The Timeless Jacket Trend Every Stylish Woman in London Owns at Least One Of
I'll be well into my trip to London this time next week, so naturally, I've been browsing the Instagram accounts of every chic person in Great Britain in an attempt to decide what to pack. My consensus? As long as I have a single-breasted trench coat (preferably from Burberry), I'll fit right in.
As London is one of the original homes of the trench coat and a place where it rains a lot, no one, myself included, should be surprised that the utility-meets-style essential is popular among locals. However, I can't be the only person who has noticed a significant uptick in sightings of single-breasted styles as opposed to the classic double-breasted trench coats—correction: mac coats—I'm accustomed to seeing every time I touch down at Heathrow. They're suddenly everywhere on stylish influencers as well as the celebrity set.
Following the Grammy nominations being announced, Olivia Rodrigo—who spends a good chunk of her time in London with British actor Louis Partridge—went to Instagram to commemorate the moment. (Rodrigo continued her run from last year's Grammys with a whopping six nominations, including Producer of the Year and Songwriter of the Year.) In the photos, she can be seen riding a bike through the yellow leaf lined streets of London wearing none other than a Burberry car coat. With the staple outerwear, she added olive-green gloves and a matching Burberry scarf wrapped around her head.
Chic Londoners Monikh Dale and Lucy Williams are also frequenting this one trench-coat silhouette, styling it with an easy white tee and slip skirt (Dale) and a black sweatsuit and sneakers (Williams). Clearly, this jacket has range.
If you're feeling as hyped as I am to add a single-breasted trench coat to your wardrobe this season, you're in the right place. Scroll down to shop some of the best options on the market right now, from Zara to Burberry.
