While trench coats were originally a utilitarian social symbol in the military, today, they have become a fashion staple in any wardrobe. The preppy midi beige, khaki or camel trench coat is a timeless piece in our spring-autumn wardrobe, with timeless sources of inspiration, including Audrey Hepburn drenched in the cold rain in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, curious detectives examining evidence, and Sophia Loren in The Key. Like April showers and May flowers, trench coats appear in droves of countless celebrities every spring, including Alexa Chung, Angelina Jolie, and Amal Clooney. But it never feels stale: this versatile staple inspires endless experimentation, while statement trench coats offer fresh styles with vibrant colors, textures, and volumes, as well as unexpected fabrics and embellishments. Next, take a look at 15 statement trench coats and experiment with a variety of colors, from denim to sheer to cherry red.
Blue Jean Baby
Two of Reformation’s most classic spring coat styles – the denim jacket and the trench coat – come together in one stunning piece. This semi-loose, casual coat is cool, a bit of a joke, and can be easily transformed by wearing it open or belting. We’re firm believers that denim is unisex, so it can be paired with anything from white mini dresses to jeans (we always like denim with more denim).
Slicked Back
This super smooth, glossy, high-gloss coating is reminiscent of molten liquids. The Simon Miller Bruer Coat looks almost hand-polished, with roomy sleeves, matching ties, and wide lapels. Not only is this statement trench coat weatherproof, it’s also fun to wear.
Petal Power
The Derek Lam 10 Crosby Lexis Trench Coat is elegant and lively, almost reminiscent of flower petals. Trendy details – including a mature bow on the sleeve and scarlet piping – make it even more beautiful. It’s certainly great to pair with a luscious spring dress, but it’s also cool with jeans and a ribbed tank top for a bit of contrast in texture and vibe.
Leather Look
Leather trench coats have appeared on numerous Spring 2024 runways, including Bottega Veneta and Burberry (trench coat OG), and have become a must-have for celebrities like Dua Lipa and Kendall Jenner. We love this well-cut Babaton New Tabloid Trench Coat, which comes with a detachable waistband for extra cinching. It’s vintage, but not old-fashioned, and it’s a sophisticated, more sophisticated alternative to the classic cotton trench coat.
‘Clueless’ Chic
While a little more understated than Cher Horowitz’s signature plaid set, this Tove Jacqui Trench is packed with a coquettish energy and is the perfect shade for spring. Pair it with your favorite buttery yellow accessory for a pop of monochromatic moments.
Metal Mania
Norma Kamali Double Breasted Trench to Floor是未来派的闪电。 Norma Kamali 以其独特的外套设计而闻名（她首创了睡袋外套），而这款风衣的戏剧性改造让人感觉非常太空妖怪的别致。
Cropped Out
We love the idea of cutting a wide, oversized classic unisex trench coat into a short and sweet one. The Pixie Market Cropped Beige Trench is full of subtle but effective details: double large lapels, camouflage buttons, epaulettes, and a simple belt. It’s a great option for those who want to stand out without stray too far from the full-length, timeless trench coat style.
Bright Lights, Big City
The Self-Portrait Sequin Coat is adorned with gleaming black sequins on every inch, perfect for being the center of attention at the party. It’s both dressy and warm, making it suitable for chilly spring nights, and it’s a stunning upgrade for slacks and t-shirts. If you really want to try it, you can also wear it as a drawstring dress with tights and/or a one-piece suit.
Fresh Cherries
Moody crimson is one of the most eye-catching colors for shoes, bags, and more this year, while the Naked Wardrobe Vinyl Trench Coat looks like freshly washed cherries. The high-gloss finish is mesmerizing, and the steel grey hardware details add a bit of contrast. It’s windproof, so it’s perfect for spring wear and can also be used well as an outer layer in the cooler months.
Mad About Plaid
Nichole Lynel On Watch Plaid Detail Trench: Two academic classics – the mid-character tweed and the trench coat silhouette – are brought together by this timeless and fresh manifesto that is not boring at all. Details are everything: we love the subtle back cut-outs and the colour-block feel. We’ll pair it with dark-wash jeans or trousers, a collared shirt and loafers for a preppy transitional weather look.
