WINTER TEMPS feel more unpredictable than ever these days. Depending on where you are, it's not quite time to pull out your big black puffer jackets, thermal underwear, and winter gloves. Instead, go with a trench coat that'll keep you warm and protected from the elements. Originally designed to keep the British army warm and damp-free from weather conditions during World War I, today's trench coat still serves the same functional purpose, while also looking great.
A good trench coat can cheer up any winter blues. For the most durable jackets, look for ones that have water-repellent cotton or waterproof Gore-Tex fabrics. The resilience of a trench coat sets it apart from its outerwear cousin, the topcoat, which is typically made with thicker wool or wool-blend material.
