6 trench coats that will last a lifetime

There’s something truly inexplicable about an amazing trench coat that makes you want to collect one in every single color and length, whether classic or edgy, minimalist or with unexpected detailing. It’s not only a timeless statement piece, it’s a sustainable piece that can be worn 365 days a year with every single outfit under the clouds. 

The classic trench coat

You simply can’t go wrong with a classic beige, black, or navy-blue trench coat that will keep you dry and looking put together on even the stormiest of days. Buttoned up and belted, or structured and left open, a classic trench coat always looks good. That’s why it’s a classic.

The casual trench coat

Did you know that the trench coat we’re familiar with today was originally designed as a robust military coat? Over the years it evolved and became more relaxed, with a looser fit, less detailing, no cuffs or collars, and even beltless. If this is more your vibe, then the sustainable piece you should be investing in is the casual trench coat.

The belted trench coat

If you’ve got your eye on a structured rainy day coat silhouette, consider a timeless belted trench coat – investing in a secondhand sustainable piece such as this one ensures elegant outerwear that oozes luxury, whether it’s Burberry, Isabel Marant, Prada or Gerard Darel. 

The sporty trench coat

Not everyone is a fan of military style, structured trench coats… and that’s OK! Luckily, there are many equally sustainable pieces with a sporty silhouette that are perfect for waterproof, laid-back, contemporary looks… and that are just as timeless.

The short trench coat

The same goes for the short trench coat – not everyone loves the longer, sometimes too formal versions of this type of outerwear. The short trench coat is a similar sustainable piece that has all the appeal of a standard trench coat, just a few inches shorter, but still cool and something you’ll wear forever.

The bold trench coat

Think unexpected colors, silhouettes, details or designs. If you enjoy bold outerwear, then a bold trench coat is the most elevated form of luxury secondhand investment. So much more than a sustainable piece, it’s a statement piece that will brighten even the darkest of days.

Short or long, belted or unbelted, structured or sporty, bold or classic, a trench coat is probably one of the most sustainable pieces in your closet – it compliments any type of outfit, dressed up or down, it’s a constant go-to and it will last a lifetime.
