Burberry Cloak

The British brand Burberry has made a huge contribution to the development of the fashion industry and the formation of a modern style.

Today we’ll talk about Burberry-style raincoats, also called the exotic word trench coat. You will learn about the characteristics and varieties of such raincoats, as well as get some useful tips on choosing and buying a raincoat from Burberry.

The history of the appearance of the trench coat is closely related to the history of the development of Burberry itself. The year of its foundation is considered to be 1856 - it was then that Thomas Burberry opened his first manufactory shop in a small English city called Hampshire.

Almost a quarter of a century later, the store owner came up with an unusual material that had waterproof properties, but at the same time, it let air through well. Berberry received a patent for a new fabric and called it “gabardine”. Cloaks began to be sewn from gabardine, which were much more convenient than the heavyweight macs that men wore at that time.

Such raincoats were widely used during the First World War, as they perfectly protected from the weather. This is where the new name for gabardine raincoats came from: trench coat translates as “trench coat”. In the postwar years, trench coats became popular among the civilian population, including among girls.

What is a raincoat invented by Burberry designers?

Over the more than a century-long history of the trench coat, its appearance has undergone some changes, but nevertheless, the Burberry cloak managed to retain its most recognizable features:

• simple and concise silhouette;
• straight or slightly flared cut;
• minimum decor;
• double-breasted style;
• large turn-down collar with a V-neck;
• yoke on the back;
• adjustable cuffs;
• belt tied at the waist;
• "Racers" on the shoulders;
• restrained color scheme (the classic model is made in beige color);
• Burberry cage fabric is used as lining material.

Burberry brand has developed several lines of raincoats of different styles, so that each fashionista could find a model for her liking and figure.

A raincoat trench is a classic style model that is as close as possible to what the very first raincoats of this company were. It has a loose fit and a flowing silhouette. A classic trench coat can be either shortened or standard length - just above the knee.

A modern trench coat is a model that matches the fashion trends of the last decade. She has a straight, clear silhouette, but does not look too strict, while maintaining the softness and femininity of forms. The modern Burberry cloak has three length options: classic, mid-thigh, and short.

A tight-fitting trench coat is a narrowed model that, contrary to the name, does not fit the figure, but only emphasizes the shape. The fitted trench coats can also be of different lengths: there are very short models that barely cover the upper part of the thigh, as well as elongated versions reaching the middle of the lower leg.

Burberry trenkots differ not only in the features of styles and silhouettes. Each new fashion season, brand designers present to the public a collection of raincoats made in a certain color scheme and from certain materials.

Burberry uses a wide variety of materials to produce its famous raincoats. This is not only gabardine, which brought the brand worldwide fame, but also other fabrics - natural, mixed and artificial. Here are just a few of the great materials that Burberry designers and designers work with:

• lace (mainly Italian production);

Those who like bright colors and rich colors more likely will appreciate the green, blue, red and pink trench coats from the company's designers. Fans of strict style and restrained shades will like black, white and gray models.

As for the print, the choice of drawing is very small. Usually it is either a floral ornament or a pattern imitating snake skin.We advise young fashionistas to pay attention to Burberry raincoats with a romantic “hearts” print.

Designed by the designers of the fashionable Burberry corporation, the trench coat has become a real classic, a symbol of elegance and good taste. Such cloaks are worn by world celebrities - actresses, politicians, supermodels, etc. In the cinema we continually see heroines dressed in a recognizable beige cloak.

Such popularity of Burberry trench coats quite explains the fact that now a lot of very similar models have appeared, released by different, sometimes completely unknown manufacturers. Cloaks in the style of Burberry find their customers, because not every fashionista can afford to get the original thing from this brand.

A genuine Burberry cloak can be purchased at a company store or brand department or online store on the company's official website. Buying trench coats from this manufacturer somewhere else, you run the risk of getting a fake, which an unscrupulous seller gives out as the original.

The price of Burberry trench coats depends on many factors, including how “fresh” the model you choose is and on the material of the product. The price range is from 40 to 500 thousand rubles. At the same time, the most expensive raincoats are models made of genuine leather.

Burberry raincoats belong to the classical style in clothes therefore, they are best combined with things refined, strict and elegant. A win-win option is a trench coat with a sheath dress and pumps. In this ensemble, a dress can successfully replace a pencil skirt with a blouse, top or shirt.

Such raincoats are loved by stylish and expensive accessories - leather bags and gloves, silk scarves, glasses from well-known brands, high-quality jewelry and jewelry.
