The trench coat is currently trending. We know—it seems strange to consider such a classic style staple part of the trend cycle, but hear us out. Belted, colored, and styled in fresh new ways, the lightweight jacket is proving to be worth more than just a raincoat of late.
In fact, as evidenced by you, our stylish readers, there's plenty of fresh trench coat outfit inspiration to be gleaned for spring. Here, you'll find the outfits that our community shared on Instagram using #WhoWhatWearing. Want to be featured on our site next time? Use the hashtag on any of your style-related posts so we can see them.
Forget what you think you know about trench coats being limited to those with "classic" style. In a playful shade of pink, the outerwear is fun and fresh.
