one with a belt. The London fog one is great quality but boxy 80s style. I am 5'3 and have an apple body with shorter torso. Not an easy body to style. I absolutely love how organized your wardrobe is. This makes it easier to put outfits together night before or early in the morning before work or starting your day. The cardigan, trousers and heels were my favourite outfit. I would switch it out for a block heeled loafer for work, flats or ankle boots. I teach so no stilettos for work.
"a sea of frump" I quite literally started laughing while sipping coffee and about choked! Such an accurate yet humorous phrase. I reside in an area that is semi-rural, so it is quite common to see actual farmers around town wearing overalls and work boots. However, we do have a very popular "downtown" area full of antique stores, fancy restaurants, boutiques, and a riverfront stroll. I always debate what to wear when in the more local areas. I refuse to wear a shirt sleeves t-shirt and skinny jeans to fit-in, but I don't want to be too dressy in case I end up at a feed store. My solution is usually to wear a trench coat over my casual clothes as it elevates any outfit but isn't screaming "look at me!" A sea of frump 😂 As for trench coats, I have 4. Of course beige & black, but then I've added olive and navy because I found them on sale or second hand.
Love your videos, thank you for so much inspiration! Your excited "oooh"s when it's a *wow* are the best! I've been considering a pair of Vivaia flats like the black loafers you showed. Are they comfy? They have some beautiful styles in flats.
I used to wear trench coats when i lived in a city and used public transportation. But now driving a car in the suburbs it doesn feel practical. Getting in and out, sitting on it and making the back side wrinkled... what do you think?
I have bought a trench coat which fits well except for the chest area. I will mostly wear the coat unbuttoned, but when I button it up, the chest it a bit too fitted. I could buy the bigger size but I think it would be oversized on me. I notice that you do not fasten the button on your chest on your trench coat. Is this a style decision?
I have a trench coat, that I enjoys. But, it has a problem. Per instructions, it should be ironed with a low heat iron, which doesn't remove the creases! any advices marie-Anne to solve this problem? I'm afraid of burning it if I go up with the heat!
I will not wear khaki; I look washed out/terrible in this color. I can wear navy or black. Trench coats in these colors are hard to find. The hunt is on!
I feel like, more than any other garment, the trench coat is the one that I associate specifically with my time working in the corporate world. Which explains why I have no desire to buy one now, I think.
I cannot understand how a trench coat could possible look frumpy. Somehow I suspect that even over pajamas to run out for the newspaper you wouldn’t, in fact couldn’t, look frumpy.
Marie-Anne, my husband just surprised me with a Burberry trench coat!! I know one does not need to spend that amount of money for a beautiful, classic trench coat, but he bought it for my birthday and I could not be more excited to wear it. It fit like a glove and I know it will be with me for many, many years to come! It's such a versatile piece of clothing. Love ALL your videos! xo 💕
I have two: black and red. I feel like a movie star (Catherine Deneuve, of course) when I wear it with my black pants, scarf and patent leather flats. I also will wear a pair of black faux-leather gloves. I even walk with more panache!
All three looks are fabulous!! As usual, you are a delight to see!! I love your humour, and the saying "the world is your oyster, and you are the Pearl"!!
I have a beige trench coat but I never succeed to wear .every time I put on I see the reflection of inspecteur gadget in the mirror so I hurry to wear something else.i struggle to make a good bow in the back with the belt .anyway I will try again this automn😅
Marie Anne, watching your videos is like enjoying a delicious , fresh and healthy meal. Very satisfying and good for my sprit. I have been watching you tube for about two years and followed a few youtubers. Some of them started out teaching style, then turned into product sales person, encouraging women to follow trend non-stop . Some tried to be different, became very edgy and gender neutral. You are one of the very few truly believe in your own classic, French chic style and consistent teaching it with passion and joy. It really shows through. We all understand youtubers have to make a living. But the difference is so obvious. You are a true pearl in a sea of sand.
Gorgeous! Your energy is everything. I don't know your age but I love how you can put on your shoes standing balanced on one foot at a time. You are so youthful. Stay awesome!
