© Burberry  - The history of the trench coat
© Burberry

It's a classic staple in every fashionista's wardrobe, and has stood the test of time without ever going out of fashion. The trench coat was one of the very first masculine looks adopted by women. Track its journey from the trenches to the catwalk

Immortalised on the big screen, adapted by designers and adopted by fashion icons, the trench has taken many a modern twist and is akin to a second skin for the style-conscious.
