Trench coats have been a classic style forever, but the past few years they have also become very trendy. Because of this, now in addition to the traditional camel or khaki colored trench, they are also available in leather, wool and other fabrics and in a variety of lengths, colors and fabrics.

The trench coat has been around since the late 1800s to early 1990s. It was originally designed for and used as a rain coat for British and French Military Officers. Other militaries, including the US, copied the design and by the end of World War II the trenchcoat had found its way into the mainstream. The original coats were waterproof and had removable linings.

Trench coats have been around for over a century, and they still remain one of the most useful and fashionable articles of clothing in existence. Everyone, no matter what shape or size, will look good in a trench coat. The trench coat was originally developed as an alternate to the heavy rain coats worn by the British soldiers in World War I, and were used by the British into World War II as well. By that time, however, other countries had developed similar styled jackets; including the United States, Russia, Germany, and France. Trench coats were originally worn down to the knees, but as the war progressed, the shorter style of trench coat became more desirable, as they allowed the wearer to be more mobile. During this period, the trench coats came in only four colors: tan, beige, khaki, and black. It was worn as a windbreaker and a rain coat, but not for any type of warmth.
