Trenchsetter - The trench coat as an all-rounder

Originally designed for the British military as protection against wind and weather, the classic trench coat still retains some of its original details in its cut. But it wasn't its eventful history that made the trench coat a classic – it was film! Whether Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca, the protagonists in Hitchcock's signature films, or style icon Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's: they all wore it, elevating it to the heights of fashion.

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

Hardly any other piece of clothing is as stylish and easy to combine as the trench coat . It has transcended many fashion trends and taken its place in our closets. Its basic shape is enduring, yet the trench coat is so versatile that it can adapt to (almost) any fashion trend. We'll show you what makes the trench coat so special and how you, too, can become a true "trench setter" with this new must-have piece!

As unique as you: That's 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 a wide range of fabrics and colors for our pop classic, the trench coat. Nevertheless, a beige trench coat is still the first association we have when we think of this stylish coat from England. However, there are now also many trendy versions that, while based on the classic trench coat, have been slightly modified in one way or another.

THE LATEST TRENDS AT BUGATTI – THE TRENCH COAT STYLE

The classic trench coat

In addition to its distinctive slim fit, the classic trench coat is distinguished by its double-breasted button placket. Additionally, every coat features the signature tie belt with a D-shaped buckle, which easily accentuates the waist.

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

The most important trench coat rule: Buttons are purely decorative and not meant to close the coat. On colder days, you can simply turn up the collar, fold the coat together at the front, and tie it with the belt. Sean Connery couldn't do it better.

Features of a trench coat - The all-rounder

The shoulder straps, to which soldiers' rank insignia were once attached, are among the unique features of a classic trench coat. The so-called Koller also had a practical purpose in the past, acting as a second layer of fabric to allow water to drain more easily over the shoulders. The walking slit also dates back to the military era. A trench coat can look back on an eventful history and still possesses many peculiarities that make it unique in the fashion world. But the branches that the shape of the trench coat has taken in one place or another are also impressive. The typical features of a transitional coat still include a slim fit, a turned-up collar, and a knee-length hem.

Fashion that's always right - The trench coat in everyday life

How suitable is the trench coat for everyday wear? We'll show you how to wear it and how to combine it with other pieces!

The trench coat in the office

You're on your way to the office or an appointment, and of course you want to look your best. A trench coat makes it easy: whether you're wearing it with a suit, over a jacket, with a blouse, skirt, or dress. The trench coat supports your business look while also giving it a casual touch. When combining a trench coat with a dress or skirt, make sure the garment underneath the trench coat is a hand's width shorter than the coat itself. And for the truly daring: Some opinions oppose the combination of a (long) dress and a trench coat. We say, "Only the brave win admiring glances!" ;-)

The trench coat - our absolute all-rounder

In your private life, you probably haven't imposed a dress code, but you do have a unique style, so you can simply wear your trench coat or transitional coat anytime. It's the all-purpose weapon in the office, during leisure time, or for special occasions, and can be combined with almost any item or style of clothing. And if you like unusual outfits: even better! Combine the trench coat casually with jeans, a sweater, and light 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 always reinterpret. And with its special aura, it never looks outdated, but timelessly elegant and stylish.

The trench coat on the go

For the trench coat , it makes no difference whether you're walking across a crowded train platform or leisurely strolling through Rome's old town – it accompanies you on every trip and adapts to your situation. This classic is the perfect travel companion and, as a transitional coat, an expert in its field. 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 with a casual knot at the front. If you're really too warm for a trench coat, turn it into a cool accessory and wear it casually over your shoulder or as a cape. Otherwise, the trench coat is best worn open, giving you a particularly cool look while running (and in light winds).

We love the many ways to wear and style the trench coat . Get into the spring spirit and discover the exciting colors and cuts of our spring collection.
