Amal Clooney Made This Closet Staple Look 10 Times Cooler

What do leather jackets, simple white tees, pencil skirts, and trench coats have in common? They're all utterly classic and versatile wardrobe staples that you can wear on repeat and will seldom tired of. But of course, there are always new and updated versions of said pieces that catch our eye from season to season, with the latest iteration of the tried-and-true trench spotted on none other than Amal Clooney.
Clooney stepped out on the streets of New York City yesterday wearing a belted leather trench by Alexander Wang, which featured an overlay of tan twill that hinted back at the coat's origins. Simply put, she made this classic closet staple look 10 times cooler (and super edgy). Wouldn't you agree?
She styled the hero piece in the best possible way, pairing it with a sleek little black dress, a pair of neutral pumps, and a black leather tote bag—her entire look is cohesive and classic but with an über-cool twist. Now, read on to see Clooney's full look, and then shop her leather trench coat while it's still available.
