When it comes to buying clothes that are universally classic, and more importantly coming into winter, your wardrobe absolutely requires a cool trench coat. Because what's more timeless, right?
Made famous when it was manufactured by heritage Brit-brand Burberry, the trench coat has been an iconic wardrobe staple since way back when. 1879 to be precise.
Step out in a chic ensemble wearing your trench with skinny jeans, boots and a white tee or overtop a summer dress with shades, we've handpicked our faves for you to shop below plus a round up of online fashion retailers delivering the trench coat goods.
"The history of the trench coat is functional - it was designed for wartime. Everything was designed for a reason, which is why it is so beautiful and why it has become a design classic."
- Christopher Bailey, Chief Creative Officer at Burberry.

~ FAQ ~
Can you wear trench coats in the rain?
Why do they call it a trench coat?
The creator of the modern day raincoat, Thomas Burberry, coined the term early in the twentieth century after he invented a new water-resistant fabric called gabardine. The trench coat was worn by officers of the British Royal Army during World War I to protect them from the weather conditions.
