Digging Out of the Trench-es

Seriously, doesn’t the picture make you wanna scoop your trench today? !It’s an absolute classic ~ light and practical, and ideal for spring.

Thomas Burberry was commissioned by the British government to design a trench coat in 1901. The idea was to have outerwear that officers could throw on and create a more authoritative position.

Nothing has changed ~ it has remained true from the clean, tailored shape and the crisp beige hue, to the deep pockets, wide collar and waist-cinching belt. A century later, it’s still pure style.

While the Burberry is a classic investment, there are other fabulous options that still convey cool and stylish authority.

Style notes: I scooped the J.Crew Icon trench and have zero regrets; definitely one of the best outerwear investment ever!!
