Leather Trench Coats for Women: Long, Belted and Built to Last
Leather Trench Coats for Women: Long, Belted and Built to Last
A leather trench coat keeps the classic details of a trench, the belt, the storm flap and the deep collar, but swaps cotton gabardine for leather, so it is windproof, warmer and far more striking. The best are long and belted, and this edit picks them from our trench coats and leather coats edits, from Nour Hammour, Mackage, Magda Butrym and Zimmermann.
Key facts
- A leather trench keeps the belt, storm flap and deep collar

How a leather trench should fit
Leave room for a knit underneath. The shoulders should sit at your own shoulder, the sleeves should reach the base of the thumb, and the belt should tie at the natural waist. Long trenches look best with the belt knotted rather than buckled.

How to wear it
- Belted over a knit dress and knee boots.
- Open over jeans, a T-shirt and loafers.
- Over tailoring, with the collar turned up.
Frequently asked questions
Are leather trench coats in style?
Yes. Leather trenches return every autumn, and long belted styles are the strongest this season.
Is a leather trench coat warm?
Warmer than a cotton trench and windproof, but not insulated; layer a knit underneath in winter.
How long should a leather trench be?
Knee length is the most versatile; midi and maxi lengths look best over trousers and boots.
Can a leather trench get wet?
Light rain is fine. Let it dry naturally, away from radiators, and never store it damp.
