Suddenly, All of the Chicest People I Know Are Wearing Trench Coats in This Elegant Wintery Shade

Having gotten off to a mild start this the season, I’m in need of a light weight layer to tied me over whilst my cosy winter coats remain packed away. While I’m sure their time will come around soon, this intermediary period requires coverage that can give me a wash of warmth without overheating me.

Inspired by the chic trench coats I’ve been seeing all around me, this winter I’m inspired to shop the style for myself. However, rather that opting for the classic camel colour I’ve seen year after year, this season I’m shopping the under-the-radar but highly chic khaki trench coat trend.

With an earthy, slightly moody energy, this emerging trench coat trend adds depth and interest to an outfit, all the while nodding to the change of season. Whilst camel and beige trench coats are style staples that comes back yearly, trench coats in this richer khaki shade feels both seasonally apt and a fresh alternative to the trench coat colour trends that have come before.

Taking over shop fronts, the trend has been widely adopted across hight street and designer brands this season. Whilst some have showcased elegant car coats, others have released chic double breasted styles in the trendy shade.

While khaki isn’t considered a traditional neutral, the wintry hue is muted enough to style well with wide range of shades. A natural colour seen throughout nature, this wearable hue pairs well with other earthy tones including browns, beiges, whites and black, as well as with more vibrant colours including burgundy and plum.
