One of the few good things about rainy weather is that you can get some real millage out of your trench coat. This spring the classic gets an update: Bright bold colours, shorter hems and an overall boxier silhouette.

I don't know about the rest of Canada, but this has been one of the rainiest springs I can remember in Toronto. Yes it sucks, but I'm sick of complaining about it. So why not embrace this Vancouver-esque weather and find a cheap trench coat in an optimistic bright hue to offset this dreary weather. I love this kelly green one from Winners, a total bargain for just $39.99. It reminds me of this jacket from the SS11 Jil Sander collection. This piece is certainly not for the colour averse but it's a great garment to give your wardrobe a taste of the colour blocking trend.

Available at Winners.
