Art of the Trench

by Christie Nowels


There really is one item that holds a timeless piece in every working girl's wardrobe - the Trenchcoat. It's no secret that Burberry has perfected the art of the trench with a rainbow of colors, textured fabrics, and even the most eccentric shapes. As a classic, a Burberry trench can stand alone in its own glory no matter the time of day or the unpredictable London weather. I chose this black, wool and cashmere blend in the classic 'Kensington' style as my ideal everyday coat for the colder months. I couldn't be happier with the tailored cut and rich embellishments that add a sense of chic to any ordinary day. This is a true investment piece for the colder season, but I promise it's worth every penny. 

Burberry has been a favorite of mine for years for its high standards in quality and fashionable style. This quintessential British brand has been making raincoats since 1850, but it wasn't until the 40's that they started becoming fashion statements. The quirky nickname, the Trench, actually began as the name of the men's version of this stylish coat, while the women's model was still called the Glenco. The 1950's continued the glory days for Burberry with Hollywood's elite wearing its trademark designs. Since 2001, Christopher Bailey has transformed the Burberry brand into the modern era with fresh faces and cutting edge designs that have enhanced its status as a global icon. And of course, social media has helped too...
