Bodenbuttontrench_2_1 As unlikely as it first sounds, spring is great for coats. We can finally wear all those impractical lightweight-but-really-pretty pieces of outerwear that we buy because we fall in love with the form, rather than the function. Indulge in a pretty spring trench like this 'Fun Button' coat from Boden for £79.  It's available in French blue, washed orange or the fabulously-named 'ketchup vintage vine' print shown in the picture.
