Versatile, practical and lightweight to layer, the best trench coats are so much more

than transitional heroes:  they’ll see you through almost every situation, in any season.

And given how temperamental the UK weather is right now, there's no better item to invest in.

Still, when you’re spending money on a capsule classic,

you need to think smart: invest in something with longevity,

but don’t be afraid of subtle twists or playful details.

From leather and cowhide styles, to pretty satin and tulle designs,

we’ve rounded up the best trench coats that are both timeless

and on-trend at the same time.
