....Everlasting style....

I'm with Burberry!!! how do you wear yours

Homage..... orginating in 1901 the trench coat was officially the army officers rain coat, then it became optional item for the British army. Renound to withstand wind and rain it became a fashionable item once Thomas burberry and aquascutum took hold...
From tere it took off, and has been renounded for films such as Casa blanca, Breakfast at tiffanys and within the book series of "a series of unfortunate Events, where lemony snicket was shown in photographs wearing a brown trench coat...

Too today.......

The years of Burberry





The years of Burberry






The trench coat dates back way before it was even considered wearable in the streets,the 1800's to be exact...

...and who popularized them?

Burberry , I bow my head down to you Thomas Burberry

What year was your favourite?, Mine well it has to be 1940'sx

Opposites attract


Well i think that this epitomises the very reason why trench coats are so timeless and popular , it is versatile to the point that both these two men wear it, and wear it god damm well!!!
OK so although the guy on the left is allot more,hmmmm appealing to the eye, i have to say man with beard, you to wear it very well and with a hint of 'Don't mess with me' attitude.

Urban edge


Going back to the point of trench coats being so versatile to the individual styles of others, this girl spotted in the streets of London clearly demonstrates that point. She has added some urban attitude to the classic cream trench through combining the cap, with the long socks, personally i like the cap with the trench, but not so sure about the socks, yet she rocks it anyway. What do you think?

Reinventing the trench coat




Milan Spring 2010 trend.
I liked the Missioni wrinkled effect on the trench (Gave it a distinguishable look), and bailey for burberry has now being able to soften the trench coats characteristic rigid silohette due to advances in fabric tecnhology, which allows the colars and lapels to be wider to.
But you tell me which one is your favourite for 2010 and why?
