You'll actually wanna dance in the rain thanks to these *très* chic trench coats (2025)

The trench coat just might be the ultimate capsule wardrobe hero. Not only has it been a staple for style icons throughout the decades, like Marilyn Monroe, Kate Middleton and Alexa Chung, but there's one available at any price point – whether that be from a charity shop, high-street brand or designer label. So everyone can get in on the goodness.

And don't even get us started on its styling versatility. You can team yours with a floral summer dress and black boots for a chic workwear outfit, throw it over your activewear to instantly transform you from workout to café-ready or shrug it on over a white tee with boyfriend jeans and fashion trainers for a casual brunch lewk. The options are endless.

Plus, thanks to the lightweight fabric often involved, a good old trench is the perfect outerwear option to have on hand with the unpredictable, cloudy weather we're so accustomed to in the UK. And come the cooler months, all it'll take to cosy one up is layering.

Who makes the best trench coats for women?

We could never not mention the quintessentially British designer Burberry, and the Alaïa denim take is OOTW – but the high street has some stellar options too. We're giving top marks to styles from COS, M&S Autograph, AllSaints and Reformation, while H&M, Topshop Curve & Simply Be are coming through with goods as stylish as they are affordable.

We don't want to rush you, but this gem from M&S is literally flying off the shelves, as you would expect. Run, don't walk.

Wowza, we adore the hazelnut brown hue and button details on this Karen Millen coat, so much so that what we wear underneath it seems irrelevant. This maxi deserves to stay buttoned up and centre of attention.

No trench coat roundup would be complete without an appearance from Burberry, and while this belted number won't come cheap, you will be left with a classic that can be worn for years to come.

Why is this Maje trench just so effortlessly chic? We'll be throwing it on with everything until... forever. Also, check out that saving!

We can't stop thinking about this dreamy trench, which is equal parts effortless and elegant (always a winning combo).

If the relaxed fit and wear-with-everything shade are anything to go by, this cutie will be gone in a flash, so we'd recommend getting involved while you still can.

We are *so* here for the rust brown shade of this trench, and don't even get us started on the maxi length, which means you'll be covered top to toe if the heavens open...

COS somehow always knows how to take a classic and turn it into a ridiculously cool item our wardrobes have to have.

This stone beige trench coat has a designer feel, looking far more luxe than its high-street price tag would suggest. Plus, it's available up to a UK size 30. What's not to love?

A twist on a classique from an iconic British brand, this Barbour trench mash-up is super-cute and totally rainproof - win win.

A mid-length cut like so will allow you to show off both your new purchase and your favourite knee-high boots simultaneously when all done up. Seems like a winner to us.

Who said it had to be camel? Or beige, or black? This pink trench has our hearts - ideal for injecting a lil colour into a wardrobe of neutrals.

We can't wait to pair this stunner with our fave flat ballet flats. HBU?

Gone baggy and can't seem to go back? Firstly, we feel ya and secondly, not to worry. The Nelson is Jigsaw's take on the trench and is oversized to perfection.

Cropped trench coats are having a moment, and it's easy to see why. Grab this Good American beaut before it's gone for good.

The classic lewk isn't for everybody, nor does it have to be. But that's where leather/leather-effect styles come in. They tip the wardrobe staple into edgier territory. And honestly, we're all for it.

You'll always feel put-together in this high-street hero from & Other Stories. The shape and colour are *chef's kiss*.

Finding gems on The Outnet at a steal of a price is one of our favourite ways to pass the time. You're welcome...

We love it when H&M knocks it out of the park, and this short trench is TDF. Don't believe us? Just wait 'til you see the close-up shot.
