10 Ways to Wear a Trench Coat
More than a rain layer — a trench coat can anchor outfits across three seasons once you stop saving it for bad weather.
Belted over jeans and a tee for an elevated casual look.
Over a dress for a transitional-season outfit.
With trousers and a blouse for the office.
Open over a sweater and jeans.
Belted over a slip dress for evening.
With leggings and boots for a relaxed weekend look.
Over a suit-style set for a polished, layered look.
Draped over the shoulders rather than worn, over a simple outfit.
With shorts in warmer transitional weather.
Over a turtleneck and jeans for a sleek fall outfit.
A trench coat reads as "finished" the same way a blazer does — when an outfit feels unfinished, adding a trench often solves it faster than changing what's underneath.