I was so lucky to find a second hand trench from Club Monaco for $50 cad (35€)! Impeccable tailoring, inside and out. Thanks for sharing these styling tips, in Canada it’s more a « convenient » coat than a stylish item. I will definitely use your tips, merci!
I guessed the coat was by Hobbs before I saw it, the metal loop at the collar really made me think it was Hobbs, I have their shorter style, excellent quality, it seems buying from contemporary designer / high end high Street is such a great thing. The quality without inflated premium pricing methods.
Question: Hi, Marie-Anne. I'm having a lot of trouble finding a trench coat. I'm 5'6" and have am an apple shape (but smoking hot legs!), and all the longer trench coats that I've tried on make me look extremely frumpy. Also, because I'm very fair with very light hair, all the beige and tan ones I've found make me look extremely washed out. I think I could wear a camel color or darker brown, if I could find one, or possibly black, though it is a little harsh. What do you think about shorter trench coats? They don't look as casual/elegant as the longer ones, but I've tried on many of the longer ones, and I don't feel very French chic in them. Do you think it is better to have a shorter trench coat or none at all? I enjoy your channel very much. I'm waiting for my white sneakers to come this week!
@@MarieAnneLecoeur Thanks, Marie-Anne. I think I've pretty much mastered most of the challenges of the apple shape (high-waisted slacks and jeans, color blocking, body-skimming fits, high-hip jackets that disguise the tummy while making my legs look longer, etc.), but I think the biggest problem with the trench coats has arisen from my extremely short waist. I usually don't wear belts for that reason; because it emphasizes the problem. Now that I'm thinking this through, I think a shorter coat would have the same problem, or possibly worse, because either would just cut me off in an unflattering place. Thanks for the opportunity to work through this. When I go shopping or talk to my friends, I always say "Bonjour French Chic Ladies suggests that I buy...". This always amuses them, and many of them ask how to find you online.
I love it! I do not want to be "invisible in the frump". Thank you for styling the trench for different occasions. I never thought about styling an over coat. Thank you for expanding my styling mind.
I bought a coat of Wellington of Bilmore. Trenchcoat material. Slim fit, .... dark green. Not double breasted. No big collar, no epaullets, no belt. I think, in terms of style it still belongs to the trench family. It elevates casual outfits, I feel fine in it and wear it often. Nevertheless I would also fancy a real classic light beige Trenchcoat like your one, Marie Anne! It looks great.
Bonsoir Marie Anne. I just adore trench coats. I bought one last year and its so stylish and very versatile. I agree 100% that it really elevates every outfit and I’m so happy I found the one that I really wanted which is a longer length as I’m 1m 67cm in height. I particularly loved the look you styled with that beautiful cream knit cardigan and tweed brown trousers with the trench on top.🧡🍁🍂
Marie Anne, I brought my first trench. Saved for ages. I’m petite but I decided to go with a long black trench. It’s a bit gothic and edgy. I love it. Thank for this video. Perfect
Hello Marie Anne I enjoy all you videos always something to learn. This evening I went out with my husband for dinner and I wore my pearls with a navy blue trousers and a black top. I feel feminine and my husband likes the new me. By the way I wore flat ballerinas Chanel too. Thanks to you I feel more beautiful xx
I love them all but the third outfit is the best, and wow! You certainly accomplished your goal! Ever see those old cartoons where the guy sees a girl and his eyes pop out with hearts and he goes "WOW", that was me right there. That trench coat looks great with all of those outfits, too. You have such an incredibly amazing sense of style all the time, I love it!
Bonjour Marie-Anne: I love a trench coat and yes I have one! It seems as though I have been wearing a trench coat for many years. It never goes out of style.❤
I have a black trench coat with detachable hood. I love wearing it buttoned and belted. It accentuates my small waist. Your outfit ideas are so attractive. Great video
I don't have a trench coat but I'm going to buy one now. :-) I can't decide which outfit I liked best, all where beautiful but I really love the sweater in outfit #2. I was also shopping my closet a few days ago and started purging it, I honestly forgot how many nice things I have. My closet is functional again and just in time for a new trench coat! Thank you Marie-Anne!
