A trench is a coat that remains current despite a 100-year-plus history. These timeless coverings are not only practical, their style longevity also makes them a closet essential for both men and women.

Burberry Vintage Check Cotton Trench Coat ($2,390)

It’s a worthy wardrobe investment for many seasons to come that can easily be handed down for generations.
