When it comes to wardrobe staples, pieces like the little black dress, classic white tee and even the oversized blazer get all the sartorial glory. In our opinion, it’s the iconic trench coat that we can’t live without.
A trans-seasonal pillar, the classic trench is lightweight enough to be worn on cooler spring evenings while also making for the perfect outer layered over knits when the chill sets in.
Then, of course, there’s the power a trench has to elevate the simplest of outfits in an instant.
Recently, Matrix-esque leather trenches have become the coat of choice amongst the celebrity set from Balenciaga’s deep burgundy snake print to classic patent finishes. We’re also seeing a rise in denim trench coats paired over monotone ensembles or with jeans for a cohesive look.
Whether you’re after a classic double-breasted or something more on-trend, the trench is a wardrobe investment you’ll never regret.
We’ve rounded up the best trench coats to shop in Australia right now, below.
