Did you know the iconic Burberry trench coat is now 100 years old? It was initially designed as an alternative to the heavy greatcoats worn by soldiers in the First World War (developed prior to the war but adapted for use in the trenches, hence its name).
Over a century later and the trench coat (or Mac) is as popular as ever, a classic coat that will never go out of style and loved equally by men and women. I for one have the Burberry Trench high up on my ‘dream designer’ wish list. However, until I win the lottery, I’ll have to make do with the high street versions.
Here’s my pick of the best on the market…
From left to right
1) Topshop £79
2) Topshop £69
3) Mango £69.99
