The fashion crowd always seems to know how to put a new spin on old styles, and at the NYFW Fall 2018 shows that was truer than ever. While many in the industry were waxing philosophical about whether fashion week was "dead," street style stars were breathing new life into the classic trench coat. Showgoer after showgoer was spotted in the outerwear staple in every fabrication from vinyl to boucle, and every hue from camel to candy pink. Bold prints like plaid and gingham also kicked this timeless topper up a notch, solidifying the novelty trench as New York Fashion Week's must-have coat. With spring transitional dressing just around the corner, this is a trend we can definitely get on board with.
