The Best Trans Seasonal Trench Coats to Elevate Your Capsule Wardrobe
We’re due a scorcher over the next week or so (dare I tempt fate!) but in general the British summer is not for the faint hearted—sunshine one minute and a chilly downpour the next. As a personal stylist, I always recommend clients build a wardrobe of versatile outerwear that can handle a little weather drama without sacrificing on style. Here are my top picks for the best trans seasonal trench coats that balance great aesthetics with functionality.
Why it works: A capsule wardrobe staple you’ll buy now and keep forever. Short, midi or long it’s your call however, I find the longer lengths a wiser investment due to more stylish aesthetic and year-round qualities - a couple of which are: it’s trans seasonally a good look as well as being super practical. I can lay claim to having been saved from countless thunderstorms in mine!

Styling tip: For a more classic finish with a neater line, choose a belted style and fasten at the front. Alternatively (and my personal preference) tie the belt at the back, leaving it open to show-off your outfit underneath giving a more relaxed, contemporary overall feel.
Best for: Any time, any place, any outfit - it’s brilliant across the board! Ideal light-mid weight coat ideal for workwear as well as adding professional polish to more casual attire.
