It is hard to find a more timeless piece of clothing than the trench coat.
From their humble beginnings, designed for soldiers in the early 1900s to becoming a staple in the wardrobe of the fashion forward, it’s no wonder the trench coat has such a storied fashion history.
Particularly here Down Under, the trench coat is an unbeatable piece of outerwear to add a layer of warmth to protect against icy winter winds, but without the bulk of other coat styles.
As the trench coat is so versatile there are endless colourways, materials and silhouettes to choose from. However, this season we are loving the wintery hues of navy blue.

How to wear a navy trench?
Trench coats in general are extremely easy to style with your existing wardrobe. Simply throw them over your outfit and elevate it instantly.
If you’re looking for outfit inspiration, we love the combination of a navy coat with dark wash cropped jeans, a light coloured chunky knit and boots for a casual look.
Looking for an office-appropriate outfit? Pair some work pants with an oversized button up and pumps to nail the corporate-cool.
If you’re on the hunt for a navy trench of your own, read on because below we are taking a look at some of our very favourites.
