Trendsetter - the all-rounder trench coat

Although it never really went out of fashion, it’s celebrating a comeback this year: The trench coat. No other piece of clothing is as flattering and wearable as the trench coat. It has outlasted many passing trends and secured a permanent spot in our wardrobes. Its basic shape is timeless, which is what makes the trench coat so versatile and wearable with (almost) any look. We’ll show you the hidden talents of the trench coat, and how you too can become a real trendsetter with the new it-piece.

Originally manufactured for the English military to protect against wind and bad weather, today the design of the classic trench coat still retains some of its former details. But it wasn’t its lively past that made the trench coat become a classic.

That’s thanks to cinema! Whether it was Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca, the protagonists of Hitchcock’s signature films or style icon Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's: They all wore the trench coat and made it into a fashion superstar.
