Hi guys, it's been over a month since I said I would review Everlane's Swing Trench coat, but it's finally here (this one's for you Esther!). I originally decided to finally try out the Swing Trench (it's been in Everlane's lineup for quite some time now) when I saw their email campaign about it last month. I stayed away from it before because I used to have a trench of the same shape and it just wasn't really flattering on me unless I belted it. And well, this trench felt kinda eh as well.
But first the pros:
-The quality of the material is really nice. It feels durable and it's a nice thick material (which keeps its structure). I don't think it's water proof but probably water resistant.
-I like the details of the flap on the front and there's a hook at the collar in the front too (it's styling and details are similar to a Burberry trench that I have)
But the cons:
-It all comes down to fit for me. I think if you're taller or have longer legs the proportions might work out. But since I'm short and a pear shape, the A-line shape of the trench seems to add bulk. I just didn't like the shape of it (which might be a common thing because I see people reselling their Everlane's swing trench on ebay all the time).
I wasn't in love with it (unlike the Everlane's anorak which I adored) and with my limited closet space in the Airstream (and oh man I should take a picture of it because really it's a capsule wardrobe due to the sheer limitation in size), I don't have space for items I don't love. As usual, reviews are done on items I've purchased for myself and are not sponsored. Check out my other Everlane reviews here.
{edit: And I forgot to add, I ordered this in a size small}
