The scent of rain-soaked pavement is in the air, and with it comes the perfect excuse to embrace a must-have springtime staple.

The trench coat is one of those rare pieces that truly never goes out of style. It’s immediately recognizable without being overly flashy. It’s a piece of fashion history that transcends time and trend cycles, playing a key role in countless film and pop culture moments. Who could forget their first time seeing Audrey Hepburn, clad in the classic Burberry Waterloo Heritage trench, in Breakfast at Tiffany’s? We certainly haven’t.

At its core, the trench coat is also functional and versatile. Wear it to stay dry amid April showers or for a little extra warmth between seasons. Dress it up with a monochromatic look or pare it down with jeans and a white tee. Whether you’re buying into the quiet luxuriousness of a classic trench or looking to discover new shapes and hues, look no further. Here are the best trench coats to shop this season.

Keep it classic

Looking for your first trench? You might want to start here.

Aritzia

Aritzia has nailed the foolproof, slim-fit trench with all the fixings: double-breasted button closures, a belt and a front storm flap detail — all at a palatable price point.

Burberry

Where would we be without this icon? Made in England from shower-resistant cotton gabardine, this trench is lined with Burberry’s Check cotton, a signature since the 1920s.

Dolce & Gabbana

If you’re looking for an investment piece, look no further. This Dolce & Gabbana coat marries all the original elements of the trench with a few contemporary twists: a menswear-inspired cut, and its play of layers contributing to a relaxed attitude.

Lauren Manoogian

Show off the hood and buttons—or keep them hidden—with this unique take on the classic trench. Made from a cotton-linen blend, this intentionally oversized coat features an irregular dye effect that gives it a softly crinkled look.

Consider the crop

Cropped trenches are everywhere right now, with good reason. Cutting a few inches below the waist, they’re effortlessly flattering and functional.

Favorite Daughter

Featuring a classic double-breasted front button closure and a detachable waist-tie, this mini trench would look impeccable with skin tight black capris and your favourite black sunnies.

Banana Republic

This short and sweet option from Banana Republic comes with beautifully structured shoulders and an updated storm flap for an elevated cape-like look.

Massimo Dutti

Prefer a boxy silhouette? This chic, cotton-blend number from Massimo Dutti ditches a belt in favour of a wider fit. It’s also sustainably sourced, made from organically grown cotton.

Look to leather

Leather outerwear may seem like a no-brainer, but a trench coat rendered in soft suede or lush lambskin? Always a standout.

Reiss

We love this petite fit, lightweight Reiss coat for its rich taupe color, striking longline silhouette, and belt that cinches at the waist for a refined finish.

Róhe

Sophisticated yet luxurious, this check belted trench encapsulates Róhe’s sense of vintage minimalism.

LAMARQUE

Is the midi trench the middle child of the trench coat family? Perhaps. While it’s often overlooked, it never goes out of style. This 100% lamb leather trench comes in a soft black — perfect for transitional seasons.

Nour Hammour

A long leather coat with plush Toscana trims, this fuzzy-collared coat from Nour Hammour is drool-worthy.

Reformation

This soft red trench is crafted from lamb leather. With a minimalist design, aside from its bold statement color, it is intended to offer a relaxed fit.

Walk on the dark side

As with every investment piece, you’ll want to choose a style and colour you’ll always reach for. Many gravitate towards darker hues, which offer an air of sophistication and infinite styling opportunities.

GANNI

Buckle up, babe. With puffed sleeves, a curved silhouette and two belts to lend extra shape, GANNI’s showstopping take on the trench was spotted everywhere at fashion week.

TOTEME

Taking cues from the marshy fields of England, the waxed coating and corduroy finishes on this trench offer protection from the elements — even without your 'brolly.'

Zara

The gold snap-button closures, deep slouchy pockets and overall relaxed fit of this coat strike a lovely combination between English traditionalism and the fisherman core.
