Crisp sunshine, vibrant blooms, playful wardrobe; spring is momentous for its art of seduction. As much as a trench coat is conceded as a best friend for winter, there’s no reason why it can’t slip through the warmer months. Especially when it circles around the core spring 2011 trends and gets a refreshing twist in its fabrication and cut.

Dhini‘s spring 2011 collection features one such cleverly designed spring trench made with 100% lightweight silk. The intriguing concept of sheer panels gliding vertically along the side of the body makes the look cheeky and fun. The plunging neckline, silk belt and feminine silhouette are held charge for making this elegant trench-dress a wearable classic. But a sturdy collar and contrasting wrist straps reaffirm its position as a serious trench.

For the daring lot, it’s best worn as a stand-alone outfit teamed with lacy lingerie, but the non-adventurous kind may adhere to its literal meaning and wear it just as a ‘coat’.
