Women’s trench coats

How do I choose the right length and fit for my body type?

If you're petite, go for knee-length styles to keep your proportions balanced. Taller? Mid-calf lengths will look great on you. For fit, make sure the shoulders sit right at your natural shoulder line, and choose a style that nips in at the waist with the belt. Modern, relaxed fits give a contemporary feel, while tailored cuts create a sleek silhouette. The belt should define your waist without feeling restrictive.

What should I pair with a women's trench coat for work, weekends, and travel?

For work, wear your trench coat over tailored trousers and a shirt, or try it with a skirt and ankle boots. At weekends, pair it with jeans, a jumper, and trainers for easy style. Travelling? Pair it with a t-shirt, comfortable trousers, and slip-on shoes — it's light enough to pack but smart enough for any occasion.

Are trench coats suitable for rainy or windy weather?

Yes, that's what they're made for. Classic cotton trench coats are naturally water-resistant, and many modern styles have treatments that boost weather protection. The belt and storm flaps help keep wind out, and the structured design stops the coat from flapping about. If you live somewhere particularly wet, look for treated fabrics or leather styles that naturally repel water.

How should I care for my trench coat to maintain shape and finish?

Hang your trench on a padded hanger and fasten the belt loosely to keep its shape. For cotton styles, wipe away small marks and get them professionally dry-cleaned when needed. Suede and leather trench coats need specialist cleaning and occasional conditioning. Don't wash it too often, as this can damage the fabric. When you're not wearing it, store it in a breathable garment bag to keep dust off while letting air circulate.
