When it comes to timeless fashion investments, the trench coat is up there with the best of them. The quintessentially British outerwear has long stood the test of time, and its appeal is showing no signs of waning—particularly during springtime.
With increasingly changeable weather, a trench coat is a must for mornings that may start with blue skies, but by the time you arrive at the office, have turned a nasty shade of grey, complete with unrelenting rain. So yes, it's little wonder that fashion types have been wearing their trusty trenches on repeat these last few weeks.
Because we like to pay attention to the sartorial goings-on around town, we've noticed that certain trenches are trending right now. From those with unexpected pops to colour to vinyl finishes (and even trench coats sans sleeves), we've found the styles that are proving increasingly popular yet somehow are still in stock.
Keep scrolling to see and shop the trending trench coats of 2020, and rest assured you'll be stylishly prepared for whatever the weather can throw at you.
