There are several types of outerwear that will never go out of fashion, and these include trench coats. The production of these things began during the First World War, and initially they were sewn for foot soldiers, but over time, civilians began to wear raincoats, not only men but also women. Today, trench coats produce world famous brands, including Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana and Chanel.
