The classic trench coat has long been a symbol of timeless style, and its visionary silhouette was created by the founder of the fashion house, Thomas Burberry. The idea first came about when the founder searched for ways to improve the existing waterproof clothing. With Britain’s familiarity with the cold and rainy weather, no silhouette could keep out the rain while staying comfortable and breathable. Until he discovered the perfect fabric to deliver the results he needed that checked all the right boxes: gabardine.

Invented in 1879 and patented in 1888, gabardine evolved into a defining fabric for the fashion house. Just recently, Burberry delivered a stunning homage to its storied legacy by unveiling its latest campaign titled “170: The Anniversary Portraits”. Crafted through the lens of renowned photographer Jack Day and filmmaker Hector Aponysus, the campaign features a tapestry of 170 voices from across London, New York, Seoul and Shanghai, capturing the unique stories and culture of its wearers in the signature Burberry trench coat.

At the heart of this storied campaign are three Southeast Asian fashion luminaries—Ameera Khan, Proud Oranicha, and Yoyo Cao—and here is how they styled the iconic outerwear silhouette.

The Art Of Styling The Classic Burberry Trench Coat

Ameera Khan

Ameera Khan flaunts the Lakefield Trench Jacket with a modern, elegant twist. A reimagination of the classic silhouette, the latest iteration embodies sophistication with its double-breasted closure and refined set-in sleeves. The jacket’s House Check lining remains prominent on the lapels, especially when it’s tied elegantly with the belt. To complete the look, she paired the outerwear with tailored trousers, pointed-toe pumps and a medium Rider bag to conquer any day-to-night affair.

Proud Oranicha

Proud Oranicha has always been known for her playful and fashion-forward choices. With the Long Garbardine Lakefield Trench Coat, Proud pairs the outerwear’s elegance with a touch of whimsy. She aimed for a contrasting look in a pastel colourway, pairing a ruffled skirt and a lace top under the trench coat, which oozes confidence with its classic fit and set-in sleeves. To finish off the overall ensemble, she added a layered necklace and a beaded charm choker for a pop of colour.

Yoyo Cao

Yoyo Cao embraces the timeless Long Gabardine Lakefield Trench Coat with another time-honoured piece: denim. The trench coat features a set-in sleeves and a striking double-breasted button closure, complemented by a hook collar. However, its mastery lies in the details: epaulettes, a throat latch, a storm shield, and a gun flap. Thanks to the trench coat’s refined silhouette, the fashion maven pairs it with flared denim jeans, cinching the waist with belted cuffs and the B buckle belt for versatility and comfort. She also pulls up the throat latch to keep warm in London’s chilly weather, adding a sense of finesse to the overall look. With a look that’s just as quintessential, all you’ll need is a pair of boots or sneakers to complete the look as you embark on your city adventures.
