How to Style a Trench Coat

Trench coats are timeless and classic. So, if you’re looking for a jacket that won’t go out of style, you’ll want to invest in a good trench coat ASAP. They’re a springtime staple, meaning there’s no better time than now to expand your closet’s coat selection. While a chic trench coat looks great on its own, you don’t want what’s underneath to be boring and drab. Here are some tips on how to style a trench coat: Trench London The Queen When it comes to coats, finding one that accentuates your shape is like hitting the jackpot. Try Trench London’s The Queen if you want to look stylish and slim in your spring jacket. Its cut gives the piece structure, and the belt snatches you in at just the right spot. The double-breasted closures are faux horn buttons, giving the piece a military feel. You can’t go wrong with a coat from Trench London. Mackage McKenna Trench Is there anything better than clothes that can transform before your eyes? Check out Mackage’s Mckenna Trench. This coat features zips across the middle and to each shoulder so that you can choose whether you want to wear it short, long, or sleeveless. The versatility is truly unmatched! Aside from its length customization, it also features a belt so you can fit it to your body specifically. L’Agence Tyler Blouse Once you decide on your trench, you’re going to want an amazing outfit underneath. Start with L’Agence’s Tyler Blouse. But instead of going with a solid color, try the camo print. It’s made of silk charmeuse, so you won’t have to worry about being uncomfortable under your trench coat. When you get inside and it’s time to reveal your outfit, you’ll still be getting compliments. L’Agence Wanda High-Rise Crop Wide Leg Pair your camo blouse with L’Agence’s Wanda High-Rise Crop Wide Leg jeans. They’re the perfect high-rise and have a contoured waistband that smooths and slims your waist. Better yet—they’re made from super-stretch denim, so they’re as comfortable as they are trendy. And they’re perfect for everyday wear and can be worn with the shoes of your choice. Whether you’re wearing your trench coat or not, you’ll be turning to these jeans time and time again. Diane Von Furstenberg Prita Dress We already mentioned how trench coats are a spring staple. And what else goes synonymously with the season? Florals! If you’re feeling flirty and feminine, wear Diane Von Furstenberg’s Prita Dress under the trench of your choice. This relaxed silk T-shirt dress is comfortable and breezy. When your trench coat is black or khaki, this dress is a welcome pop of color. Halston Fay Jersey Twist Midi Dress For those who want something a tad sexier under their trench coat, try Halston’s Fay Jersey Twist Mini Dress. Made from Halston’s signature stretch jersey, this midi dress is defined by its plunging neckline and knotted waistband. Once you go to hang up your jacket, you’ll be sure to turn heads. And because the material is light and skims your silhouette, you’ll feel amazing all night long. Pair it with a stiletto or block heel. Self-Portrait Textured Off Shoulder Midi Dress Are you looking for a dress to wear to your next spring event? We love Self-Portrait’s Textured Off Shoulder Midi Dress. This red textured midi dress is designed with a flattering sweetheart neckline and a gathered wrap bust detail. Its full pleated skirt falls a few inches above the ankle and will have you feeling like the star of the evening. Try pairing this one with Mackage’s McKenna Trench at its shortest length, so you don’t have to worry about the fullness of the skirt. Polo Ralph Lauren Cable-Knit Short-Sleeve Sweater Though we all love springtime, we know how tricky the weather can be. Polo Ralph Lauren’s Cable Knit Short-Sleeve Sweater is a no-brainer underneath a trench coat. It’s made from soft cable-knit cotton, so it’s perfect for those fluctuating spring temperatures. And it’s casual yet refined—you can wear it virtually anywhere. You will be happy you got your hands on this spring sweater! Frame The Jetset Skinny Crop When you want to go for a casual look while wearing your Polo Short-Sleeve Sweater, we suggest pairing it with Frame’s The Jetset Skinny Crop. These jeans probably get their name because they’re so easy to travel and move around in. They’re made from organic cotton stretch fabric and have a high-rise waist for ultimate comfort. Your mind might even trick you into thinking that you’re wearing leggings and not denim! Finish off the look with a slip-on sandal or low-top sneakers. Dolce Vita Caster H20 Boot Since trench coats are typically great rainy day jackets, you’ll need a stylish pair of rain boots to complete your outfit. Enter Dolce Vita’s Caster H20 Boot. What makes them different than your typical rainboot? They feature a 3 ½” heel. That means you get a waterproof shoe with a rubber outsole without compromising on style! L’Agence Eloise Pump Heel If you want a cohesive outfit from head to toe, try wearing L’Agence’s Eloise Pump Heel with your trench coat, L’Agence camo blouse, and wide-leg cropped jeans. These pointed-toe pumps have a camouflage print that will tie your whole look together. And the good thing about a traditional camo print is that it can sometimes serve as a neutral. Use them to dress up any outfit underneath your trench coat. Though you may be in camo, you won’t be blending in anywhere! PP48 Sohosocks W When comfort is your main priority, you’ll probably turn to a good pair of sneakers. We love PP48’s Sohosocks W. These black and white sneakers are modern and approachable and look great when worn with your Trench London Queen jacket. Unlike your typical leather sneaker, the Sohosocks W features tweed sides.
