Spring trend: The classic trench coat

This iconic topper has entrenched itself as an outerwear mainstay with deep roots that go back over a hundred years to fashion powerhouses like Burberry and Aquascutum. Today, it’s just as relevant, practical and flattering.   Whether you opt for traditional tan or a more colourful version of this season's staple, we say bring on the inclement weather!
