A first-rate trench is a lifetime investment, suitable for every season. Gabardine is the ideal fabric due to its breathable, waterproof qualities, and pared-back shades are simultaneously timeless and on-trend.

Originally designed as a military coat, the trench coat’s staying power has seen it take up a permanent spot in the fashion hall of fame. Its understated simplicity makes it the perfect way to temper a bright outfit, or to add a dash of professional polish to more casual attire.

If you’re after something traditional, Burberry’s Heritage Waterloo trench coat in a muted beige shade is the ultimate investment. Khaki options from Musier Paris and Totême are equally chic, meanwhile Raey’s navy style is a favourite among the Vogue editors.
