We all have that one outfit we gravitate toward for each season of the year. In the Summer, it's denim cutoffs and a white tee, and in the Winter, it's a chunky sweater with jeans and a puffer jacket. But, the one season that always has us in a tizzy is Fall. With some days being cooler than others, the fluctuating temperatures can cause us to stare at our closets for hours on end in utter confusion.

Enter: the trench coat. While this coat is a wardrobe staple for many, it is, in our opinion, the one Fall outfit that truly never dies. This season, we've seen so many new iterations of the coat along with so many unexpected ways of styling it. Read on to see what we're talking about, and shop some our favorite selections to make your collection feel fresh and updated.
