How the Trench Coat Became a Fashion Legend

The trench coat has over 150 years of history woven into its seams. Originally designed in the 19th century by innovators like Charles Macintosh and Thomas Burberry, it started as a practical solution for keeping dry in Britain’s notorious rain. By the time World War I rolled around, the trench coat had evolved into essential military gear for officers, with features like storm flaps, D-rings for equipment, and large pockets for maps. Its association with resilience and sophistication made it a post-war fashion favorite, embraced by Hollywood stars and everyday style enthusiasts alike, including film and fashion icon Audrey Hepburn.
