After a long and depressing winter, the weather is finally changing, which means trench coat season. This is the time to think about updating your wardrobe with seasonal transition pieces, and a good trench should be the first thing on your list. It’s the perfect item for those spring and early-summer days that are cold in the morning and at night but nice and sunny in between.
When you imagine a classic trench coat, you probably think all-weather, often khaki-colored, double-breasted design with structured lapels and a waist-cinching belt. Maybe designers like Burberry comes to mind as well, since the label has helped popularize the look since its inception.
Whether you’re looking for a sleek style to pair with your everyday looks, something durable to tackle spring showers, or a style that’s ideal for layering, these are the 13 best trench coats the internet has to offer.

Tôteme Signature Trench Coat
Materials: 75 percent cotton, 25 percent polyester | Sizes: 2-10 | Colors: 1
If you know me, you know this is one of the most-worn items in my closet. I’ve owned it for years, and it continues to be the piece I reach for when I don’t know what else to wear. Sure, it’s an investment, but I’ve definitely gotten my money’s worth! This double-breasted trench features a roomy, oversize fit and exaggerated proportions, so it makes a statement no matter what you wear underneath. The stiff material — in addition to details like double-wrap belted cuffs and monogram-logo lining — feels so luxurious. My only complaint? No pockets.
The best cropped trench

Materials: 60 percent viscose, 32 percent polyester, 8 percent elastane | Sizes: XXS-3XL | Colors: 3
This cropped trench looks and feels much more expensive than it is. It’s beautifully tailored and has classic, structured shoulders without looking boxy. I like to cinch the waist to create a dramatic, defined silhouette. No matter how tight I tie the belt, it doesn’t bunch up around the waist.
The reversible trench

Materials: 100 percent organic cotton| Sizes: 6-20 | Colors: 1
You get two looks in one with this 100 percent cotton, fully reversible trench coat from Damson Madder. It can also be worn with or without the belt, which features a D-ring and the cutest little detachable coin purse. It holds the essentials (my keys, ID, and a credit card) on days when I’m running errands or grocery shopping and don’t want to carry a bag.

Leset Kyoto Car Coat
Materials: 100 percent cotton | Sizes: XS-XL | Colors: 5
This is something Zoë Kravitz would wear, am I right? It’s so thin and lightweight that it feels more like a duster than a trench coat. Of course, it works well as a layering piece over a sweater or tee, but it would look so cool over a lace or silk slip dress, too. The pared-down design, concealed buttons, and streamlined silhouette are ideal for minimalists.
The best classic trench

Materials: 100 percent organic cotton | Sizes: 0-16 | Colors: 3
Sézane is one of my go-to brands for mid-priced wardrobe essentials that are tailored to perfection and feel more expensive than they actually are. This trench coat is no exception. The no-frills design features large lapels, button ties on the shoulders and cuffs, and a removable tie waist belt. It’s available in this camel color and a khaki green hue.
The one to wear in the rain

Barbour Maia Showerproof Jacket
Materials: 61 percent cotton, 39 percent polyamide | Sizes: 2-16 | Colors: 2
Of all the trench coats in my closet, this classic Barbour jacket is the most reliable in heavy rain. It’s lined and fully waterproof. It feels so luxurious and high quality, plus it also looked even better in real life than it does online. Small details like the light-green tartan-check lining and the tortoiseshell buttons make it feel special.
The fitted trench

Materials: 100 percent organic cotton | Sizes: XXS-XXL | Colors: 5
If you’re tired of oversize outerwear and want something slim fitting, add the Everlane Mac Coat to your cart. It’s water-resistant and water-repellent, plus it has deep welt pockets. What I love most about it is its mid-thigh length.
The summer trench
New! You can now save this product for later.
Materials: 100 percent cotton | Sizes: XXS-XL | Colors: 1
I already know I’ll be throwing this trench over everything in the spring and summer. It reminds me of a canvas painter’s jacket, but with an effortless drape. The cream cotton and nautical striped lining make it the perfect choice for summer nights that get a bit chilly when the sun sets.
The trench with a removable hood

Materials: 62 percent cotton, 48 percent polyester | Sizes: XS-L | Colors: 2
While we love an oversize trench coat that gives off Matrix vibes, there is certainly a time and place for outerwear that has a more defined shape. This water- and wind-resistant piece from Norba is exactly that, thanks to the cinched waist and slight A-line cut. It features a zip-off hood, side pockets, and a high neckline that’s both warm and stylish.
The fitted double-breasted trench
New! You can now save this product for later.
Materials: 100 percent organic cotton | Sizes: XXS-XXL | Colors: 3
Available in three neutral colors and a wide range of sizes, this flattering, slim-fit trench is such a staple. It’s fully lined and made from 100 percent organic cotton that’s nice and stiff (because no one wants a trench coat with a flimsy belt).
The best oversize option
New! You can now save this product for later.
Materials: 67 percent Lyocell, 33 percent polyester | Sizes: XXXS/XXS-M/L | Colors: 1
Oversized, fluid, and billowy, this trench is the definition of effortlessly cool. It features extra-long sleeves, belted cuffs, large notch lapels, and a detachable belt. Since it’s lightweight, unlined, and can be worn open without the belt, you’ll be able to wear it all spring, even when the weather warms up.

A classic double-breasted trench for $150. Everyone say, “Thank you, Uniqlo.”
The cool-toned one
New! You can now save this product for later.
Materials: 100 percent cotton | Sizes: XS-XL | Colors: 1
This trench coat features a hidden button closure that gives it a roomy, minimalist, unfussy vibe. I love the relaxed fit and the unexpected off-white color — it feels more spring-y than traditional beige or camel coats.
