Fashion editors say the trench coat is trending again. But did it ever really go away? The coat has been around for more than 100 years, earning its name from – you guessed it — the literal trenches of World War I. Emerging out of a modern solution to new warfare tactics, the flexible coat was designed in khaki (“dust” in Persian) for camouflaging and constructed with improved weatherproof fabric.

Fast forward to Paris fashion week in the year 2023 and the street style set has taken the utilitarian trench coat to new sartorial heights. Though it has evolved in color and fabric treatments, it remains a perennial spring classic that makes you look instantly put together.

From heritage brands like Burberry and Barbour to coats from cult-favorite designers like The Frankie Shop and Acne Studios, here are 10 standout trench coats to shop now.
