Spotted on the streets of Copenhagen Fashion Week, leather trenches are what to buy for the season ahead.
Leather (and pleather) trench coats are calling our names this autumn, as we welcome The Matrix into our wardrobes. Whether you want to find one like Neo’s or you’re taking your cues from Copenhagen Fashion Week (look to Jeanette Madsen for ultimate trench inspiration), there are myriad options to choose from.
Looks aside, these coats are a great pick for cooler days. Leather is, after all, one of the most warming materials to wear as the cooler winds gradually start to breeze through. Pleather or vegan leather offers an option for anyone who abstains from wearing animal skins – and it’s often less costly too.
Layered over a collared knit for a more structured look, a joyful jumper to add a pop of colour or even a simple T-shirt and jeans, a good leather trench is sure to see you through this autumn/winter and seasons more to come.
So, from chocolate brown and chic cream to greens and wear-with-anything black, keep reading to see our favourite picks from the high street for autumn.
