When it comes to wardrobe staples, pieces like the little black dress, classic white tee and even the oversized blazer get all the sartorial glory. In our opinion, it’s the iconic trench coat that we can’t live without.
A trans-seasonal pillar, the classic trench is lightweight enough to be worn on cooler spring evenings while also making for the perfect outer layered over knits when the chill sets in.
Then, of course, there’s the power a trench has to elevate the simplest of outfits in an instant.
Whether you’re after a classic double-breasted or this season’s Matrix-esque leather trend, the trench is a wardrobe investment you’ll never regret.
