20 Trench Coats You’ll Wear Forever
This season, the classic has been reimagined in a variety of luxe textures and contemporary shapes—that still feel perfectly timeless.
Certain styles will always be considered staples—straight-leg jeans, white T-shirts, cashmere sweaters, perfectly tailored blazers—but that doesn’t mean they need to be boring. Take the trench coat, for example: Created sometime around the mid to late 1800’s, this perfectly practical piece has maintained its sense of utilitarian consistency for centuries. But over the years, plenty of designers have given the trench their own spin, rendering it in unexpected fabrics, playing with proportion, or going wild with color and texture. This season is no exception: some of our favorites include a luxe satin version from Blumarine, a classic number from Burberry and a fabulous chocolate brown leather piece from the Row. Looking for a more traditional gabardine that’ll keep you dry on rainy days? There are plenty of those, too—we love the standouts in various shades of neutral from Alexander Mcqueen, Toteme, Balenciaga and Khaite. See all of our top picks below.
