Ahh, the Burberry trench coat. The perennial classic synonymous with the brand Burberry, just like their iconic check patterns. This season, I walked into the Burberry stores and fell in love, just like every single time.
Burberry's new fall collection introduces their classic trench coats in 2 lovely colours: Mahogany Red and Military Navy. They are called the Mid-Length Cotton Blend Trench Coat.
How could you not fall in love with these? They are cotton blend coats, made from 96% cotton and 4% elastane. The belted waist gives definition to the silhouette and they come up nicely to just above my knees (I'm short, so it makes a nice 3/4 length coat). The colours are magnificent as they complement the autumn season, but these winter coats will surely last you through winter nights and cold spring days.The material gives off a slightly glossy look, but not a shiny patented feeling, but neither does it give a dull look to your appearance.
And of course, if you prefer the more classic muted colours, they also come in Dark Trench (nude) and Black. These two colours also come in a variety of silhouettes and materials in case you prefer something thicker, or a fuller skirt.
Here's another coat that caught my eye in the stores. The Ponyskin Sleeve Cotton Gabardine Trench Coat has sleeves that are made of black ponyskin hair (in case you haven't figured out from the description). I'm not a particular fan of sleeves that are of a different colour from the coat. But the Elderberry (dark purple) colour is very beautiful and striking, and purple has been lauded as the colour for this Fall. Also, with the ponyskin sleeves, I suppose one would feel a lot more warmer than the usual cotton blend. It is made from 100% cotton, and unfortunately does not include this gorgeous leather belt.
Since I don't jetset to cold countries very often, and I also don't have a spare S$2000 lying around, I'll have to make do with pictures. Which are your favourites?
