Our shortest tester for the men’s coats was 5-foot-9 and our tallest was nearly 6-foot-4, and both of them liked how the length hit them. If you need something to help keep your bum and thighs dry but don’t like your raincoat to fall too low, the Moss is exactly in the middle (it’s about 2 inches longer than the hip-length Columbia Watertight II and 2 inches shorter than the Hunter). You can tighten the cuffs on the sleeves with snaps these cuffs were better than the Eddie Bauer Girl On The Go’s nonadjustable cuffs at keeping water out and customizing fit, but not as good as the the Columbia Women’s Arcadia coat’s Velcro cuffs, which allowed the most fine-tuning. Testers also loved that the colors of the zippers matched the coats’ colors. The design allows you to unzip the bottom of the coat for ventilation, and this makes it easier to sit down in longer versions of the coat. Testers said the H2Off’s two-way zipper was among their favorites. The hood is adjustable with a Velcro strap (though testers didn’t need to use this feature), and it’s deep enough for most hairstyles, except high buns, and hair thicknesses. The fully taped seams help to block water, and the top half of the lining is mesh, which makes the coat breathable. The H2Off’s fabric was thicker than that of the Columbia and J.Jill coats we tested, and it felt smoother than the fabric of any of our other women’s picks. This was typical for most of the coats we tested, but it seemed to roll faster from the H2Off than from the J.Jill and Eddie Bauer coats. I think it’s held up beautifully and looks so chic and tailored, so, really, unless you just have money to burn, you’re fine spending under $200 and getting a gorgeous, timeless trench coat.In the rain, water rolled right off the H2Off jacket. Typically, I try to remember when I got things by remembering what apartment I lived in at the time…and, honestly, I can’t recall. My coat was the $198 version from London Fog and I bought it several years ago. I’ve found that below $150, the options tend to veer a little further from “classic,” though I do think they have their place if you want a trendier coat for a year or two.

I think there are tons of great options in the $150-$250 range, and that’s why I included the full range, with prices, in my roundup below. Who doesn’t want the $1,890 Burberry version?! But, you can also go the other end of the spectrum with a $109 Halogen coatthat looks super cool. With timeless pieces in your wardrobe, there’s always the option to save or splurge. It even has a bit of French girl appeal, and isn’t that always the goal? Pop the collar a bit in the back and you’re effortlessly (with a little effort) cool.
You could wear the most simple black turtleneck and leggings, but throw on that trench and you’re oh so sophisticated. It’s one of those pieces that whenever you throw it on, you look instantly chic. Of course, the holy grail of classic coats is the trench coat. (No, I did not cut my hair – but this is how short it was several years ago!) A CLASSIC and BUDGET-FRIENDLY LONDON FOG TRENCH COAT From a Barbour jacket to a feminine wool coat (seriously, I have it in this exact hot pinkthat’s current…except mine is from 8 years ago) to a leopard faux fur, when you buy a classic coat, you’ll have it forever. I’m a big believer in investing in pieces – especially for outerwear – that never go out of style. These pictures are from one of my first blog shoots in DC, but I’m bringing them out again because this coat is still such a classic - a budget-friendly London Fog trench coat.
