Maybe it's just the "It" girl, sultry villain vibes that they give, but trench coats are very high on my 'buy' list for fall right now. They're the ultimate wardrobe staple to keep around for chilly days, and I love that they instantly elevate practically any outfit. You can dress up trench coats with pleated trousers or bodycon dresses, or wear them more casually alongside baggy jeans and graphic tees. Nowadays, trench coats are shoppable way beyond your typical detective-esque tan colorway – from leather pieces to denim get-ups, here are my 12 favorite trench coats for polished fall dressing!
