A trench coat is one of the most versatile closet staples you could possibly invest in. Here’s why: the best trench coats for women will work double time to keep the weather at bay while seamlessly blending with almost anything you already own. Pair with a sweater and jeans for a rainy day, throw over a maxi dress, or layer on top of a skirt and blouse. Virtually every outfit works with a classic beige or hazelnut trench coat.
From classic, camel colored trench coats to happy, colorful trench coats, I’ve rounded up investment trenches as well as trenches under $200 and $100 in today’s post. Be sure to scroll to the bottom for trench coat styling ideas!

I love neutral trenches because they’re versatile, can be layered with anything, and are a true closet staple. Here’s a roundup of my favorite with everything from storm flaps and A-line cuts to double-breasted and belted styles.

Natalie, thanks so much for sharing this post. I don’t have a beige trenchcoat but I would love to have one. I really love how you displayed the different styles and how you love neutrals. I feel like my style is all over the place.
