“With its cool superiority and elegant simplicity, the trench coat is not only a symbol, no it is a promise. This coat stands for discretion, adventure, secrets, and a kind of low-key glamor. Intrigues and romances, curiosity and rainy weather. The big melodrama but also the underground. And always surrounded by an air of timelessness.”

Ahhhh, the trench coat. It’s everywhere it seems in all the Pinterest street style photos for Autumn and Spring and yet I find not enough people utilize her to the maximum like they can.
The trench coat, in my humble opinion, is a hero piece- a piece that is so versatile, such a staple and a garment that will carry you through in between weather and seasons for years to come. Rainy day? Throw on a trench. Mild day in San Francisco in July? Wear a trench. Want to look smart but want to wear jeans and a t-shirt? Add a trench coat for instant polish. Classic workwear attire for the corporate space? Throw on a trench AGAIN for the morning commute. Running to the corner store for a late night snack? Sweat pants, t shirt, UGG clogs and a trench and you could easily dash into a corner store/bodega or a bar for drinks and give casual cool girl vibes.
I wish more women and femmes embraced the trench coat- so I’ve come up with some fun finds linked below. The brilliant thing about a trench coat is that it’s so classic you can find them at any price point. Fast fashion brands like ASOS or MANGO or H&M have really fun, upbeat trendy versions you can try- and heritage brands like Burberry are known for their variations of the trench as a staple piece of their designer houses.
No matter your budget, try and see if a trench coat is the perfect addition to your closet or capsule wardrobe. I confess I slept on the trench for many years thinking she was quite boring and bland – only to discover there are so many ways to dress it up.
