Luxe vs. Less: The Satin Trench


Leave it to the daring geniuses at Dolce & Gabbana to design the sexy red satin trench you see on the left. It's hot alright, but the $1,295 pricetag is a big turn-off. Fortunately, budget babes can get in on the fun, too—Bebe's red satin trench on the right is just $129. Steamy!

Luxe: D&G Dolce & Gabbana short belted trench coat, $1,295
Less: Bebe satin trench coat in cerise, $129

Great find! The color is spot on.

Also, if you like the idea of a satin trench but want a more basic color, Forever 21 now has a black version for $29.80:
