Navy maxi trench, Karen Millen, €210

The trench revolution

A trench coat is a versatile and timeless piece that is perfect to transition from late summer to autumn. Everybody should own their own trench, and there’s so many ways to wear yours.

Casual chic: Our favourite way to wear a trench is dressed down. Pair your trench coat with jeans, a simple white tee or breton top and trainers for an effortlessly stylish look that's great for everyday wear.

Workwear: Layer the trench coat over your tailored threads such as a blouse and pencil skirt or wide-legged trousers to add sophistication to your office ensemble.

Dress it up: Wear the trench coat over a little black dress for an elegant and polished evening look. Cinch the coat at the waist with a belt for a sleek silhouette.

Monochromatic magic: Opt for a monochromatic outfit and use the trench coat as a statement piece, beiges and whites work particularly well and look very stylish and polished.

Layering: Experiment with layering by wearing the trench coat over a chunky jumper or a turtleneck.

Belted beauty: Don’t forget to belt up! Embrace the belted silhouette by fastening the belt to highlight your waist. This adds structure and a touch of elegance to any look.
