The weather at the moment is as reliable as a TfL train schedule, don’t get me started. You wake in the morning it seems a bit dull and overcast, by the time to get to work the sun is cracking the stones, you fly out to grab some lunch and it pours down and by the time you’ve arrived back to the office the sun has dried you off via its natural radiation, or it can be any of the mixed up aforementioned scenarios, literally four season in one day.
To combat this infuriating conundrum and make your life a little easier we’ve selected six of the best, of a piece of outerwear that EVERY man should possess, the Trench. Thin enough for the transitional period, thick enough to tackle most things Mother Nature can hurl at you, essentially enough to see you through whatever the weather and still having you looking sharper then sixpence, whatever that means ????
OK lets start with something a little left field and not your traditional Trench, from Belstaff @ Harrods.com
This is a classic in every sense of the word and if you look after it, it should return the favour. Jaeger @ House of Fraser
This trench is a must for the season and is from Marks & Spencer’s Autograph Collection so you can be assured of quality and price
Within Trench coat history there is an on going argument as to who first invented the Trench first, with Aquascutum claiming they did.
Whereas the other contender to this title, also holds the Royal Warrant. It is of Course Burberry, this example of the classic is from Burberry Brit at MrPorter.com
Fancy something a little more contemporary but that won’t go out of fashion ? Go for this Trench from Reiss available from JohnLewis.com
That Marks and Spencer number is a beauty
