One Fall Staple Styled 3 Ways

When it comes to fall wardrobe staples, there is nothing more timeless than the classic trench coat. It’s the ultimate layering piece that’s perfect for helping you transition your wardrobe between seasons. It’s functional and durable, providing a lightweight option for rainy days and chilly nights. And, its versatility allows for it to be dressed up or down, making it an ideal choice for just about any occasion. All in all, the trench coat has a lot to offer – even for the quasi fashionistas.

And the fashion world is dedicated to keeping it around. Which is why it’s been updated for every single season since its inception in the late 1800s, like in the 90s when we saw it in a cool vinyl variation for the Chanel Fall 1991 Ready To Wear collection. The trench coat has consistently solidified itself as a piece that deserves a spot in our closets – and it’s pretty clear that it’s not going anywhere. 

When we saw this trench coat from Club Monaco, we fell head over heels in love with the color and sale price. The long belt adds an eye-catching detail, making it just the right blend of simple and chic. The light yellow also offers an unexpected pop of color in a sea of predictable beiges and tans. It’s the perfect accompaniment for any of your looks this autumn – and for many more autumns to come. Keep reading to see how we styled it! 

 

THE TRENCH

Trench coat from Club Monaco

The number of stylish ways to wear a trench coat is practically infinite, so we’ve curated three outfits for you to try with your trench right now.

Look #1 : Loungewear 

Loungewear is having a major moment right now and we never want it to come to an end. Whoever decided to make comfy clothing a trend was a genius and we’re forever indebted to them. But, we know it can be tricky to keep even your most-loved loungewear feeling fresh, especially if you’ve been wearing it every day for the last few months. One way to revamp an outfit that’s becoming a bit dull is to pair it with a seasonal staple like – you guessed it – a trench coat! Layering one over your cozy loungewear will instantly elevate it, creating an effortlessly chic look that you can put together in no time.

Look #2: Knitwear 

In need of a sophisticated ensemble? You can never go wrong styling knitwear with a trench. The trench coat’s tailored silhouette paired with the minimal luxury of the knit midi dress is a match made in heaven. While the elements of this outfit are simple on their own, they work together to create an overall look that is both polished and put together. Coupling neutral tones like ivory and beige with this sunshiny yellow trench also adds an element of brightness which allows you to wear this look for both work and play. To create a bit of extra structure, use a belt to cinch the waist.

Look#3: Snake & Satin 

If you’re on the hunt for a way to make a statement this fall, look no further. This fit mixes contrasting textures like a feminine blouse with a fierce faux leather pant, which adds an element of interest to the otherwise ordinary trench coat. When you throw in a bold print, like snakeskin, it takes the entire look up a notch and makes for a compelling combination. You’ll definitely have all eyes on you.
