If there is one garment that’s most synonymous with spring, it’s got to be the trench coat. It’s one of those pieces that transcends all eras in fashion and integrates seamlessly into any wardrobe, while maintaining an undeniable presence.

You might remember the Fern Trench by Only Child, a long-standing Style Bee favourite, from this review post last year. It continues to be a staple within my spring closet, so I thought that it might be fun to revisit this unique piece one year on and share a quick styling session!

Only Child pieces always have something special to them and the Fern Trench is no exception. For all the details that make it worthy of long-term wardrobe residency, please take a peek at this post.
