As fashionistas prepare to swing into spring, trench coats are once again de rigueur for the season of April showers and May flowers. Whether you’re sporting dark denim this season or turning up the feminine charm in a lacy frock, a classic beige trench coat can instantly bring a ladylike finish. If you’re updating your own trench coat style this spring, here’s how to take your sartorial cues from the likes of Karlie Kloss, Alexa Chung and Scarlett Johansson.

Karlie Kloss

The 23-year-old Chicago-born model looks gorgeous in a three-quarter length, camel-coloured coat paired with a neutral ensemble. Follow Kloss’ leading example this spring, by styling your trench with a basic white tee and a camel-coloured miniskirt adorned with metallic buttons. For an authentic model off duty vibe, accessorize your look with a pair of black suede knee-high boots.

Alexa Chung

Try combining an edgy military inspired topper with a feminine and dainty frock, as spotted on Alexa Chung. The 32-year-old British style icon proves that she can rock the best of both worlds, as she makes a splash in her olive green trench coat. Meanwhile, Chung’s lacy white high-collared dress and black pointed-toe ankle boots help to complete her look.\

Scarlett Johansson

The 31-year-old actress stuns in this beige trench coat, which is a timeless look with its bold black buttons and contrasting sleeve detail. Johansson’s white and black sheath dress accentuates her curvaceous figure, while her nude pumps emphasize her leg line. We are also liking the Hollywood beauty’s funky round aviator sunglasses, for a playful contrasting touch against her elegant and ready-for-business outfit.
