We are nearing the end of winter, about to head into spring’s bloom. Before we reach peak April flourish, we have the fun but notoriously tricky-to-style transitional season to contend with. For an easy solution to the coinciding wardrobe woes, why not turn to the trench coat? The humble hero of rain and noncommittal temps has been upgraded for spring and is looking more exciting than ever.
Vogue’s Favorite Trench Coats
Over the years, we’ve seen plenty of riffs on the trench in designer collectsions, from the likes of Burberry, Prada, Chloé, and Toteme—paneled patchwork trenches, balloon-sleeve shapes, cropped cuts, and even silhouettes with scarves or wraps that gracefully engulf the wearer. Now, we’re seeing even more innovation in the streets. Modern twists on trenches were abundantly popular among the style-set in 2026, and the trends of unexpected colors, technical fabrics, and subtle fabrics shows no sign of slowing down. Our guide to out-shining spring showers, below.
The Classic Beige
Nothing says elevated essential quite like the classic tan trench. Burberry’s—a heritage wardrobe staple—feels effortless when pared back to worn-in denim, ankle boots, and refined jewelry (a little inspiration from a bingse of Love Story).
The Classic Black
For those who swear by a monochromatic wardrobe, a black trench is a timeless extra to add to your rotation.
