Never waffle over whether or not to buy a trench coat. Pull out your credit card or empty your pockets, pronto. Like a little black dress or a coveted pair of jeans, the trench will never let you down. Right now, a gorgeous black trench by maestro Rick Owens is on sale at netaporter.com for $647.50. This asymmetrical coat with a large back vent will be your sartorial salvation on days when everything in your closet seems bland.

Pair it with slacks and a sweater or even throw it over an outfit that looked better 5 pounds ago -- wink-wink. I love that this trench marries tradition with danger. The ruffles at the lapel remind me of black roses.

FYI: Almost anything by designer Rick Owens will always hold its value. His creations are coveted by fashion editors, stylists and the most fashion forward. Trust me: You’ll always feel fierce in this trench.
