How To Style A Trench Coat

First – should you have a trench coat as a closet staple? When the winter weather starts blending into spring you need a coat that is light weight, provides some warmth and if it’s waterproof, all the better. The trench coat is the coat you need and the iconic profile can also elevate any outfit you have on. We really enjoy finding clothes and styling outfits that are right for the current season and can also take you into the next one. The Trench Coat is a great example of that. Today we are sharing a round up of Trench Coats we found and the outfits we styled with them.
