I stand corrected: I’m not finished updating my fall capsule wardrobe because Olivia Wilde just convinced me to jump on the trench coat bandwagon.
While out on fall walk, the actress was photographed in the expensive-looking coat we’re seeing everywhere this season. Effortlessly stylish yet functional, trench coats are strategically designed to repel wind and rain and typically have an interior lining for extra warmth — making them a smart choice for transitional weather.
Plus, the overcoat’s structured silhouette and polished features make it easy to dress up any outfit, including even laid-back sweatpants. Wilde layered a khaki trench coat over her otherwise casual lounge set, which she paired with black sneakers. Try out the look with Amazon’s versatile selection of trench coats, starting at $40.
