Trench coats are one of the most versatile outwear pieces [1] you can own. They're lightweight enough for fall [2], but can layer up to last through colder months. Much like a stylish bag or boot, a trench can transform even a basic sweatsuit and sneakers [3] into a pulled together look. They work with everything from basics to dresses and are purchases you can hold on to for seasons to come. If classic khaki's not your thing, try a statement version in prints like check or plaid or a luxe texture like vegan leather [4]. We pulled together some of our favourite styling ideas to get inspired, and a few picks to shop alongside.
