Fabrics, colours, and patterns come and go, but in the outerwear [1] world, a handful of silhouettes truly withstand the test of time. One of our all-time favourites? Trench coats. Elevated, flattering, and easy to style and layer with [2], they're an essential in anyone's closet — women, men, kids, you name it. If you're looking to add one to your wardrobe, Banana Republic [3] has some amazing options to consider.
Although a long, tan coat might be the first image to pop into your head when you hear the word "trench," there are a variety of other ways to wear the style. These range from cropped cuts to functional fabrics (i.e. weather-proof or less-structured options) to whole rainbow of colours or patterns (plaid is a popular choice, in particular). Want to see what we're talking about — and even score some styling inspiration [4] in the process? Just keep scrolling. Ahead, we're spotlighting a handful of the best trench coats you can buy, plus fashionable ways that our favourite bloggers, editors, and influencers are styling them.
