Trench coats are one of those fashion staples that every woman should own. Made popular by London Fog, who made waterproof coats for the U.S. Navy during World War II, trench coats have evolved over time into a timeless piece that evokes elegance and style in any wardrobe. They’re the definition of a fashion staple.
So, you know you need to buy one–but which? It’s hard to know whether the best trench coats are the $800 Burberry ones, or whether you can shop more affordable brands to get the look. We’re not knocking Burberry, but the answer is that you absolutely can get a great-looking trench coat for around $100.
Need proof? We’ve got the receipts. Aka, the customer reviews. Customer ratings are everything these days (and we’re not talking about the fake Amazon kind). Our market editors know that customer reviews are a great way to find out if the product images online match the product IRL, if the sizes are true, how the quality holds up over time, and more. We spent countless hours reviewing the customer reviews of some of the internet’s top trench coat results. Hey–we do it because we love you.
The results are in–and just in time for spring. This season, we’re seeing some really funky variations on the trench coat: think Kendall Jenner‘s black leather trench, Bella Hadid in red plaid Burberry (fire!) and even Charlize Theron‘s John Galliano white trench from the spy thriller Atomic Blonde last fall. Spring 2018 just might be the season of the trench, as far as we’re concerned.
If you’re not ready to take it as far as Kendall or Bella, have no fear. We’ve got totally non-intimidating trench coats that deliver on style and can be worn everyday. Try them over cropped trousers for the office, or with jeans and sneakers on the weekend. Without further ado, here are our top picks for the best trench coats:
