How to Style a Trench Coat
Outerwear
A trench coat works because it pairs as easily with a slip dress as it does with wide-leg trousers and a button-down shirt. Anchor it with ankle boots for structure, or add a silk or wool scarf to refine the neckline without adding bulk. These combinations feel deliberate because they balance the trench's tailored weight with pieces that either match its polish or soften it.
