Trench coat

A classic that’s made a comeback

You’re seeing it on everyone and anyone these days – the trench coat! We’re definitely talking about a style that has truly made a comeback. It first came to the fore thanks to Thomas Burberry, whose brand managed to turn this distinctive coat into a stylish piece of outerwear. After experiencing fluctuating popularity over recent decades, this iconic coat has returned to the fashion scene in full force and has regained its status as an indispensable classic in women’s fashion. The lightweight, intricately detailed jacket, which was originally used as practical military clothing during the First World War, has cemented its position as one of the most sought-after pieces of outerwear, capable of adding a touch of style and edge to any outfit. So if you don’t already own one, just go ahead and add one to your basket; it’s a must-have in any fashion-conscious woman’s wardrobe who’s looking for the perfect transitional coat that can be worn for just about anything.

What characterises a women’s trench coat

The modern and traditional women’s trench coat is typically made from a thin, lightweight and waterproof fabric, and it is precisely these qualities that make this type of coat ideal for the changeable Danish weather. In addition, the trench coat features elements such as a lapel collar and a button fastening, which help to give the coat its distinctive look. And of course, we mustn’t forget to mention that every trench coat comes with a belt or tie that is fastened around the waist to accentuate the figure. The finishing touch to this jacket is usually the epaulettes around the wrists and on the shoulders, which contribute to the classic look.

But what actually distinguishes a women’s trench coat from the men’s version? Is there any difference at all? One notable difference between men’s and women’s trench coats is that men’s coats are often more boxy, with a broader chest and shoulders as well as longer sleeves, whilst women’s coats tend to be slightly more figure-hugging. The most striking difference, however, is the placement of the buttons; on men’s coats, the buttons are on the right-hand side, whilst on women’s coats they are on the left-hand side – just as you might recognise from shirts and all other buttoned garments.

The transitional jacket that goes with everything

One of the most appealing features of the trench coat is its fantastic ability to go with almost anything – and, not least, to suit most women, whatever their body shape. This popular coat is the obvious choice when you want to dress fashionably, whether as part of your everyday look or as outerwear for a party.

The trench coat is available in both the classic black colour and in several lighter shades such as beige and white, and thanks to these more neutral colours, you can always easily style the coat to create a wide range of looks. For example, try pairing a trench coat with a shirt and a pair of smart trousers for a day at work. If you’re after a slightly more relaxed look, you can easily team the trench coat with a pair of jeans and a simple T-shirt. For more festive occasions, you could choose to wear a trench coat over a pretty dress and high heels. And we could go on, as the possibilities are virtually endless, and the trench coat proves time and again to be an outstanding piece of outerwear that can be adapted to any style and situation.

Trench coats to suit you and your preferences

Trench coats come in many different styles and lengths. You can find both shorter jackets that end at the hips and longer versions that reach down to the ankles. Whether it’s short or long, one thing usually remains the same: the material. Trench coats are primarily made from a lightweight cotton fabric, and that is precisely what makes them particularly popular in the spring and summer months. Here, it serves as the perfect extra layer, protecting you from chilly breezes without making you overheat.

Here at TEESHOPPEN, you can explore the many styles and find all types of women’s trench coats. Perhaps you prefer a classic trench coat with a belt and single- or double-breasted buttons. If you’re looking for something a little different, you could opt for a modern, oversized trench coat without a belt, which gives a more relaxed look. There are plenty of options here in the shop, so whatever your style, we’re pretty sure you’ll find a trench coat to suit your preferences.
