Looking for a trench?

The classic trench is a double breasted coat in beige but there are many modern takes on the design, with many coming in a variety of shades and cuts, as well as single breasted, or duster designs, which are buttonless.

One thing’s for certain: a trench coat is as classy now as it was when Audrey Hepburn wore one in Breakfast at Tiffany’s so you know if you add one to your wardrobe, it’s never going out of style.

The ultimate transitional item to see you through seasons, a trench is a wardrobe must have.

In the autumn you can layer over jumpers, and even over a PVC trench with the collar poking out, which we have seen many people do, for a double layered look – and extra warmth, obviously.

In the spring you can wear with jumpers, t-shirts, and jeans, trainers, boots, or heels, and in the summer you may just want to loosely drape over your shoulders for when the chill starts to set in of an evening.

You can button up and belt up for a full fastened official look, keep unbuttoned but loosely tie at the front, or leave open with the belt fastened at the back, for an extra layer but to still give your body a great shape.

To help you find your perfect match, we’ve found the best trench coats that won’t cost a fortune.
