Fashion enthusiasts in Paris are set to pair their jeans with this clear outerwear essential as autumn approaches.
Autumn in Paris is a breeding ground for fashion clichés that somehow appear more stylish than anywhere else. While trench coats may not be revolutionary, Parisians have managed to present them this season in a way that feels completely fresh. After all, no one does timeless pieces quite like the French, and their knack for transforming something as basic as jeans and a trench coat into a complete ensemble is truly inspiring. During my stroll through Paris (and while browsing countless fashion accounts), I came across several trench-and-denim looks that seemed to serve as a guide for fall fashion in 2025. Some took on a preppy vibe, others were minimalist, and a few were surprisingly daring. Below, I’ve highlighted five outfit ideas that you should save for your seasonal wardrobe planning.
**Sunny-Side Trench**
Being styled like a walking butter stick is back in vogue, and it has never looked better. To pair a trench coat with jeans in a way that feels fresh and exciting for 2025, try this ensemble, and don’t forget to take note of those resin bangles and consider getting a pair for yourself.
**Suede Season**
Suede trench coats started making an appearance last fall, and this season they are set to truly shine. This type of coat can effortlessly elevate any basic outfit, giving the impression that you’re sporting a full “look.”
**The Disappearing Act**
With sweeping outerwear trending, there’s no better time to sport just a trench coat. Naturally, fashion enthusiasts know the importance of having a good pair of jeans underneath. The optical lenses and animal-print bag complete the outfit perfectly.
**Necktie Chic**
It might sound a bit cliché to say that French individuals are tying scarves around their necks with trench coats and denim, but while I was compiling this article, I saw this quintessentially Parisian combination more often than I could count. This is further evidence that in fashion, old clichés tend to make a comeback.
**Prep-School Energy**
Don’t hesitate to fully embrace the preppy trend by pairing your favorite trench coat with a button-down shirt, a sweater, and a belt. It’s an effortless way to utilize what you have and achieve a polished appearance instantly.
