The Chicest Women in London Know That This Non-Black Bag Color Makes Trench Coats Look More Elegant

Okay, I love a black bag as much as the next person. In fact, I have a collection of them, too many of them to be exact. That said, as the fall uniform of a casual trench coat has come back in full force, making it look more elegant is going to take more than just a sleek black bag. What you’re going to need is something that makes more of a statement. What better way to look for inspiration than a stylish supermodel like Iris Law?

Recently, while out in London, the model was strolling around in a simple khaki green trench coat, layered over a gray hoodie, paired with black pants, and black booties. She accessorized with a vintage Chanel knit trapper hat and a stunning fiery red vintage monogram bag from Louis Vuitton. The pop of color is just what her plain trench coat needed to look more elegant. A black bag would’ve fit okay, but the pop of color made her entire outfit seem like she put in a ton of effort, which is the vibe that I’m going for. If you are too, keep scrolling through to re-create Law’s look and shop similar items.
