Spring is almost upon us and here in Toronto, this usually means about 3 weeks of semi-warm, "can't go without a jacket weather", before the summer heat kicks in.
But, and this part is important, you MUST be prepared for this time.
And by prepared, I mean, you have to own a classic trench...particularly if you are a working woman.

My favorite above has to be the leather-trimmed version by Jacob. It's classic but with an edge which I always love.
