Spring 2021: 15 Terrific Trench Coats

{ Via: Vogue }

The trench coat has long been a staple in a woman or man's wardrobe. It is one of the most versatile pieces you could ever own.  As Tim Gunn often says, "you can wear it to the grocery and to the opera." This edit features chic classics for 

all budgets.

Simone Rocha for H & M

Today, March 11th is the debut day of this collection online at H & M. It's all very ethereal and a bit childlike. This oversized trench with puff sleeves could be a little more normal with a different outfit. I like the details!

H & M

Kerin Trench

From his "collection." This chic coat is a standout. It's on sale but still very expensive, and looks it. It's trimmed in lambskin, features horn buttons, and trapunto stitching.

Ralph Lauren

Ashley Vegan Leather Coat
Vegan is taking over genuine leather this season, for so many reasons. The good VG feels and looks like the real. Staud's styles are above the rest. Love everything about this coat including the great button details.

Staud Clothing

Caped Cotton Trench

If you love a coat with a couture touch, here you go. It is such a good look!

Rebecca Taylor or Bergdorf Goodman

Twill Trench
When life gives you lemons, make a lemon trench. This terrific topper and its' happy color, will make a rainy day right.

Ann Taylor

Blake Pleated Trench

With details to die for, this coat has chic written all over it. The pleats give the style an unexpected femininity.

Lafayette 148 New York

Colorblock Belted Trench

This budget buy has a whole lot of style for less than $100. Love that it is all cotton. 

Shein

The Hazel Trench

Such pretty details. That cut out collar goes all around the back, as well. Gorgeous in gaberdine. It's a lot of look for under $400.

Sea NY or Moda Operandi

Mermaid Print Trench

You'll have to click through to see the mermaid reference on the back of the coat. A fabulous coat IF you have an entire trench collection. Not practical if not, but I love it. 

Burberry

Garment Dyed Lightweight Trench

Throw on and go. This is the style you may want if you are not into cinched in waists. The garment dye technique makes the coat extra soft with multidimensional color. 

J. Crew

Draped Trench

Basic and simple sans hardware. The cuff ties are really good. Not to mention how practical the color black is.

Michael Kors

Faux Suede Topper
Perfect for these transitional days. This machine wash coat will surely not mind a drop of rain or two. Now on sale for less than $75.

Chicos

Eda Silk Trench

This chic coat makes an entrance wherever you wear it. Loving the oversized collar and pockets. Dressier than most, and that's why I like it.

DVF

The Maxwell Trench Coat
This is how you style a classic coat with Bohemian flair. The maxi length is my favorite.

Free People

Sportmax Raincoat

Not a trench but used for the same purpose. It's so unique, I just had to include it in the edit. Love the fullness of it, especially in back.
