Jane Aldridge Designs for Gryphon And 12 More Great Trenches

Arielle

Jane Aldridge has accomplished a lot in her young career. Designing a collection of shoes for Urban Outfitters and appearing in StyleCaster’s site relaunch video are only a few of her marks on the industry thus far. Taking her career to the next level, Jane and her mom designed a unique trench coat in collaboration with Gryphon. The adorable bell sleeves add an avant-garde edge to an otherwise predictable design.

Jane’s not the only one that has us hooked on a unique trench; we fell in love with Scott Schuman’s online campaign, Art-of-the-Trench, shot for Burberry at the end of ’09.

To go along with our trench obsession, here are our top 12 picks of great trenches from around the style web to take inspiration from the next time you have to update your classic:
