We’re always down for a basic women’s leather jacket or camel puffer for the fall season, but there’s something about a trench coat dress (i.e. a trench coat worn as a dress or vice versa) that instantly makes us smile. Besides the versatility, trench coat dresses have always been a fan favorite of ours.
There is just something so classic and trendy about them that we always find ourselves gravitating toward them during the cooler months. Just looking at Instagram and Pinterest for our favorite fashion inspirations, it’s obvious how well fashionistas these days are wearing their trench coat dresses. From streetwear looks to many others, numerous outfits will inspire you to stay both cozy and fashionable this season.
Streetwear Inspo:

The ultimate trendy fashion this season…streetwear. Any stunning outfit can be turned into streetwear with the perfect little touches. Streetwear is all about being oversized and comfy while looking stylish as ever. Pair this nude/pink trench (the perfect color this season) with an oversized hoodie of your choice (black is an easy go-to and matches everything) and some chunky boots to make the perfect streetwear look. We repeat…CHUNKY BOOTS is an absolute staple this season. Get them before they are all gone!!
Date Night Inspo:

Did your boyfriend or girlfriend suddenly find time to take you on a date night, but now you have no idea what to wear? Don’t worry, girl, we’ve got the perfect date night fit for you. An easy quick look to pull together would have to be a little black dress and some cute strappy heels. Everyone needs an LBD in their life, and if you don’t have one, get one. Don’t stress though, we have the perfect one here for you.
Pair your dress with some cute simple black heels and a lightweight trench. A trench coat dress, especially a colored trench, is the perfect statement piece. Usually, black or nude is a go-to for trenches, but if you want every guy and girl in that restaurant to wish you were their date, add a soft green trench to have yourself standing out in the best way possible.
Perfect Fall Day Inspo:

Need the perfect fall day fit? You’ve come to the right place because this fit is everything!! First of all, the nude jeans are so in right now.. 100% buying these Princess Polly ones right after this. Pair these fab nude jeans with a nude trench coat for a minimal look…then BAM, hit ’em with a pop of color with a blue sweater. This is a go-to fall fit that will have everyone coming to you for all their fashion inspo this season. Let’s not forget about amazing ankle boots.
Airport Inspo:

In many seasons, trench coat dresses are often our layer of choice when it comes to traveling. They are usually lightweight, so they’re great for plane rides (not to mention they work great as blankets)! Pair one with these fantastic lulu-align leggings (these leggings are a MUST for constant comfort while looking cute) and a comfy black long-sleeve. Don’t forget to add some comfy sneaks for all the walking you will be doing around the airport.
Trench Coat Dress Inspo:

Some may ask, “Can you wear a trench coat as a dress?” Girl, if Riri can do it, so can you!! If you blew big cash this season on a trench coat (a very worthy splurge in our opinion), why not wear it as a dress too? Our only tip would be to pick a lightweight trench if you are going to wear it as a dress. Also, consider staying primarily indoors when wearing it as a trench coat dress.
Length is important as well, and if you get too long of a trench, it will still look like a coat. However, if you get one too short, it could risk some flashing moments. Just to avoid any potential mishaps, be sure to wear something underneath – maybe a cute little slip dress, plus some strappy high heels.
Final Words…
Everyone seems to be talking about trench coats and trench coat dresses this season. From turning a trench into the perfect streetwear fit or even a classy look for a night out on the town, there are so many options. It also is the perfect layering piece to add to any outfit and make it even better.
So don’t hesitate to strut this season in your favorite trench coat – you might just become the most stylish friend in your group (until more people copy you)! And if it suits, add some chunky gold hoops and rectangular sunnies to complete your look. Finally, don’t forget to use #SuccessibleFashion on your next Insta post for a chance to be featured on our page. Who knows – you might even gain some more jealous friends!
Do trench coats go with dresses?
Trench coats are one thing you can count on to be an investment for both works and play because they look equally as beautiful with dresses and denim as they do with tailored pants and business attire.
How do you wear a trench coat dress?
When worn with jeans and a t-shirt or sweater, trench coats look fantastic. Try it on your next day off; it’s a favorite among fashion bloggers and models who aren’t working. You may also experiment with the top by wearing a denim shirt or dressing up the ensemble with a blouse that is only slightly unbuttoned.
Is it OK to wear a trench coat?
As long as you layer adequately underneath to avoid getting too hot or chilly, you can wear a trench coat all year long. Trench coats for the workplace that are neutral in tone, such as black, grey, beige, or khaki, go well with business attire.
