We can thank British designer Thomas Burberry for putting the Trench coat firmly on the fashion map over 100 years ago when he submitted a design for an Army officer's raincoat to the UK War Office in 1901...hench 'trench' in the name.
It's fair to say we haven't looked back since. The gabardine, water-repellent camel coat has become a timeless classic- not just for men, but women too.
We've spotted whole host of celebs sporting the style, and we've fallen madly in love with the mac all over again.
But whose style will you be stealing? Why not take style inspiration from presenter Rochelle Humes who opted for a classic tan style and updated it with knee high snakeskin boots.

Or if you're looking for a statement piece the trench has come a long way from its war uniform days with designer brands and high street names give it a modern update in various colours and fabrics -including leather,suede and Broderie Anglais.
Lady Gaga looked gorgeous in this feminine baby blue belted trench. Pastel shades are always a pretty option for spring if beige isn't your shade, and look fresh teamed with denim or white.
Amal Clooney, Rosie Huntington Whiteley, and Alesha Dixon wear the must have neckline of the season
Actress Sarah Paulson on the other hand went for the all out wow factor in this floral Micheal Kors mac-who doesn't love a floral print come spring?
So whether you opt for a traditional camel shade, beige is bang on trend this season, or fancy something a little brighter to cheer up those rainy April days, there really is an affordable style to suit all.
