I’m Trading In My Bulky Winter Layers For A Trench Coat–and These 24 Are A1
Breaking out a trench coat after months of enduring below-freezing temperatures and mounds of snow is a life-changing experience.

For that, I already have an assortment of trench coats in mind that I'm itching to slip into. There's a reason why a trench is a staple topper among stylish people everywhere–it's an extremely versatile piece that manages to instantly elevate even the most low-key of outfits.

This season, the classic style has been reimagined in a number of exciting shapes and details that will surely get your sartorial juices flowing. From exaggerated shoulders to oversize shapes I've put together a list of options to kick your spring wardrobe into high gear.
