"  Even though temperatures are finally and thankfully settling into a more Summer-appropriate range, if you&amp;#039;re like I am and can&amp;#039;t break the habit of slipping on another layer before you walk out the front door each morning, you&amp;#039;re in luck, as the selection of uniquely cut, lightweight toppers has never been more impressive.  The trench is a perennial favorite among most women (few styles complement a figure as universally as a just-above-the-knee hem or cinched waist, both of which the traditional trench offers), but if you&amp;#039;ve already ticked this classic off your wardrobe to-have list, why not opt for something similar but with a flared, funnel or subtly folded-over neckline? Or maybe change up the length, color (love the graphite), or sleeve style? Here below are a few of my current favorites, the price points of which range from $68 to the all too familiar price upon request. Enjoy the 100% humidity\u2014I certainly am!
