It can go with anything and everything in your closet with the right styling. You can either dress it up or down.

With a dress

A trench coat can go with a short or long dress outfit. For dresses, opt for a long-cut trench coat.

If your dress is brightly colored, opt for a neutral trench coat to avoid a fight for attention.

With jeans

A trench coat makes denim pieces feel more dressed up.

Ensure your denim is of a lighter color.

For work

Choose one that is the right size and accessorise your work outfit.

For the weekend

For a weekend look prioritise your comfort.

Pair it with your weekend outfit for example a pair of leggings and crop top.  

For evening

Choose a trench coat that will bring out elegance in your outfit.

It can be wool, silk, leather, or one that is brighter. Ensure it complements your outfit for the evening.

Cold weather

Opt for long-line trench coats for extra coverage and protection.

Have your outfit coordinated with the tones of your trench coat.
