Name an article of clothing more iconic than the trench coat. Go ahead, we'll wait.

A style that was originally designed for British and French army officers in the pre-World War I days, the double-breasted, khaki topper has become indispensable during the transitional seasons in modern times. Typically cut from cotton gaberdine, it is water-repellent, lightweight yet insulated enough for colder days, layerable, and above all else, can be dressed up and down with ease.

"The trench coat is one of those classic pieces that, at its core, remains timeless but is also always able to be updated to fall in line with current trends," says Jordan Foster, Style Director of Favorite Daughter. "A wardrobe staple must be versatile and the trench continues to be the jacket in everyone's closet fulfilling that need as it goes with jeans and a tee, to a slip dress and heels, and everything in between."

Ahead, the best trench coats to invest in and wear all spring long.
