Trending for Spring: The Trench

A style that never dies, more iconic than ever in 2026.

Originating in the early 20th century, the classic Trench Coat took Britain by storm, offering a lightweight yet waterproof alternative to heavier coats customarily worn throughout that period.

Originally, as its name suggests, the Trench was created for soldiers subjected to wet and muddy conditions deep in the trenches, functionally designed with epaulettes for ranking, storm flaps and D-rings for soldiers’ military armaments & munitions.
