I think it has become clear why celebs absolutely adore the essential trench, and after all who can blame them? As a vital wardrobe must, this trench coat by Burberry is the ultimate classical statement with a contemporary twist. The silhouette is very flattering, framing the body and accentuating (and concealing) all the right places. Featuring leather piping, this adds a modern flair and truly brings a swanky feel to this highly coveted item. Though the price tag is quite steep, the steal below speaks for itself!

Wallis is currently having a sale on this an amazing Tipped Belt Trench priced for only $88! As trench coat season is soon approaching, this one would definitely serve as a great transition piece plus make a staple in your closet. Also, if you’re against wearing leather, this may be a great alternative to the Burberry trench as it highlights a similar style without the leather piping.

‘Tis the season of the trench. One of the classic essentials to every stylish girl’s wardrobe, this must-have is a safe return on investment. You can wear it on any occasion; from going out over a cocktail dress or with jeans and a feminine blouse on a hot date. It will take you from the airport to an elegant dinner, and you’ll look just as chic. For a piece like this, it’s really important to look for quality. And quality is something the iconic Burberry Trench has, but spending over a thousand dollars isn’t the only way to invest. Take a look at our other option below.

Mango Double Breasted Trench
Lucky for those of us who are on a budget, great quality can be found at an awesome price – if you know where to look. This gorgeously tailored trench by Mango, pays homage to the original silhouette and close attention to detail with its tortoiseshell buttons and flattering seams (in all the right places). Ladies without trenches, at $159.99, this is surely a wise addition to your closet.

Alright, let’s just get right down to it, shall we? Everybody needs a trench in their closet. Everyone. That means you. I wasn’t a believer until I started wearing one myself, but I am here to tell you that they go with everything. They look simple and chic over jeans and classic and sexy over dresses. They can be worn over sweaters in the cooler months and worn over tanks in the warmer months. They are versatile and timeless, sophisticated and demure. Need I say more? Of course, there are tons of trenches out there and like pizza, despite what some people say, not every slice (or trench) is made equal. This Burberry Double Breasted Trench is probably about as good as it gets. Exquisitely cut with just enough detailing, I’m going to out on a limb here and say this could be the trench to end all trenches. But excuse me while I wipe away a tear… this coat retails for over $1.000.

ASOS Double Breasted Mac
Folks, just so you know, we rushed to get this post up because we are that certain that this trench will sell out. Another thing you should probably be aware of, is that I actually placed my own order for this coat before sitting down to write this entry. Yes, I was scared you all would buy out all the stock. We’ve got the same great detailing, the slant pockets and great cut. This coat is also available in red, but I’m all about the stone color.

The trench coat has become a wardrobe staple, and while it may be considered a basic, Sonia by Sonia Rykiel is adding a feminine and fun twist. Combing two of my favorites – polka dot print and stunning tailoring, the Polka Dot Denim Trench Coat is no longer just a coat but part of an ensemble. And ever since it’s beginning to rain more and more, this coat is ultimate for those awful rainy days while providing some energy. I am obsessed with this trench coat, but not so much with the price. Not to worry though, the steal is simply perfection!

Banana Republic Polka Dot Trench
Usually I would associate rainy and cloudy days with a depressing mood, but the Banana Republic Polka Dot Trench really makes me anticipate for this kind of climate. It’s the closest match to the real deal above, but is rather a much more budget-friendly and affordable version. At a mere $150, maybe rainy days have a purpose in fashion after all. Additionally, this trench is available in petite sizing.

So how perfect is this military-inspired wool trench by J.Crew? I am obsessed! This might be easily the most beautiful coat for under $500 I have ever seen! And boy, do I love the contrast between the deep royal blue and the shiny gold buttons. Perfection! Plus, you can get it for 25% OFF ($262.50) w/ promo code “LOVEFALL“. How great is that?
