I've Tried on So Many High-Street Trench Coats—These 9 Come Editor-Approved
Trench coats are a staple in so many capsule wardrobes, and I've searched through all the new-in styles to find the very best on the high street.
The capsule wardrobe is a term you’ll often find fashion people talking about. If you’ve ever wondered how some people are able to consistently create polished looks without the need for a mass of different pieces, it’s likely that they have a sturdy selection of basics to rely on. Whether mixed and matched with each other or paired with bolder trending styles, the capsule wardrobe sets the foundations of great dressing. Within the curated collection of trusted staples sits the trench coat.
Undeniably refined in look, the trench coat has proven itself as the dependable staple for rain or shine. Whether layered over an elegant dress, paired with sleek tailoring, or thrown over a simple jeans and T-shirt look, this coat will rise to any occasion. In my personal collection, you’ll find two trench coats that I rotate between. One is a classic camel Burberry trench, an investment that has served my wardrobe for over a decade, and is sure to continue featuring in my looks for years to come. The other is a great high street buy snapped up on a shopping trip two years ago. With classic design details, the trench coat has an innately polished design, which in turn means that you can find a series of elevated styles at affordable prices.
