6 Trench Coats for Fall

The trench coat is one of those basics that everyone needs in their wardrobe. The style can either be worn with a dress for a feminine look or toughened up with a military touch. Retailers like Simons have a wide selection of trenches for the fall season. The history behind the trench coat goes back to Thomas Burberry (yes, that Burberry) who is credited with making the design in the 1880s. Whether worn during rain or shine, the style has gone on to be a timeless staple for women throughout the years. Check out our list of six fall trenches below.
