Friends, we’re at the time of year where getting dressed is hard, both mentally and physically. Firstly, it’s fkin freezing, so leaving the toasty covers of bed feels like a form of torture, and it’s also hard to know how many layers are necessary in order to keep warm. If your wardrobe is ill-prepared for the cooler side of things (read: you don’t own a trench coat yet), we’re here to help.
Trench coats are quite literally the perfect transitional staple. They’re often one of the easiest layers you can throw on as you head into and out of winter. They’re lightweight but warm and designed to be both practical and durable.
The classic silhouette of a trench — oversized fit, waist belt, storm shield, belt loop detailing, relaxed cuffing, and an oversized fit — is also pretty universally flattering. Plus, they make longline and cropped styles these days, so you can switch it up depending on your style choices or needs.
You also don’t have to just stick to a beige coat. There are so many more colourways and fabric options out there, like leather (real and faux), suede, tan, black, and pops of colour to help spice up your winter wardrobe.
Lastly, you don’t have to drop $2k and your firstborn just to buy one. You just have to know where to look… or let us look for you.
So, without further ado. Here are the best women’s trench coats we’ve found for the 2025 season.
