The Iconic Trench Coat

Happy Labor Day! Hope you had a great long weekend.

If you are following me then you know I went to Las Vegas for a mini getaway with hubby.

If there is one fashion item that I can wear over and over again it would be the iconic trench coat. And no, you don’t have to spend 2 months of your rent to look good.

Trench coat is one of the most signature outerwear not just for men but also for women. The iconic coat was patented by Thomas Burberry in 1912 as the Tieloken, the trench coat. Burberry created the water and wind proof fabric called gabardine, which would prove essential for soldiers in the trenches during World War I, and hence the name trench coat.

But it was Hollywood that turned the iconic trench coat from historic to famous. Do you remember the final scene of ‘Casablanca’ where Humphrey Bogart was sporting that coat? Audrey Hepburn in ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’? And so on…

To this day, almost every single celebrity from Alexa Chung and Kate Moss to Gwyneth Paltrow and Victoria Beckham has been spotted wearing one.

Now you can own a piece of that iconic trench coat and look better than any celebrity for a fraction of the price at 1 2 3 Paris, known for making high-quality fashion accessible to all women. They offer free worldwide shipping on orders of €120 or more.

In my opinion, regardless of age or gender, everyone in the world should own a trench coat because it is ageless, timeless, and seasonless.