I forgot how to wear a trench coat because it doesn't fit me. And at the age of 25, I wore it and it looked good on me. I do not know what happened! Help! I am not petite..I am 1.74! But... Marie -Anne wears it perfectly, especially with a skirt. Black skirt I adore.That's just the way it is. Punto.🙂 PS. Marie Anne began to talk and sing a little. Change!👍🙂
Hi Marie-Ann, I love all your videos. Here in US, people dress very casually even going out. I have a few nice pearl strings which I seldom wear even when I go out so not to draw too much attention... What style should I choose for more casual and not a fancy dining out with a little touch of elegance not to look over dressed? I am 64 years old, my height is5'9'', weight 135ibs. Thank you.
What a wonderful life you made in Paris.. Great TH-cam channel. I so much admire your perfect taste. Thank you for opening ladies eyes to classic fashion. World Class ! Monna from across the pond. 🌹
What is a quality UK trench coat brand slightly lower price than Burberry? I want a British brand because the pound has drastically fallen against the dollar so, while I couldn't afford it last week, this week everything Brit is a bargain! Burberry Kensiington trench is $500 cheaper if you buy in the UK than US now!
Love your style! You look so elegant. I've tried on so many double-breasted trench coats, but they don't look as good on me as a single button. Being blonde, I also have to be careful of beige/gray colors. I have a Barbour (not the waxed, nor the sporty styles of the brand) in navy/dress that isn't double-breasted. It's a nice length and has a back cape similar to a regular trench. And, it's waterproof. I was thinking of taking it to Paris next year. Qui or non?
I love trench coats. They are perfect for an apple shape and for a Melbourne winter. I have 2, one unlined spring/autumn weight one and one heavier, fully lined winter one. If it’s quite cold I like to fill in the open front with a long cashmere scarf. Then I am nice and warm. I liked the way you showed bags with these outfits. I wish you would do that more often. I feel that a handbag gives the final polish to an outfit.
Grest video. All looks are beautiful but #2 is my favorite. I recently had a professional color analysis and learned that the black, bright white, and bright, intense colored clothes I’ve been wearing aren’t very flattering. I see in your video you have a lot of softer colored clothes such as grey, ivory, the lovely peachy sweater you showed with the plaid pants. Could you do a video with a softer neutral palette? Thanks. ❤
Bonjour Marie-Anne, I have just recently purchased a trench coat and guess what, it's a Hobbs, the same one but mine is in a pale green so still, a fairly neutral colour, I looked for ages online to find it it's a very good quality, you certainly get what you pay for, I have always had one, they never go out of fashion.
I recently purchased a trench coat so this video couldn't have come at a better time - thank you Marie-Anne! I absolutely love my new trench and will most definitely be dressing it the way you've advised. Merci!
How to pick the right size trench? I heard it should fit over a blazer, which might make it baggy if you don't wear a blazer. Also, if that is true, do manufacturers factor that into your normal size? Men usually wear trench coats over their suits.
Marie-Anne, you are the Queen of sustainability as well as style! As a result of watching your fabulous videos, I have discovered many new outfits in my wardrobe. Sometimes it is necessary to buy a new accessory or item of underwear to make the outfit work, but that is far cheaper than buying lots of new clothes. Also I choose any new clothes with greater care, so they will really work with my existing pieces. The French Chic philosophy is great for the planet!
I always admired the trench coats my granny and my uncle used to wear but somehow I never had one as an adult. Three years ago I finally got mine thanks to you and I simply adore it.
I think a trench coat is a basic and very necessary piece of clothing for any wardrobe. Few things are so versatile.
Here the tendency is being so underdressed that people stare at me when I walk on the street with my coat. Friends tell me that’s too elegant and formal but for me it is not.
But well such is life in…the tropics!😂
I seldom button my coats (live in a warm climate) so like the trick of tying the belt in back for a slimmer silhouette (and less likely to lose it).
I was so impressed how you have helped women in wheelchairs ❤❤
Thanks Marie-Anne, I’ve been kind of shy wearing my trench coat. I really like the way you accessorized it in your video, I am feeling motivated to use it more this fall. Your tips are such a blessing!!!

Yayyyyy Tez - would you share your chic with us? send me a selfie to info@marieannelecoeur.com 😘
Beautiful! Thank you
Great video, your second outfit was my favorite but you looked great in that last one!
