There are always those pieces in your closet that no matter what your mood is beforehand, the second you put it on, it acts as an immediate mood-booster, making you look and feel good. For me, that piece right now is a leather trench coat. I purchased one this past spring at a vintage shop, and let’s just say I’ve been waiting all summer to put it to use. Whether it’s over a pair of sweatpants or a knit dress, the Matrix-inspired coat will have anyone looking put-together, even if you just rolled out of bed. (Trust me—I’ve tried it.)
