Trench coats are one of the most versatile outerwear pieces you can own. They're lightweight enough for fall, but can layer up to last through colder months. Much like a stylish bag or boot, a trench can transform even a basic sweatsuit and sneakers into a pulled-together look. They work with everything from basics to dresses and are purchases you can hold onto for seasons to come. If classic khaki's not your thing, try a statement version in prints like check or plaid or a luxe texture like vegan leather. We pulled together some of our favorite styling ideas to get inspired, and a few picks to shop alongside.
