Damson Madder’s Anja coat is at the top of our wishlist.
There’s a reason the trench coat remains fashion’s most dependable outerwear reference point. It’s popular, practical and endlessly open to reinterpretation.
But each season, only one version really cuts through the sartorial noise. As we look ahead to spring, Damson Madder has delivered yet another essential piece of outerwear: an adorable trench.
At first glance, the Anja coat offers a familiar framework – a classic trench silhouette, mid-calf length, belted waist and subtly structured shoulders. Look closer, though, and it becomes obvious why it’s resonating: it’s all about that reversible design, which is something of a Damson Madder signature these days.
One side is a honey-toned gingham for when you’re in the mood to dress up your classic neutrals. Pair it with a plain black dress and your favourite mules to make a throw-on ensemble feel like an entire event. Turn it inside out, and the coat becomes a saturated red – graphic and unapologetic – the kind of colour that has been asserting itself on runways from Miu Miu to Bottega Veneta. Wear the ruby-red side with jeans and a grey cashmere knit to nail Parisian It girl style instantly.
It’s this brilliant duality that speaks to how people are dressing now. There’s an appetite for clothes that adapt to mood and context with a swift ease. A trench that can read understated one day and editorial the next makes sense when wardrobes are more tightly edited than ever. It feels right wherever practicality is a non-negotiable, but personal style still matters.
The details are sharp, not fussy: buttoned pockets work on both sides, there’s a detachable belt with a small integrated pouch, and the shower-proof organic cotton holds its own against real weather.
Trench coats have been a quiet constant on the celebrity circuit this season, with Teyana Taylor and Zoë Kravitz stepping out in jewel-toned iterations from Yves Saint Laurent’s latest collection.
So, what are you waiting for? It’s practically guaranteed to be a sell-out, so grab yours while you can.
