These are the trench coats you´ll need this season
Trench coats and waterproof garments have taken the runway by the storm. Not only they are the trendiest items to complement your winter outfits, they will also keep you warm and dry
Rain, thunder, and even lightning. You will have to fight the bad weather in the winter days and what better way to do it than with a warm, waterproof and stylish coat. Fashion designers have worked really hard this season to provide a wider selection for you to choose, but there was a clear winner on the runways. The trench coat, a classic created by Thomas Burberry to protect British soldiers from inclement weather in the trenches of World War I, has been revamped and this season, is the designers´ favourite coat.
For the 2019/2020 fall-winter season, wide shoulders come back, accentuated by lapel flaps reminiscent of the styles in the 80s. Take a look at some of the designs that stood out on the runways, we have selected the top coats for women so that you get some inspiration and include them in your closet.
Trench coats, the star on the runways
Gucci was one of the designers, among many others, showing this classic. The grey trench coat we seen on the picture gives the design an unexpected detail, decorating the piece with lines that bring the grey to life and emphasize the silhouette at the shoulders.
Kate Middleton sets the trend
Kate Middleton was ahead of the trend when she wore this coat with a detachable cape that, again, put all the attention on her shoulders. During an official visit to Northern Ireland, the Duchess of Cambridge wore this sky blue piece from Mulberry that made her look refreshingly elegant.

A classic design for the modern times
The shoulder flap that traditionally was placed on the trench coat's right side, known as a gun flap or storm flap, comes from the original design that allowed the waterproof garment to be staggered with an opening to let air in. This detail was preserved in modern designs like this one from H&M in faux suede with its attractive structural character. H&M ($59.99).
