This London Classic Is Back In the Lineup, and Suddenly Every Other Fall Jacket Looks Too Trendy
Save for outfit inspiration.
Some things never go out of style, like a pair of blue jeans, a white short-sleeve T-shirt, or, in keeping with the topic ahead, a trench coat. Timeless and classic, this Londoner favorite looks good thrown over just about anything. It finds its place on the coat rack during transition periods, just like now as we shift from summer to fall fashion. The trench coat's lightweight, breathable nature makes it the perfect layering piece for weather that—let's face it—isn't easy to dress for.
That said, its reappearance each year never misses a reinvention. London's fashion set knows the ins and outs of styling this fall 2026 essential. So I turned to my favorite UK-based fashion people for style inspiration.
London trench coat outfits have an air of nonchalance. In my research, I found it all comes down to casual styling. As an outfit repeater myself, I chose five looks you can mix, match, and re-wear without feeling stale. Scroll on to see how Londoners wear this khaki classic, or if you're looking to add it to your fall wardrobe, I've included my favorites from Artizia, COS, and J.Crew.
