Thomas Burberry, who invented gabardine fabric, designed a serge raincoat for British officers in 1901. Soldiers in the trenches dubbed them "trench coats" and the name stuck. Trench coat shoulder straps were first used to hold gloves or caps, while D-rings secured grenades, bayonets or firearms. This original role lent trench coats respectability, and they passed into fashionable use. From a utilitarian item of warmth to a standard for fictional detectives in novels and film, the trench coat has become a fashion icon.

Today, women's trench coats come in an array of materials, and most, in keeping with trench coat tradition, are processed to withstand weather variations. A few dressy women's trench coats, while retaining classic styling, are just for fun or evening wear.
