This time of year can be difficult to dress for, with the sun making occasional (but welcome) appearances and the temperature still dropping below minus, our wardrobes have to be extremely versatile, that's why trench coats are back on our radar.
As march draws closer I'm on the hunt for inspiration for how to style a trench coat, and Jennifer Lopez's 2024 look shows exactly how. On the streets of LA, she was spotted wearing a botanical printed Christian Dior trench coat, with beige wide leg trousers and a soft knit, and heeled brown boots, an outfit so simple, yet quietly luxurious, and one that features everything we want our spring capsule wardrobe to include.
A lightweight knit under a trench is the ideal combination for entering spring, enough warmth for cooler mornings but never too heavy for sunnier afternoons. Plus, adding smart tailored trousers and heeled boots means that this look can be worn for almost any occasion, from wearing to the office to styling for the ultimate date night outfit.

The finishing touches to Jennifer's outfit include the light pink Chloé octagon-frame sunglasses and Dior Mini Lady Dior Bag in Pine Green Patent Cannage Calfskin. These contrasting tones add a much-needed pop of colour to an otherwise all-brown look, you could also try adding splashes of crimson red or bright yellow to your classic beige trench coat in the form of a shoulder bag, scarf, or some vibrant trainers.
Pairing the classic beige trench with similar light brown tones feels luxurious and intentional. She also opts for a slightly dark, light mocha shade for her wide leg trousers, and she adds dark brown heeled boots, which again ties perfectly with the classic beige tone of the trench.
