Trench coats appeared in fine form throughout all of fashion month, dotting the streets of Paris Fashion Week, in particular, as only one would expect them to. The skies opened up for the majority of Day 1, leaving many to choose outerwear that straddles the line between form and function. That’s precisely why trench coats have long been considered a bonafide style staple. Their long, streamlined shape, many of which are water-resistant, protect clothing from all sorts of inclement weather. And given how popular free-flowing silhouettes are at the moment, it’s no wonder how they are able to move between seasons and style genres with ease.
Trench coats are a generational type of jacket that has been around for decades. So in that respect, one can be forgiven for immediately thinking of pioneering labels like Burberry and Acquascutum. Their impact, though, can be felt across today’s contemporary landscape, with The Row, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, and others offering imaginative renditions for the new gen coming up now.
Let’s revisit the multitude of ways they were worn at Paris Fashion Week. Many wore them alongside closet tropes like jeans and T-shirts, while others teetered on the avant-garde layering it over ‘80s-style leotards. Some settled on unconventional textiles like leather and suede–some preferred trench coats with eccentric design twists like sleeve slits and add-on layers. Regardless of the actual style and/or how they played alongside other pieces, their impact could be as much IRL as through your computer screen.
