Trench coat is huge on the runway for spring 2023. I don´t know if I should be happy or sad about this news. Trench coat is back on trend!
Happy ´cause all I have to do is dust off my good old trench coat and I´ll be wearing something trendy this spring.
Sad because it´s the same trench coat that I´ve been talking about for a decade now. I mean, if you´re blogging about fashion for a decade, you´ll come to a point when all you do is simply parroting yourself. And repeating yourself over and over again can be boring. How many times have I blogged about trench coats?
So why trench coat?
If you look back at the history of this style of coat, you´ll realize that given its origin – the British army uniform – there´s really no other types of coat that can beat it when it comes to sharpness and elegance. It simply is at the top.
So if ones says that trench coat is a fashion staple, it´s hard to argue.
1. trench coat trend for spring: The Short Trench Coat
Short trench coats were particularly trendy in 2015. If you happened to own a trench coat which hem hits high on your thigh, the best way to wear it is with skinny trousers.
If yours is in beige or muted color, consider creating tonal outfits with it. This means that white, light washed gray jeans, or even pastel colored trousers are you´re best pick to wear with the trench.
2. The Modern Trench Coat
There´s a reason why this is call the modern trench coat. It´s quite versatile and can mimic different styles and silhouettes of coat depending on how you wear it. The trench coats we see on the spring 2021 runway is similar to this – big, roomy, long, and oversized.
While the classic trench promises sharpness and accuracy, this modern trench coat is selling you comfort.

6. Single Breasted Long Trench Coat
