Three Ways to Style a Trench Coat
I’m all about investing in classic items and the trench coat is top of my list. You literally cannot go wrong with a good quality trench coat, it’s a must-have staple item for everyone’s wardrobes. Whether you heading to work, dressing up for a wedding or even just around town for a day of shopping, the trench coat will be a good call. You’ll certainly get your money’s worth out of this item as you can literally wear it to all occasions. I’m going to show how to style a trench coat in three different ways to fit different occasions. At the moment, Jack Wills has some great classic women’s trench coats, the one I have featured in this post is a very classic shape but you could also go for a cropped style like the Dollyhill Swing Trench Coat or even an oversized style.
WORKWEAR: TRENCH COAT // SUEDE BLACK TOTE // WHITE PLEATED BLOUSE // BLACK WRAP SKIRT // LEOPARD PRINT SANDALS
The Trench Coat is perfect for wearing to work or looking a little smarter to formal occasions. Whilst the trench coat is an excellent transitional piece for the seasons, it also works really well for styling up for the festive season. Whilst the jacket keeps the outfit very stylish, add a print into the mix if you want to take it to the next level. I’m currently loving these leopard print sandals from New Look.
OCCASIONWEAR/WEDDING: TRENCH COAT // RED TASSEL EARRINGS // CHANEL SUNGLASSES // MULBERRY LILY BAG // TOPSHOP NUDE HEELS // VERO MODA RED LACE DRESS
This would be the perfect jacket to cover up whilst at a special occasion such as a wedding, especially in the cooler months. I’m just a tad obsessed with this Vero Moda lace dress which is very alike to the Self-Portrait dresses. I think adding a pop of colour is a great idea to make your outfit stand out. Additionally, you can’t go wrong with a classic pair of nude heels to elongate your legs.
CASUAL: TRENCH COAT // STUDDED LOAFERS // STRIPED TEE // RUFFLE WAIST TROUSERS // TAN LEATHER BACKPACK
The great thing about this jacket is that it literally can be paired with anything. For my casual look, I thought I would add a little Parisian flair with a striped tee. The colours also really work well with a brown leather backpack. Let me know below, what you would pair with a trench coat. Do you have one in your wardrobe?

Absolutely love the leopard print sandals from New Look, my mummy has been on the hunt for some new office shoes and these look lovely! So in season too x
I love trench coats so this is a great read for me – Love the evening out look very chic and classy 🙂 x
I have to get a new trench coat in the near future. Those leopard print shoes had me at hello too! I love timeless dressing, it saves me so much time in the morning and I always leave the house looking and feeling fantastic!
As a guy, I always wore trenchcoats as a teen… Although most of them were branded by heavy metal bands, haha.
oh i absolutely adore the styles here , that red is stunning
Love love love the first look. Been eyeing up a trench coat for winter as I want something more smart this year.
I’ve never tried to style a trench coat before, but I love how you’ve styled it with red!
I have to say I love all three styles and would be hard picked to choose a favourite. I also fell in love with those tasselled earrings and were surprised to see how cheap they are!
Oh these look really good!! love all three ways they pair really good together. Love the second style the most its so pretty for a night out 😉
The top outfit is really me. It’s such a shame I don’t suit a trench coat. I’m too short and fat :'(

I love the idea of being able to style a staple piece in multiple ways, the second outfit is my fave, love that dress Rachel! x
