15+ Best Trench Coats Men Ideas 2022. According to Style Experts

All of the Trench Coats on Teeanime were chosen by our editors on their own. But if you buy something through one of our links to stores, we may get a commission.

Before TikTok kids showered in Arc’teryx, men’s trench coats were the first line of defense against horrible weather. During World War I, British soldiers wore trench coats made of gabardine, a durable cotton fabric similar to Gore-Tex. Trench coats are large enough to throw over a great suit, elegant enough to dress up a hoodie and jeans, and warm enough to wear in all except a blizzard.

The style swiftly accumulated enough movie credits to fill its own IMDb biography, becoming a global icon of tough-guy style. They helped gumshoe detectives or stoic hitmen keep a low profile while looking cool.

In a century, men’s trench coats haven’t evolved much. Even iconic variants had slimmer forms, more colors, and less clear design inspiration. In 2022, the trench coat isn’t the only foul-weather clothing, but it’s certainly one of the trendiest looking methods to stay dry. These are our favorites available today, ready to compete with you for the final broccolini at Whole Foods or that promotion at work.

Burberry “Kensingoton” trench coat

Burberry’s renowned trench is composed of water-resistant gabardine material it invented in 1879. Nearly 150 years later, the company still sells the Platonic ideal of the form, complete with traditional fixings: khaki color, epaulets, double-breasted silhouette, and Burberry’s unmistakable check pattern, a flex that says you know your menswear history and are willing to pay top dollar to own a piece of it.

Coherence AL II gabardine trench coat

Coherence modernizes the trench coat by making it longer and wider. The Japanese label specialized on 1950s-style raincoats. A flowing, knee-length silhouette and a forgiving cut, even over your snazziest fall blazer. It also has a removable melton wool collar for windy autumn days (or, er, neck).

Studio Nicholson “Ventus” coat

In 2022, trench coats are no longer double-breasted or belted. Studio Nicholson’s is Nick Wakeman’s anti-trend, no-frills menswear line. (If a trench is a roadster, this is a sleek electric automobile.) Even the color has been updated from khaki to a gray-ish shade, and the casual, oversized fit feels great for today.

If you’ve got $4K to drop on a coat destined to become a family heirloom, deposit your salary here and try not to be too peeved when your grandkids grab it from your wardrobe.
