Y’all know the trench coat is one of my absolute must-have wardrobe basics! It’s the key to so many of my capsule wardrobes, and is an item that adds instant polish to truly any look. They’re useful for every lifestyle, whether you’re a 9-to-5er, a world traveler, or a mom not the go! A trench will protect your clothes and add a chic layer for your commute to work. A neutral trench is incredibly versatile and can be styled so many ways, which makes it ideal for travel when you don’t want to overpack! And finally, a trench can be such a cool way to dress up even your most street-style-friendly athleisure look for errands and school pickup. Don’t sleep on the trench coat!
THE BEST TIMELESS TRENCH COATS
Over the years I’ve gravitated towards different styles, from more buttoned up Burberry looks to more relaxed drape-neck styles from Club Monaco… but one thing remains true: neutral trenches are classic staples that stand the test of time. If you don’t have one hanging in your closet, springtime is the time to buy one! Don’t miss five of my favorite timeless trench styles for spring 2024 below:
- If you prefer a more modern look, this Anine Bing trench is oh so sleek. The gold buttons add a glam touch, which is ideal for transitioning from day to night wear with ease. It’s very oversized, so I would size down at least one size!
- This Club Monaco trench features a double-breasted silhouette in a more relaxed, drape-y fabric… the best of both worlds! This would be my pick for the jet setters out there. The perfect piece for styling with ponte pants or jeans and sneakers or flats!
- Looking for something more feminine? The embroidery on this trench is absolutely gorgeous!
- This By Malene Birger trench is incredibly classic, but features fun cuffs you can style two different ways! Tighten the closure for a more ruffled look, or leave relaxed for a flare. Chic!
- On a budget? Don’t miss this designer-inspired pleated black trench from H&M!
