      1. Trench Coat + Stovepipe Jeans + Leather Flats

      **Style Notes:** A trench coat is a timeless piece for any season, but I believe it truly shines in spring. The best part? It requires just the simplest basics to look refined. In this case, a classic white tee, stovepipe jeans, and leather flats.