Your the best style woman on you are nice too
Oh Marie-Anne:
I never thought about the thick belt. I love it! I will try it. I also like tying the belt in the back as well.
I don’t have a Trench Coat, BUT having seen how I could style one it’s something I will consider purchasing, good video Marie-Anne thank you.

I bought a hip length trench in green from Nordstrom. It still works at my age. But I think I'd like the more neutral beige in knee length.
Hello Marie-Anne! I have also a Trenchcoat in my wardrobe, but i wear him only for important dates! I wish you a very nice weekend! Ella

I would love to have a trench coat but I have been unable to find a single-breasted one. I have a large chest so double-breasted is not good for me.
I will not wear khaki; I look washed out/terrible in this color. I can wear navy or black. Trench coats in these colors are hard to find. The hunt is on!

Some outdoor brands do smart waterproof coats. Check out Ilse Jacobsen and other Scandinavian brands.
@@Elle_Gowing Those are cute!
I cannot understand how a trench coat could possible look frumpy. Somehow I suspect that even over pajamas to run out for the newspaper you wouldn’t, in fact couldn’t, look frumpy.

I think I've pretty much mastered most of the challenges of the apple shape (high-waisted slacks and jeans, color blocking, body-skimming fits, high-hip jackets that disguise the tummy while making my legs look longer, etc.), but I think the biggest problem with the trench coats has arisen from my extremely short waist. I usually don't wear belts for that reason; because it emphasizes the problem. Now that I'm thinking this through, I think a shorter coat would have the same problem, or possibly worse, because either would just cut me off in an unflattering place. Thanks for the opportunity to work through this. When I go shopping or talk to my friends, I always say "Bonjour French Chic Ladies suggests that I buy...". This always amuses them, and many of them ask how to find you online.
Just bought a traditional trench. I'm 70+ and 5'2". What should be the length?

I love it! I do not want to be "invisible in the frump". Thank you for styling the trench for different occasions. I never thought about styling an over coat. Thank you for expanding my styling mind.
I bought a coat of Wellington of Bilmore.
Trenchcoat material.
Slim fit, .... dark green.
Not double breasted.
No big collar, no epaullets, no belt.
I think, in terms of style it still belongs to the trench family.
It elevates casual outfits, I feel fine in it and wear it often.
Nevertheless I would also fancy a real classic light beige Trenchcoat like your one, Marie Anne!
It looks great.
Bonsoir Marie Anne. I just adore trench coats. I bought one last year and its so stylish and very versatile. I agree 100% that it really elevates every outfit and I’m so happy I found the one that I really wanted which is a longer length as I’m 1m 67cm in height. I particularly loved the look you styled with that beautiful cream knit cardigan and tweed brown trousers with the trench on top.🧡🍁🍂
FANTASTIC as always! Thank you so very very much!
Kindest regards and best wishes
God bless

Very good advice as usual Marie-anne. My trench is navy but I hardly wear it. I will now as it can look so chic. Merci x
I have 3 expensive ones (bulky when the zip out lining in in place) beige and red and a cheaper tight dark green (no lining).
Yes always have one. Even though I live in so California and it’s perfect for our winters.
Marie Anne, I brought my first trench. Saved for ages. I’m petite but I decided to go with a long black trench. It’s a bit gothic and edgy. I love it. Thank for this video. Perfect
I agree with you, let's elevate, no matter the age. It's just fun, and good overall. I love your 'walk in closet'!!!
You are so much fun!!!!! And full of great ideas. Let's not be" invisible in a sea of frump. "😊😊😊
😃👍
I have a nice London Fog trench
Wonderful as usual! I love all 3......I now have more ideas on how to wear my trenchcoat. Thank you Marie-Anne
Hello Marie Anne I enjoy all you videos always something to learn. This evening I went out with my husband for dinner and I wore my pearls with a navy blue trousers and a black top. I feel feminine and my husband likes the new me. By the way I wore flat ballerinas Chanel too. Thanks to you I feel more beautiful xx
I love them all but the third outfit is the best, and wow! You certainly accomplished your goal! Ever see those old cartoons where the guy sees a girl and his eyes pop out with hearts and he goes "WOW", that was me right there. That trench coat looks great with all of those outfits, too. You have such an incredibly amazing sense of style all the time, I love it!
