Trench coats are a super versatile wardrobe staple, so we have created this guide on what to wear with a trench coat to help you style this piece for any occasion at any time of year!

A trench coat is a classic and timeless piece that has a long and rich history, first worn by British and French soldiers in the First World War before it became a ready-to-wear piece in the 1950s, famously worn by Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca, and later by women in the 1960s.

Burberry is the brand best known for its trench coats, and it has been perfecting the design, cut, and silhouette since the early 1900s to create the beloved trench coats that you can purchase today. Now, a trench coat is seen as an iconic piece that can add a touch of sophistication to any outfit.

If you are looking for some more ways to style your classic trench, then you are in the right place as we have brought together 10 outfits that show you what to wear with a trench coat. There are looks for any season and outfits that are perfect for work and casual weekends to illustrate the versatility of a trench coat. So let’s get started on some new, gorgeous trench coat outfits!

What To Wear With A Trench Coat

1. Jeans + T-Shirt

If you have a beige trench sitting in your wardrobe, pair it with neutral tones to create a polished and refined outfit. Here, the long trench has been styled with a white skirt and a taupe mini skirt, but you could opt for taupe pants if the weather is a little cooler. Accessorise with a black handbag, sneakers, and a beige cap to perfectly finish off this look.
