Trench Coats Are Go-To Garments For Unpredictable Early Spring Weather, So Here’s How To Style This Staple Piece And Make A Statement
Right now, we’re in that transitional point in the year where the winter begins fading into springtime, and temperatures are all over the place.
One day, it’s sunny and going up to 60 degrees, and a few days later, it’s cloudy and windy, and the temperature is in the high 30s.
Because of this temperature whiplash, we’re still keeping our favorite coats and jackets available to us, just in case. A great trench coat is one of the best things to wear on those chilly days.
If you have always wanted to buy a trench coat but were insecure about how to style it or have one that’s been sitting in your closet collecting dust, here are some cute ideas for you!
With your favorite work attire
One of the best parts about trench coats is how quickly they make you feel classy and sophisticated. That’s why they’re great to wear with your favorite work attire. Few things make a nice button-up blouse and trousers look more snazzy than a trench coat.
Pair it with a fun print or pop of color
Many people associate wearing trench coats with other neutral clothing, but that doesn’t have to be the case.
If you have a great top with a fun print or pattern and don’t want to take any attention away from it with a colorful or eye-catching jacket, use a trench coat! The neutral coat will help keep the attention on your top and bring your outfit together.

Dress it down
While trench coats are usually paired with more formal outfits, and we often see celebrities or public figures wear them with fancy clothes, they still look just as cool when paired with more casual outfits.
For instance, I love the look of a trench coat over jeans. It’s a fun contrast, and the neutral shades of a trench coat often complement denim.
When it doubt, wear heels
A classic, sophisticated look is wearing a trench coat and heels. Whether they’re kitten or six-inch heels, wearing them with a trench coat will make you feel like a million bucks.
So the next time you head out in a cocktail dress and heels or formal pants and heels, give your other jackets a break and throw on a trench coat to feel a bit more regal.
Play with fabrics and textures
Who said you can’t combine a trench coat with leather or silk? No one! If you have a great pair of leather pants or a leather bag, wear it with your trench coat. If there’s a silk scarf you’ve been dying to wear out, put it on over your trench coat.
Again, the neutrality of trench coats makes them a great base for fun, additional fabrics, prints, and textures, so don’t be afraid to mix and match.
Hopefully, this inspires you to finally buy the trench coat of your dreams or pull it out of your closet. Once you start having fun with this classic piece of outerwear, it will become a closet staple.
