Trench coats are like your best girlfriends; they are there for you through rain or shine. This timeless coat is undoubtedly an iconic piece when it comes to outerwear. Thomas Burberry knew exactly what he was doing when he released this coat made of gabardine many years ago, and it still stands as a staple piece in our closets today.
t
t With brands like Burberry, Ann Taylor and other modern designers, the style has remained relevant with a multi-purpose reputation. The trench coat has certainly evolved over time, giving us versatility with studs, leather accents and various lengths, but it’s nothing like the classic style. With it being refashioned over the years, we have picked up this trend for just about any occasion. Versions of the trench are priced anywhere from $50 to $1,500, so there is no excuse for you not to own one. From casually chic to your sporty-luxe wear, watch how the classic trench coat can be remixed three ways for the spring season.
