Trinny Woodall just wore the perfect autumn coat - the sophisticated tweed style is so timeless and versatile it will work for every occasion
Trinny Woodall's longline tweed coat oozes sophistication


We've fallen in love with Trinny Woodall's chic tweed coat, with the longline tailored style making it the perfect autumn jacket to wear day-to-day for an elevated look.
Finding the perfect flattering winter coat can be a challenge. There are so many styles on the market and finding a staple that can easily transition from day to night, and from casual to formal, is a struggle.
But we've found the perfect inspiration in Trinny Woodall, who just wore a beautiful longline checked tweed coat with a flattering pair of denim jeans and a plain white T-shirt.
We love her £1,700 Checked Tweed Coat from ACNE STUDIOS, but it's constantly sold out and is also on the pricier side. But, luckily, there are a variety of similar and more affordable styles out there on the market.

Trinny kept her look casual, letting her coat shine as a statement piece. Leaning into a laid-back though chic look, she wore a pair of flattering mid-rise, wide leg jeans in a light indigo denim, creating a simple and crisp base with the addition of a plain white T-shirt.
She finished off the look with a comfortable and stylish pair of white trainers, with minimal jewellery accessorising the outfit.
The coat worked brilliantly with the casual-chic look and the brilliance of the elevated style is that it works equally week with more formal outfits too.
