I Tried Old Navy's Bestselling Trench Coat, and It's Worth the Hype

Everyone needs a good trench coat in their fall wardrobe. Admittedly, I only recently bought one after borrowing and not returning my mom's years ago (for the record, I'm not proud of this). But I'm happy to report that I recently purchased the Old Navy Water-Resistant Tie-Belt Trench Coat ($85), and everything I wanted: chic, timeless, and versatile. Ahead, find out everything you need to know about the brand's bestseller before you add it to your shopping cart.

What I Like About This Trench Coat

I scooped up this trench in my usual size medium, choosing the ivory color dubbed "Wish Bone." Right upon slipping it on, I knew it was a keeper. For starters, I fell in love with the length, which hits just below my knee. And there's no shortage of stylish details, from the tortoiseshell buckle and buttoned epaulettes to the button-tab cuffs and storm flap in the back.

I'm also a big fan of the material. While it's been too hot where I live to wear it out and about just yet, I'm confident that its smooth texture is firm enough to hold its shape in a breeze yet soft enough that it'll feel comfortable even after hours of wear. It's also water-resistant, making it ideal for days when the weather looks questionable.

What's Worth Noting

The first thing worth noting about this trench coat is that it's slightly oversize, which I like because it means it won't feel tight over fall sweaters - and IMO, it makes it look more fashion-forward, too. But some shoppers intentionally sized up to achieve a roomy fit and found that they were "swimming in it." The takeaway: order your usual size for a slightly oversized fit and a size down for a more fitted look.

Another thing worth flagging is that this trench coat is really lightweight and born to be a thin layer of outerwear. For that reason, it makes a great transitional piece as temperatures start to get chilly and it will also keep you from getting overheated when layered over a warm sweater. Nonetheless, a few reviewers "wish the material had weight to it."

Who This Trench Coat Is Best For

This trench coat is perfect for those like me who have been meaning to add the style staple to their fall wardrobe - and want a style under $100 that's suitable for all occasions.

Additional Details

  • This trench coat comes in three colors: ivory, dark beige, and black.
  • The trench coat comes in sizes XS-4X.
  • To clean it, machine wash on cold, gentle cycle, and hang dry.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
