A trench coat is one of the classic pieces of clothing that each of us should invest in. Due to its exceptional practicality, it represents the backbone of autumn clothing combinations, a Wannabe magazine brings a few ideas on how to style it this season.
This piece has a very rich history - it was originally designed for the needs of the military, so it was first worn by French and British soldiers during the First World War, and later it moved from the battlefields to the Hollywood screens and streets. Nowadays, it is almost impossible to imagine an autumn outfit without this piece.
The Burberry button-down coat is considered the first of its kind, and owning this item is still the epitome of luxury. The trench coat appears in some of the iconic films such as Casablanca and Breakfast at Tiffany's, and since then the design has been adopted by other houses, reinterpreting this classic piece in their own way.
Now is the period of the year when they will be worn the most - below you can see several ways to combine it.
With jeans and a white T-shirt
A classic combination like jeans and a white t-shirt can get a sophisticated effect if you throw on a trench coat with a classic cut. This outfit is ideal for both autumn and spring, and depending on the choice of accessories, you can get different versions of this combination. If you prefer a more casual look, combine it with your favorite sneakers, and if you are aiming for a more formal edition, opt for high heels instead of sneakers.
With red details
Red was a favorite color last season, but that doesn't mean we're done with it this year. If you want your combination to get a more modern look, combine a classic trench coat with red details, such as moccasins or a red bag. Opt for a version in a darker color, such as taupe, to further enhance the contrast between the shades.
With a belt
Freshen up your coat by styling it with an interesting belt. In this way, you will highlight your waist, and the trench coat will get a new silhouette. You can wear basic pieces like a mini skirt under it, and heels will "elevate" this look to a higher level.
With a monochrome combination
You can warm up your monochrome combination with a beige trench coat. A button-down shirt, a mini-skirt and Mary Jane shoes over short white socks are ideal pieces for this combination, and a coat over this combination completes the whole picture.
With cargo pants
If you are looking for new ways to style a trench coat, then opt for cargo pants. This combination not only exudes freshness, but is also useful due to the amount of pockets it has. Add heels in metallic color and this simple outfit will become more glamorous.
With striped shirts
A striped shirt is one of the most important pieces for days when we are not really inspired to experiment with fashion. Combine it with straight-leg pants and a bag and you'll get a chic look with minimal effort. Add a coat over it and you've got a combination that you're sure to repeat at least a few times.
With rubber boots
Combining a raincoat with rubber boots leads to the ultimate autumn outfit for rainy days. Not only are you equipped to walk the wet streets, but you'll look super chic while doing it. In order for both pieces to stand out, opt for a mini-skirt or shorts and warm knee-high socks and you are ready to romanticize autumn.
