There is nothing quite like the enduring appeal of a timeless trench; this quintessentially British outerwear transcends trends.

Come rain or shine, you’ll wear it on repeat in the autumn months, styling with jeans and loafers for a laid-back look suitable for everyday dressing, or with a midi dress and ankle boots for elegant evening events. Dial up your travel looks by layering athleisure with a fluid silhouette: Jigsaw’s drapey Camarin trench elevates leggings and knitwear, making it the perfect companion for those tricky in-between weather days.

Traditional utility colours such as beige give maximum style mileage, or opt for equally cool khaki: Musier Paris’ gabardine trench pairs perfectly with indigo denim and an oversized white shirt.
