Hi pretties! 💕
There are so many styles of trench coats to choose from. They can be cropped, oversized, or belted. There’s also the timeless Burberry-inspired classic. My personal favorite? The classic trench coat — effortless, elegant, and endlessly versatile.
It’s one of those wardrobe staples that can carry you through every season and occasion. You might be dressing up for work. Perhaps you’re heading out for coffee. Maybe you’re strolling on a breezy spring day. A trench coat adds polish to any outfit.
Here are four ways I love to style my trench coat. I use affordable and accessible pieces. These prove you don’t need a designer price tag to look chic.
Look 1: The Classic
For the first look, I kept it timeless and sophisticated. I paired a black tank dress with classic slingbacks, my trench coat, and a structured handbag.
This outfit is perfect for the office, dinner dates, or days when you want to look put-together without overthinking it. The coat adds instant structure and polish while keeping everything sleek and monochromatic.

Look 2: The Classic New Englander
I call this one The Classic New Englander. It reminds me of old-money coastal style. It is timeless, polished, and a little preppy.
I layered my trench coat over a crisp oxford shirt. I paired it with black skinny pants. Then I added loafers for a classic finishing touch. The structured pink handbag brings a pop of color and softens the outfit perfectly.

Look 3: Casual Spring & Summer
For a lighter, more casual vibe, I styled my trench coat for warmer weather. I paired it with a black striped tee, black shorts, and my go-to Converse sneakers. A black Marc Jacobs bag dupe completes the look.
This outfit feels very “British summer” to me. It is cozy enough for cool mornings. It is also casual and comfortable for sunny afternoons.

Look 4: The Autumn/Winter Look
For the colder months, I wanted something warm, cozy, and classic. I styled a sweater dress with riding boots. I added my furry Marc Jacobs Tote Bag dupe. Of course, I used my trench coat to pull everything together.
It’s the perfect outfit for crisp fall mornings, winter errands, or cozy days when you still want to feel stylish.
