Trenchsetter - The trench coat as an all-rounder

Originally made for the British military as protection against the wind and weather, the classic trench coat still retains some of the details of the original cut.

But it wasn't its eventful history that made the trench coat a classic - it was the movie! Whether it was Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca, the protagonists in Hitchcock's signature feature films or style icon Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's: they all wore it and elevated it to the Olympus of fashion.

It has never really gone out of fashion and yet is celebrating a comeback this year: the trench coat.

Hardly any other item of clothing is as stylish and easy to combine as the trench coat. It has passed many fashion trends by and taken its permanent place in our wardrobes. Its basic shape is consistent and yet the trench coat is so versatile that it can adapt to (almost) any fashion style. We'll show you what makes the trench coat so talented and how you too can become a real "trendsetter" with this new it-piece!

As unique as you are: what makes a real trench coat so special

While the trench coat used to be made of gabardine, a particularly water-repellent fabric, today we can choose from the whole range of fabric types and colors for our pop classic trench coat. Nevertheless, a beige trench coat is still the first association we have when we think of the stylish coat from England. However, there are now also many trendy derivations that are based on the classic trench coat but have been slightly modified in one way or another.

THE LATEST TRENDS AT BUGATTI - THE TRENCH COAT STYLE

The classic trench coat

What makes the classic trench coat unmistakable, apart from the special narrow cut, is above all the double-breasted button placket. Each coat also features the typical tie belt with a D-shaped buckle, which makes it easy to accentuate the waist.

On warm days, the belt is tied loosely at the back and the trench is worn casually open. The buckles on the sleeves are often in the same style as the belt. And it is precisely these small details that make a coat so special.

The most important trench coat rule: the buttons only serve as eye-catchers and are not intended to close the coat. On colder days, you can simply turn up the collar, fold the coat at the front and tie it up with the belt. Sean Connery couldn't do it any better.

Features of a trench coat - the all-rounder

The shoulder straps, to which the soldiers' rank insignia were once attached, are one of the unique features of a classic trench coat. The so-called turtleneck also had a practical use in the past and, as a second layer of fabric, allowed water to run off better over the shoulders. The walking slit also dates back to the military era. The trench coat can look back on an eventful history and still has many features that make it unique in the fashion world. However, there are also a number of interesting branches that the shape of the trench coat has taken in the meantime. However, the typical features of a transitional coat still include a slim cut, the turned-up collar and the fact that the coat is knee-length.

Fashion that's always right for you - the trench coat in an everyday check

HOW SUITABLE IS THE TRENCH COAT FOR EVERYDAY WEAR? WE SHOW YOU HOW TO WEAR THE TRENCH COAT AND THE BEST WAY TO COMBINE IT!

The trench coat in the office

You're on your way to the office or to an appointment and naturally want to cut a good figure. In this case, the trench coat makes it easy for you: whether you wear it with a suit, over a jacket, with a blouse, skirt or dress. The trench coat supports your business look and gives you a casual touch at the same time. When combining a trench coat with a dress or skirt, make sure that the garment underneath the trench coat is a hand's width shorter than the coat itself. And for the very brave: some opinions are against the combination of a (long) dress and trench. We say "Only the brave win admiring glances!" ;-)

The trench coat - our absolute all-rounder

In your private life, you will certainly not have imposed a dress code on yourself, but an individual style, so you can simply wear your trench coat or transition coat at any time. It is the all-purpose weapon in the office, in your free time or for formal occasions and can be combined with almost any item or style of clothing. And if you like to wear unusual outfits: All the better! Combine the trench casually with jeans, a sweater and bright sneakers. Or at a spring wedding with a dark blue suit and light brown lace-up shoes. It's your everyday companion that you can reinterpret again and again. And with its special aura, it never looks outdated, but timelessly elegant and stylish.

The trench coat for traveling

For the trench coat, it makes no difference whether you're walking across a crowded train platform or taking a leisurely stroll through the old town of Rome - it accompanies you on every trip and adapts to your situation. This classic piece is the perfect travel companion and an expert in its field as a transitional coat. It protects you in light rain and thanks to its breathable material, you won't break a sweat even on a sunny sightseeing trip.

If it gets too chilly, simply turn up the collar and tie the coat at the front with a casual knot. If you are really too warm for the trench, turn it into a cool accessory and simply wear it casually over your shoulder or as a cape. Otherwise, the trench coat should always be worn open and will give you a particularly cool look when walking (and in light winds).

We love the many ways to wear and combine the trench coat. Get into the spring mood and discover the exciting colors and styles in our spring collection.
