However, trench coats can be tricky, unless you mix and match your outfit correctly, even though they go with formal, semi-formal and casual clothing, while making you look equally diva-like each time. Once you know how to style a trench coat, you can step out and look like you’re about to attend Paris Fashion Week, just by styling your trench coat right. Here are some outfit ideas for inspiration, so that you can make any trench coat look like a million bucks.
1. Match your trench coat

If you have a trench coat in a primary or monochrome colour, and you are wondering how to style a trench coat, grab a well-fitting black top and a pair of comfortable jeans, and throw on your trench coat to create a drop-dead gorgeous casual style. You can accessorize with matching shoes and a cross-body satchel, but you can also go elegant chic with a pair of stilettos and a tote bag.
2. Wear it over a dress

Trench coats and dresses are some of the most elegant combinations, but unfortunately, not enough people are bold enough to try this. If you have a dress whose length is shorter than your trench coat, then there is no reason why you shouldn’t wear them together. However, make sure that the colours are not contrasting each other, and instead, use them to complement each other, by choosing from the same colour family (in this case, white and nude).
3. Sleeveless trench coats

For a gorgeous, casual look, pair a sleeveless trench coat with a body con shirt, with any length sleeves and high waist jeans or trousers. You can even pair it with short skirts and midis, because a sleeveless trench coat is a show stopper, irrespective if season or fashion trends.
4.Trench coat clinched at the waist and layered

Layers make everything better, a rule that is not exempt of trench coats either. For extra chilly days, pair your trench coat with a pair of jeans and tie the belt around your waist to create a structured look. Increase the diva quotient by adding a scarf around your neck and tucking it into the belt completely or partially for a look that is street-smart and casual.
5.Pair your trench coat with shorts

Who would have thought that a trench coat and a pair of casual mini shorts would look this cool? The longer the trench coat, the better your look will be. The length of the trench coats contrasts beautifully with the length of your shorts, and you can either wear the former tied up or left loose.
6. Avant garde monochrome

Few combinations are as classic and timeless as monochrome combinations, which is why you can use that funky trench coat to spice up any outfit that you might have, especially if it comes in black and white and grey. The bold embroidery on the trench coat goes surprisingly well with the polka dotted shirt and the high waist trousers and I am in love with the pop of pink on the stilettos.
7. Old school styling

If you are confused about how to style a trench coat, go old school without a doubt in your head because it will always look amazing. Pair your trench coat with a pair of leggings, and if you are feeling extra adventurous, throw on a cute little hat that matches with your outfit to radiate those Audrey Hepburn vibes.
Oversized is awesome

Contrary to popular belief, oversized clothes can be made to look fashionable as hell. Pair your oversized trench coat with a plain black and white ensemble. You can make your loose trench coat look controlled if the rest of your outfit fits well and is shapely, so tucking your shirt in helps.

If you have a fancy formal party to attend, then you wouldn’t think of your trench coat instinctively. However, this is the best way to stand out and look chic AF. Pair your trench coat with a formal shirt and a super pretty lace midi. For an extra fancy look, keep your trench coat slung over your shoulders instead of actually wearing it.

Any old trench coat can be made to look fancy and high-end when you pair it with the right accessories, in this case, a suave little fedora. At the risk of looking dangerously British, you can pair your trench coat with a pair of leggings and a fedora, for that semi-formal, cold-season ready look.
13. Leather with your trench coat

A great way to make your trench coat look fancy, is when you mix and match it with unconventional material like leather. This look is even more appealing because of the mini skirt, which contrasts the hemline of the trench coat and makes it look like the bomb.
14. Metallic trench coats

Anything metallic is amazing because metallic apparel is so on trend right now. There is no need to pull out your creative faculties for your outfit, when you have a trench coat that was stitched to steal the show. This golden creation was paired with a simple white ensemble, to create a de-structured, futuristic yet fashionable look. 15. Minimalistic chic trench coat look

There is something super chic about matching styles like this one, where the open trench coat makes the slit on the wrap around black skirt look so appealing and chic. Pair that with a basic, simple white turtleneck and you have yourself a look fit for the front row.

To get that ill-at-ease yet on top of the fashion game look, then you can try loosely tying your trench coat, instead of tying it all the way around for that sexy, laid back look. Pair it with a cute dress, or formal or semi formal separates whose waistline aligns with the belt of the trench coat.
