Stylist Picks: Outerwear Spring 2025

With rainy seasons turning corners, there is no timeless option as trenches and car coats. Personally, I’m obsessed with the classic barbary trench and the late 90s Marit Nesit Boncar coat. Both are undoubtedly big investments and staple foods that have stood the test of time.

I’ve always been a fan of the iconic trench coat, but sometimes I feel a bit too much when it comes to traditional design, double brain front, lots of buttons and epaulette details! The long sweep silhouette is stunning, but it doesn’t always suit every occasion.

So, Carcoat intervenes as the ultimate alternative. A refined minimalist care coat gives the outerwear a refreshing, slightly formal twist. Combined with a flattering A-line shape, its single-breasted design offers an easy and refined look. This film isn’t just about driving or rainy days. It’s a real wardrobe chameleon. Whether draped into an evening dress or paired with jeans and simple tees, the coat of care remains highly relevant, while offering a balance of refinement and ease of use. It’s not just classic, it’s modern. The understated elegance of care coats is versatile and timeless, making it the best option to stylishly navigate rain and sparkle.

Whether it’s available in classic trenches or want to try out a chic care coat for its size, here is my top pick.

Spring 2025 Outerwear

Alexa Lizzy ShowerProof Car Coat Editing Barber

Incredible collaborations from my two greatest favorites of all time. I’m absolutely obsessed with Lizzie – wide sleeves and a pop of bold colors: this definitely straightens up to my barber collection.

Massimodutti trench coat with removable scarf details

I love this trench removable scarf. It is very versatile and can pull it apart as a scarf on a rainy day. Plus, the length is perfect for those who are not fans of the mid-style style.

Burberry Long Gabaldinker Court

Please wear it with or without a belt. This timeless investment piece will be a go-to for decades to come.

COS Extra Large Volume Car Coat

Another fascinating take on the care coat, featuring raglan sleeves and an enormous silhouette. Cos continues to make timeless pieces attractive and stylish.

Silk and cotton row tavisina coat

Another timeless investment piece. The cool plaid print is a stunning statement and versatile enough to style it as a dress with a smooth, thin leather belt.

James Smith Pencil Umbrella and Wenge Kane Crook

High quality umbrellas are very luxurious. One of the best in business is the London umbrella shop, a must-see for umbrella enthusiasts. You will never be seduced by the deli display again!