@@MarieAnneLecoeur Hi! It's been a rough year, but I've been kind of burying myself in my work so to speak.
Bonjour Marie-Anne:
I love a trench coat and yes I have one! It seems as though I have been wearing a trench coat for many years. It never goes out of style.❤
Great selections,especially the date night option!
I have a black trench coat with detachable hood. I love wearing it buttoned and belted. It accentuates my small waist. Your outfit ideas are so attractive. Great video
I don't have a trench coat but I'm going to buy one now. :-) I can't decide which outfit I liked best, all where beautiful but I really love the sweater in outfit #2. I was also shopping my closet a few days ago and started purging it, I honestly forgot how many nice things I have. My closet is functional again and just in time for a new trench coat! Thank you Marie-Anne!
I forgot how to wear a trench coat because it doesn't fit me. And at the age of 25, I wore it and it looked good on me. I do not know what happened! Help! I am not petite..I am 1.74!
But... Marie -Anne wears it perfectly, especially with a skirt. Black skirt I adore.That's just the way it is. Punto.🙂
PS. Marie Anne began to talk and sing a little. Change!👍🙂
Hi Marie-Ann, I love all your videos. Here in US, people dress very casually even going out. I have a few nice pearl strings which I seldom wear even when I go out so not to draw too much attention... What style should I choose for more casual and not a fancy dining out with a little touch of elegance not to look over dressed? I am 64 years old, my height is5'9'', weight 135ibs. Thank you.
I really like the cream sweater with the French tuck.
What a wonderful life you made in Paris.. Great TH-cam channel. I so much admire your perfect taste. Thank you for opening ladies eyes to classic fashion. World Class ! Monna from across the pond. 🌹
What is a quality UK trench coat brand slightly lower price than Burberry? I want a British brand because the pound has drastically fallen against the dollar so, while I couldn't afford it last week, this week everything Brit is a bargain! Burberry Kensiington trench is $500 cheaper if you buy in the UK than US now!
Love your style! You look so elegant. I've tried on so many double-breasted trench coats, but they don't look as good on me as a single button. Being blonde, I also have to be careful of beige/gray colors. I have a Barbour (not the waxed, nor the sporty styles of the brand) in navy/dress that isn't double-breasted. It's a nice length and has a back cape similar to a regular trench. And, it's waterproof. I was thinking of taking it to Paris next year. Qui or non?
Thank you for this great video! Is a light blue classic trench outdated for Spring 2023?
My trench coat is beige with navy buttons and navy piping around the collar, cuffs etc. I love it, it was very inexpensive about 5 years ago.
I love trench coats. They are perfect for an apple shape and for a Melbourne winter. I have 2, one unlined spring/autumn weight one and one heavier, fully lined winter one. If it’s quite cold I like to fill in the open front with a long cashmere scarf. Then I am nice and warm.
I liked the way you showed bags with these outfits. I wish you would do that more often. I feel that a handbag gives the final polish to an outfit.
Grest video. All looks are beautiful but #2 is my favorite. I recently had a professional color analysis and learned that the black, bright white, and bright, intense colored clothes I’ve been wearing aren’t very flattering. I see in your video you have a lot of softer colored clothes such as grey, ivory, the lovely peachy sweater you showed with the plaid pants. Could you do a video with a softer neutral palette? Thanks. ❤
Bonjour Marie-Anne, I have just recently purchased a trench coat and guess what, it's a Hobbs, the same one but mine is in a pale green so still, a fairly neutral colour, I looked for ages online to find it it's a very good quality, you certainly get what you pay for, I have always had one, they never go out of fashion.
I just bought a used Burberry coat from thredup. It's something I will never get rid of so the price was worth it.
I recently purchased a trench coat so this video couldn't have come at a better time - thank you Marie-Anne! I absolutely love my new trench and will most definitely be dressing it the way you've advised. Merci!
tres chic!!!
How to pick the right size trench? I heard it should fit over a blazer, which might make it baggy if you don't wear a blazer. Also, if that is true, do manufacturers factor that into your normal size? Men usually wear trench coats over their suits.
Great to be in the trenches.
