Trench coat by Burberry

British brand Burberry has made a huge contribution to the development of the fashion industry and the formation of modern style.

Today we will talk about Burberry-style raincoats, which are also called the exotic word "trench coat". You will learn about the characteristics and varieties of these raincoats, as well as get some useful advice on choosing and buying a Burberry raincoat.

The history of the appearance of the trench coat is closely related to the history of the development of Burberry itself. The year of its foundation is considered to be 1856 - it was then that Thomas Burberry opened his first manufacture store in a small English town called Hampshire.

Almost a quarter of a century later, the owner of the store came up with an unusual material that was waterproof, but at the same time, it was breathable. Burberry received a patent for a new fabric and named it "gabardine". They began to sew raincoats from gabardine, which were much more comfortable than the heavyweight macs that men wore at that time.

Such raincoats became widespread during the First World War, as they perfectly protected from the weather. This is where the new name for gabardine raincoats originated: trench coat translates as "trench coat". In the post-war years, trench coats became popular among the civilian population, including girls.

What is a Burberry raincoat?

Over the more than a century of history of the trench coat, its appearance has undergone some changes, but still the Burberry raincoat has managed to retain its most recognizable features:

• simple and laconic silhouette;
• straight or slightly flared cut;
• minimum decor;
• double-breasted style;
• large turn-down collar with a V-neck;
• yoke on the back;
• adjustable cuffs;
• belt tied at the waist;
• Shoulder straps;
• restrained colors (the classic model is made in beige);
• Burberry check fabric is used as lining.

The Burberry brand has developed several lines of raincoats in different styles, so that every fashionista could find a model to her liking and figure.

The trench coat is a model of a classic style, as close as possible to what the very first raincoats of this company were. It has a loose fit and a flowing silhouette. The classic trench coat can be either short or standard length - just above the knee.

The modern trench coat is a model that corresponds to the fashion trends of the last decade. She has a straight, clear silhouette, but at the same time does not look overly strict, while retaining the softness and femininity of forms. The modern Burberry raincoat has three lengths: classic, mid-thigh and short.

A snug trench coat is a skinny model that, contrary to the name, does not fit the figure, but only emphasizes the shape. Tight-fitting trench coats can also be of different lengths: there are both very short models, barely covering the upper thigh, and elongated versions, reaching the middle of the lower leg.

Burberry trench coats differ not only in the features of styles and silhouettes. Each new fashion season, the brand's designers present to the public a collection of raincoats made in a specific color scheme and from specific materials.

Collection in shades of green and blue. Here are collected models of muted shades - both monochromatic and with a print. The materials used are very different: from natural silk to gabardine and python leather.

Collection in reds, purples and pinks. Here trench coats are presented in bright, saturated, as well as gentle, pastel shades. The line includes both models made of dense, waterproof fabrics, and thin Italian lace.

Collection in honey tones. This line combines Burberry raincoats, made in golden-beige-cream colors. Here trench coats are presented mainly from cotton materials, as well as from satin and silk.

Burberry's monochromatic trench coat collection is black with occasional white splashes. In it you will find raincoats, various in terms of style and silhouette. The choice of materials is also quite large - from silk and Italian lace to patent leather.

Burberry uses a variety of materials to produce its famous raincoats. This is not only gabardine, which brought the brand worldwide fame, but also other fabrics - natural, blended and artificial. Here are just a few of the long list of materials that Burberry designers and constructors work with:

• lace (mostly made in Italy);
• cotton fabrics (satin, satin, gabardine, cotton);
• synthetic fabrics (taffeta, polyester, polyamide, blended cotton);

• silk;
• wool;
• suede leather;
• patent and matte leather (lamb, python).

Burberry raincoats differ in a variety of colors, however, despite a fairly large selection of colors and textures, beige models with lining in the famous black-red-white check are considered the most popular.

Those who are more fond of bright colors and rich colors will surely appreciate the green, blue, red and pink trench coats from the company's designers. Fans of strict style and restrained shades will love black, white and gray models.

As for the print, the choice of pattern is very small. Usually it is either a floral ornament or a pattern that imitates snake skin.For young women of fashion, we advise you to pay attention to Burberry raincoats with a romantic heart print.

The trench coat, invented by the designers of the fashion corporation Burberry, has become a real classic, a symbol of elegance and good taste. Such raincoats are worn by world celebrities - actresses, politicians, supermodels, etc. In movies, we now and then see heroines dressed in a recognizable beige raincoat.

Such popularity of Burberry trench coats fully explains the fact that now there are many very similar models released by different, sometimes completely unknown manufacturers. Burberry-style raincoats find their customers, because not every fashionista can afford an original item from this brand.

A genuine Burberry trench coat can be purchased at the Burberry store or brand department, or online at the Burberry official website. Buying trench coats from this manufacturer somewhere else, you run the risk of getting a fake, which an unscrupulous seller claims to be the original.

The price of Burberry trench coats depends on many factors, including how “fresh” the model you choose is and the material of the product. The price range is from 40 to 500 thousand rubles. Moreover, the most expensive raincoats are models made of genuine leather.

Burberry raincoats belong to the classic style of clothing, therefore, they are best combined with things that are refined, strict and elegant. A safe bet is a trench coat with a sheath dress and pumps. In this ensemble, a dress can successfully replace a pencil skirt with a blouse, top or shirt.

Such raincoats love stylish and expensive accessories - leather bags and gloves, silk scarves, glasses from famous brands, high-quality jewelry and costume jewelry.
