Why a statement trench is your winter power move
A great coat is the first thing people see from fall through winter, so why play it safe? A statement trench does the styling for you. Throw it over jeans, a knit dress or your work clothes, and the whole outfit instantly looks put together.
Our newest trench coats go way beyond basic beige. Think sweeping pinstripes, a dramatic draped scarf lapel and electric metallic snake.
Below, we break down what to look for in a trench coat, the new Azalea Wang styles to shop, and seven ways to wear them.
What to look for in a trench coat
The right details make a trench coat feel expensive and keep it in your rotation for years. Check these five before you buy.
- The length. A longline or maxi trench creates one long, unbroken line that looks sleek and polished, especially with boots.
- The fabric. A heavy-weight, wool-look fabric gives you structure and warmth for cold days. Faux leather adds shine and edge.
- The lining. A fully lined coat slides on easily over sweaters and layers smoothly.
- The collar. Notch lapels feel classic and tailored. A draped or asymmetric lapel adds drama.
- The statement detail. Pinstripes, a bold color or a high slit turn a wardrobe basic into the piece everyone asks about.

TINA Grey Asymmetric Scarf Trench Coat ($139)
TINA is pure drama, in the best way. A draped lapel cascades down one side of this grey tweed-textured, wool-look longline coat, finished with a structured stand collar, double-breasted buttons and side slit pockets. It's fully lined, with no belt or hood, so it layers cleanly over everything.
Wear it with: tailored black trousers and pointed-toe boots, or a slinky slip dress for evening.
SKYLINE Navy Long Pinstripe Trench Coat ($139)
SKYLINE is power dressing, maxi-length. Sharp notch lapels, a structured spread collar, front buttons and flap pockets meet a sweeping navy pinstripe in a heavy-weight, wool-look fabric. It's fully lined, with a clean silhouette and no belt or hood.
Wear it with: a white button-down and straight-leg jeans, or a matching navy knit dress and knee-high boots.
SKYLINE Grey Long Pinstripe Trench Coat ($139)
The same sleek, sweeping SKYLINE in grey pinstripe. It's the easiest one to wear with everything in your closet.
Wear it with: an all-black outfit for a sharp contrast, or a cream turtleneck and grey trousers for a tonal look.
KATHLEEN Blue Snake Long High Slit Trench Coat ($99)
KATHLEEN is the showstopper. This electric metallic blue duster has a textured snake faux leather finish, a classic lapel collar and front buttons, plus a high front slit that adds movement and lengthens the leg. Think Y2K, Matrix-style drama.
Wear it with: an all-black base, from a fitted top to slim pants and stiletto boots, so the blue does all the talking.
7 ways to style a statement trench coat
- With jeans and a tee. The easiest upgrade there is. A long trench over straight-leg jeans and a white tee looks instantly polished.
- Over a knit dress. A sweater dress and knee-high boots under a maxi trench is cozy, sleek and warm.
- For work. Pair a pinstripe trench with tailored trousers and a crisp shirt for real power-dressing energy.
- With a slip dress. Contrast a soft satin slip with a structured coat for evening.
- All black underneath. Let a bold coat like KATHLEEN or TINA shine over a simple black base.
- With knee-high or thigh-high boots. A long coat that skims your boots creates one long, lean line.
- Tonal dressing. Match your coat to your outfit, like grey on grey or navy on navy, for a quietly luxe look.
Trench coat FAQ
Are long trench coats in style? Yes. Maxi and longline coats are a fall and winter staple, and they look especially sleek with boots.
What's the difference between a trench coat and a duster? A trench is usually structured, with lapels and buttons. A duster is a long, lighter, flowier coat. KATHLEEN brings the two together, with a duster length and classic trench details.
Are wool-look coats warm? The TINA and SKYLINE coats are made from a heavy-weight woven polyester designed to look and feel like wool, and they're fully lined for extra warmth and easy layering.
How do you style a pinstripe coat without looking too corporate? Pair it with denim, a slip dress or chunky boots to keep it playful.
Do these trench coats have a belt? TINA and SKYLINE have a clean, unbelted design, so they hang straight and sleek.
