As the seasons transition (welcome, fall!), getting dressed and figuring out what to wear can be a struggle. Before you head out the door, grab a lightweight topper and you'll be prepared for anything that unpredictable autumn dishes out. A classic trench coat is timeless and works in every season. It's definitely one of our wardrobe staples.

We love how Liv Tyler has topped her trench over stripes, a slim-cut pair of denim pants and black, ballet flats. Whether you’re touring the city or running errands, this is a great go-anywhere fall outfit.
