"Everyone has those clothing items that they take with them wherever they go. For me, nothing works harder in my travel wardrobe than my collection of trench coats (particularly my leather one)-and for good reason. Not only do the sleek silhouettes offer protection from tricky weather conditions-like wind, rain, or a light chill in the air-but they're also versatile (and practical) enough to be worn while en route, adding a more elevated element to my on-the-go ensembles."
"By definition, a trench coat is a long, usually double-breasted raincoat made from gabardine, a water-resistant material that resembles khaki. Created in Great Britain during the early 1800s, the heritage design was originally made as a polished and uniform way for World War I soldiers to fight against harsh climates, but has evolved into something a lot more common for every day wear, regardless of weather."
Trench coats serve as durable, versatile outerwear that protect against wind, rain, and light chill while elevating on-the-go outfits. Leather and classic gabardine styles withstand frequent travel and maintain shape through wear. The design originated in early 1800s Great Britain for World War I soldiers, and Burberry popularized a signature version in 1897 that remains iconic. Traditional trench features include a belted waist, back vents, storm flap, epaulettes, and deep pockets for essentials. Contemporary interpretations blur strict category lines, expanding silhouettes and materials while retaining the practical, tailored silhouette that enhances everyday outfits.
