It is the epitome of style. The classic piece of clothing that suits any occasion or season. The Burberry trench is possibly THE most iconic fashion item. It has proved so popular since its birth as military uniform due to it’s practicality and high wearability. Carrying a high sense of heritage along with the style and class it has developed and tallying up an impressive range of fashion credentials, we think this traditional trench doesn’t get the praise it deserves.

The timeless style has been carried from season to season under Christopher Bailey’s expert watch, and for this spring/summer we see the Tottenhil technical taffeta trench. An updated style for the warmer seasons this khaki trench still contains the classic Burberry features, the signature storm flap, double gold button detailing and epaulettes, yet the expanding design twist, ¾ sleeves and a sleek pearlescent finish update this lightweight, 100% polyester style. £695 available at net-a-porter.com.
