How To Style This Season’s Trench Coat

We love a new season hero piece. Whether it’s a statement fall knit or a pair of chunky stomper boots, the change of season is the perfect time to experiment with trends. But if you’re looking to commit to a piece that offers long-time appeal there’s one wardrobe piece that promises to last a lifetime: the trench coat. A favourite of Japanese girls, a trench coat is a staple transitional item and if you invest well, is guaranteed to last a lifetime.

Before you invest, we’ve looked into our favorite Japanese bloggers to see all the different styles to buy and how to style them this fall.

Go For A Tonal Colour

Trench coats often come in versatile, tonal colours, think black, gray and neutrals, which make them effortlessly easy to style and pair with other items in your wardrobe. Try styling a matching-coloured dress or top with your trench for a cool, monotone look.

Pair With A Skirt

Trench coats are masculine by nature, which makes them the perfect pairing for feminine pieces like a flowing maxi skirt, which stop the look from becoming too girly. Try a billowing maxi dress layered with a sweater and a pair of white sneakers, adding a tonal-coloured trench for a look that is effortlessly cool.

Masculine Styling

A longline trench is the perfect companion for loose tailoring. We love baggy, oversized tailored pants paired with slides and a trench for a look that screams streetwear chic. Add some cool accessories like a cap or an oversized clutch for extra style points.
