AW22 Trend: Into The Trenches

With a focus on minimalist fashion and utility trends the transitional trench is an Autumn Winter must-have. Designed for function and style the timeless trench is not only the perfectly practical outer layer for the wet, but trench coats can also transform any outfit and make casual separates (yes, even sweatpants!) look put together instantly.

While comfort-first wardrobe staples aren’t going anywhere anytime soon, draping a sleek trench coat over an outfit, no matter how informal, can make the mundane feel special again.

With so many versions and re-interpretations a trench is the perfect piece to “do it all” this Winter. Simply put, it is pure closet magic. Embrace a trench in the season ahead and you will not be sorry.

• • A glossy leather trench has arrived with its powerfully chic presence, it is an investment which will last a lifetime.
• • The latest designs have become boxier, perfectly oversized to layer bulky knitwear underneath.
• • The sleeveless trench is more useful than you might first think. This double-breasted number can be underpinned with everything from white T-shirts to chunky roll-neck jumpers.
• • A sleeveless trench can also be worn solo as a striking dress.
