Trench Coat Outfit Ideas
The trench coat is a timeless fashion staple, invented by Thomas Burberry during World War I. Burberry was commissioned to create a jacket that would be suitable for the then current conditions of warfare. An adaption of that jacket, the trench coat, was designed. It has since been recreated into various styles, making it a sophisticated and stylish addition to any ensemble. Moreover, these jackets are very durable and can withstand the weather well.
