You're about to hear every fashion editor's least favourite T-word a lot more often, as the seasonal shift from summer to autumn is upon us, meaning our wardrobes need to undergo some changes, lest we be left shivering while clutching our basket bags and flip flops. And so I bring you the ultimate transitional investment piece: the trench coat. The one that lets you keep wearing your shorts, sandals and mini dresses well into autumn, before they finally get retired.
With its endless versatility—the trench can be shrugged over almost any outfit, trust me, I've tried—and its ability to add a nonchalant edge in an instant, it's no surprise it's been a go-to for stylish women for decades. A number of our favourite A-listers among its fans: Hailey Bieber, Kaia Gerber, Daisy Edgar-Jones and Riley Keough included.
