How to wear a trench coat

The trench coat was cemented as a wardrobe staple by luxe brand Burberry and is ideal for our wet winters. Here's how the team at BeautyEQ is styling this season's classic trenches.

"I make one or two investment buys each season and keep these pieces in my wardrobe for years. This trench is gorgeous. I love the top-stitching detail and wide belt, which nips in the waist. It is easy casual wear when teamed with sneakers, then when I put on a pair of heels, it's all about business."

"For me, it's all about colour and blush pink is the statement shade this season. An outfit is not complete without a clashing print or hue and I would style this trench with layers in different shades of pink, mixing in a floral and graphic pattern." 

Louise Hilsz

Bess Cosmilk Scarf, $295. Raey long-line fine-knit cashmere sweater, $310. Dolce & Gabbana Rose-print stretch silk-blend skirt, $1,115. Gucci Polly fringed leather loafers, $950.

"A trench for me is a sporty option in a coat. I love the classic trench shape and colour and the way it can be worn with sneakers and jeans or over a dress for a special event. It's the ideal layering piece in my wardrobe that I will wear almost every day."
