    4 Ways to Fashionably Style a Sleeveless Trench Jacket

    We have all fallen in love with the new Sleeveless Trench Jacket Trend. I have several textures in several colors. Here are 4 Ways to Fashionably Style a Sleeveless Trench Jacket with pieces you may already have in your closet. Let’s get into these details.

    1. As a Dress

    Styling the Sleeveless Trench as a dress can be a cute date night look. Because it’s winter time I decided to layer an off-the-Shoulder crop top under the jacket and style it with a pair of black sock booties.

    2. As a Dress with a belt

    Wearing the sleeveless trench jacket looks is even better with a belt. Any belt will do for this look. The sleeveless trench jacket shown is a brown rust color. I choose a leopard print belt from a collection of three belts I got for less than $20 from Amazon (linked above).

    3. With Leggings

    Ladies you can throw on a pair of leggings or leather leggings to sport with this look. If you are going out with your girlfriends you can add a cute over-the-shoulder bag and a pair of block heel booties.

    4. With Jeans and Sneakers

    Lastly, you can also style your sleeveless trench with a denim shirt, black distressed jeans and leopard sneakers.
