Of course we had to include the original trench in our edit: the military coat first dreamed up by Thomas Burberry in 1916. It's shape has shifted a little since then – the Chelsea design has a ladylike A-line fit and a nipped-in waist – but all the signatures we know and love remain. Made from waterproof cotton-gabardine, each one is detailed with epaulettes, storm flaps, buckled collars and cuffs, then lined with that iconic check.

The queen of Quiet Luxury, Jennifer Lawrence has been making a case for The Row's minimalist trench coats recently. This caped design forgoes hardware for a softer finish, and has a long panel meant to be draped over your shoulder.

Whistles

Whistles

All-black looks are the oldest and easiest trick in the book when it comes to styling (just Google Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen if you need confirmation). The cherry on top of a tonal outfit, Whistles's featherweight trench has a drapey cut and minimal fastenings.

Toteme

Toteme

Toteme's warmer take on the trench is more appropriate for chilly, transitional days. Made from wool blended with a hint of cashmere, this camel coat has the brand's signature draped silhouette and an open front for seamless layering.

Barbour

Barbour

Barbour's waxed jacket is beloved by the likes Alexa Chung, Sienna Miller and The Princess of Wales; so the meshing of these two British outwear icons feels really special. Inspired by archives designs, this coated trench is topped with a corduroy collar and cape storm flaps.

Arket

Arket

The leather trend is still going strong for 2024, so if you've already got the skirt and trousers hanging in your wardrobe, it's time to graduate to outerwear. Arket's fastening-free design will add edge to even the most basic outfits this spring.

Acne Studios has given the trench coat a new Western edge in the form of tonal-brown cow print. We like how the brand tempers this bold pattern by keeping other elements – the cotton-gabardine, double-breasted shape and classic fastenings – as traditional as possible.
