20 Womens Trench Coats: Leather, Cropped, Patchwork

Fashion trends come and go, but trench coats are timeless. No-fuss, throw-on-top-of-anything outerwear is a wardrobe necessity, which is why trenches have been our go-to coats for everything from windy and rainy weather to coffee runs, dependably adding an eye-catching statement to everyday looks. And when it comes to this eternally-cool lightweight layer, the options are seemingly endless.

Most associated with British outfitter Thomas Burberry, the double-breasted khaki topper was rendered iconic post-war after several prominent turns in the spotlight — namely on Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca and Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The look quickly became a favorite among glamorous stars such as Marlene Dietrich, Katherine Hepburn, and Greta Garbo. And though the base design hasn’t changed much, its look has evolved since its sleek, clean lines and timeless belted silhouette first became popular.

In 2024, the trench coat is bolder than ever, in a range of colors and textures, and even silhouettes from cropped to floor-length. So whether you’re in search of a classic water-repellent jacket or a trendy denim coat, we’ve rounded up a range of the best fall coats to add to your wardrobe this season.
