Even your most classic wardrobe staples can use a refresh from season to season, which is why we have culled an inspiring selection of tastemakers showing off updated ways to wear the trench coat. In fact, this season especially, we saw trench coats all over the street style scene, only further solidifying the style as a forever piece. While it’s a staple in any closet, fall is the best time to work a trench back into your everyday look because it’s the perfect lightweight layering piece for when you’re in the midst of transitioning our wardrobe into cooler weather. If you don’t own the jacket yet, though, you’re in luck because we’ve scoured our favorite retailers for the best styles out there.

There’s no shortage of styling inspiration, either. Whether you wear one cinched at the waist with a contrasting belt or leave it open to show off a midi dress underneath, trench coat outfit ideas are virtually endless, which is why we’ve put together a slew of outfit ideas to try right now.

Ahead, get inspired by how fashion girls are wearing the wardrobe staple, and find a thorough shopping section that runs the gamut from basic khaki to a wild printed number and even a few vinyl options so you can find your own dependable jacket to add to your collection; there’s no shortage of inspiration.
