Trench coats are timeless. That’s a fact. What started out as military menswear and quickly transformed into a low-key, universal and unisex staple has well and truly made its mark on the fashion world. It’s here to stay, and we’re happy about it.
If you’ve never invested in a trench before, now might just be the time to do it. With lots of variation and cool twists on the style available to buy, there’s plenty of scope to pick a fit that’s right for you. We love this Mid-Length Single-Breasted Trench Coat in beige as a top notch addition to your outerwear arsenal, whether it’s your starter trench or you’re a seasoned pro.
Let’s talk about how to style it up...
Practical Parisian
Trench coats can be really appealing to those of us who take an elegant and classic approach to the way we dress. Go all out Parisian with an iconic Breton, then pair it with some Levi 511s for instant style you can rely on. We love these skinnies for their clean cut and denim options – so many shades! We’d recommend the dark blue of High Roller to continue that French feel. Finally, slip on some low heeled ballet flats and you’re ready to roll. Silk neck scarf and red lip, optional.
Feeling Formal
If there’s an occasion to dress for or you just fancy feeling smart, try tucking a simple, soft button-down into some wide-leg wool-mix trousers - we love the flattering pleating on these. Matching wardrobe staples like this expertly walks the line between feminine and masculine. Add some sturdy leather heels for comfort and a shoulder bag.
Leather and Lace
Mixing up your textures adds an edge to a girly look, so try blending soft with smooth. Start out tough with this leather mid-length pencil skirt, just the right length to peak out from the bottom of your trench. Then, add something cute and preppy with this Peter Pan collar blouse, layered under the softest of cashmere sweaters in a light grey marl. Chuck Taylor’s and bare legs keep this look light and casual.
