Having been a style staple for well over a century, the trench coat has truly stood the test of time and we can totally see why. So much more than just a transitional cover-up, the wardrobe classic is practical, ultra-flattering and literally looks good with any outfit.

Whether you're heading to work, lunching with friends or going out out, a trench coat has got you covered. No matter the occasion, chic outerwear will make you look instantly put together with minimal effort involved. We’ll be wearing ours on repeat this season with a striped jumper, our fave jeans and trainers for an easy but effortless springtime fit.

While the classic camel or beige Mac remains a capsule wardrobe must-have, the trench coat doesn’t stop there. Like bomber jackets and cargo trousers, the catwalk has been no stranger to timeless outerwear. Recent seasons have seen the cover-up reimagined in fashion-forward faux leather and dutiful denim. While you can never go wrong with a versatile neutral hue, we’re enjoying refreshing our wardrobes and experimenting with cool runway-inspired styles.

Combining practicality and style, this beige longline option will be a great investment to see you through every season.

Dopamine dressing is essential for the darker months and this bold pink style will have your days brightened up in no time.

One of the biggest trends isn't going anywhere any time soon, so why not combine two classics with a denim trench coat?

Sometimes it's all about the details, and this coat comes with balloon-style sleeves and tortoise shell buttons to add something extra.

Add an extra layer of durability to your coats with a faux leather alternative. Not only do they keep you dry and protect against the cold winds, but they look great with anything that you pair them with.

Break away from beige with the soft pastel green trench coat from River Island. The maxi-length is not only great at elongating your silhouette but the belt effortlessly cinches in your waist.

Add a chic modern edge to the traditional piece by incorporating some colour blocking with contrasting colours.

Keep it cool, calm and collected with a beige wool blend trench coat. If you're a fan of the look, it's also available in camel and black.

This oversized khaki and cream coat is another winner in our eyes. Not only do the colours compliment one another well, but the belted details around the waist and cuffs take it to a new level.
