9 seriously chic trench coat outfit ideas courtesy of the street style set
Nothing screams, “Ooh she’s mysterious,” like a good trench coat. Usually made of waterproof twill, leather, canvas, cotton, silk, or wool, this type of coat is seasonless but looks especially amazing in autumn and spring when spontaneous showers call for lighter layers. There are plenty of trendy designs these days, but at the core, trench coats are known for having storm flaps, belts, wide lapels, pockets and double-breasted silhouettes.
This coat style has been a closet staple for ages and learning how to style it is a sure fire way to amp up your fashion game. There are so many chic combinations (midi trench with a midi skirt, anyone?) and I’ve got the street style inspo and links for where to shop to prove it. Ahead, channel your inner Sherlock Holmes or Nancy Drew with these fabulous trench coat outfits.
