If you are looking for spring style inspo, Malia Obama once again has you covered. Days after stepping out wearing a perfect slouchy carryall, she is back at it again, this time with an outfit that combines equally versatile transitional pieces.
Over the weekend, Malia Obama was seen roaming the streets of LA wearing a wardrobe staple we should all have when spring rolls around: a beige trench coat. The classic British piece, which has reached international appeal thanks to brands like Burberry, is the perfect between-seasons coat, light enough for a sunny day but warm enough to layer with and often waterproof for a rainy day.
As mentioned above, the trench coat is often associated with British heritage style, and though preppy dressing is back in style, Obama gave her trench a modern twist, pairing it with more playful silhouettes and pops of color.
Under the beige coat, the budding filmmaker wore a white tank top, a maroon checkered skirt with an unpicked hem, and a pair of sold-out burgundy calf boots from Free People. The star added another texture level with a plaid green slingback bag from SSENSE's collaboration with SC103.
Over the past few weeks, Malia Obama has shown her penchant for wardrobe staples with her outfits — rocking staples like leather coats, both brown and black, over boots and jeans. This latest look shows she's ready for warmer weather, and you could be too.
The good thing about trench coats is that they are not only timeless but also super easy to find secondhand — that is if you don't already own one. If Obama's ‘fit is inspiring you, a trip to your nearest thrift shop or flea market might just give you what you are looking for, but if for some reason you can’t, we have rounded some of our favorite options below:
