Brummell’s five ways to wear team shows how to style the iconic Burberry trench coat
Thomas Burberry revolutionised outerwear when he invented the weatherproof fabric gabardine in 1879, leading to the creation of the hard-wearing raincoat that protected soldiers during the First World War.
While the iconic Burberry trench we know today has evolved to become a sophisticated staple for cosmopolitan men and women about town, the Westminster extra-long trench coat still features signature design details inspired by the original trench coat from the Burberry archives, including a gun flap at the chest and a storm shield on the upper back.
Made in England, the relaxed fit of this trench lends itself to being worn as an extra layer – belted over tailoring or open over denim – and every aspect of the coat has been considered to provide protection from the elements, whatever the weather throws at you.
