Yet with all the remixes and updates to the trench, the classic styles (the Kensington, the Chelsea, the Camden, and the Waterloo) remain enduring wardrobe staples. A breakdown of all of Burberry’s heritage trench coats, below.
Burberry Heritage Trench Coats
Kensington
For a modern take on the structured design worn by British soldiers, turn to the Kensington. The timeless silhouette has a classic fit that’s perfect for bundling up underneath. The longest length is slightly shorter than others, stopping just above the knee on a five-foot-ten model, or slightly longer than 41 inches. Another attribute that sets this one apart is that it comes in cashmere, just in case you’re in need of something cozier.
Sizing: The Kensington comes in a regular fit. It fits true to size, take your normal size.
Chelsea
If you’re a fan of a body-hugging silhouette, the Chelsea will be your go-to. Named after the west London neighborhood, this slim-fit design is cut close to the body to fall flat on the shoulders and be snug at the waist, creating a subtly chic fit-and-flare silhouette when belted. The longest option of the Chelsea falls just below the knee on a five-foot-ten model, while the mid-length style hovers above the knee. Rounding out the Chelsea collection is the shortest option, which is reminiscent of a longline blazer with a mid-thigh hem. Depending on the length you select, there are currently two to three colors to shop on the brand’s website—a sharp black, a dark coal blue, and a classic honey shade.
Sizing: The Chelsea is cut to a fitted silhouette. It fits true to size, so size up if you want a more relaxed fit.
Waterloo
Named after London’s busy district, the Waterloo is the closest to the military-inspired original style. The longest length tapers off mid-calf on a five-foot-ten model and is slightly longer than 45 inches in length. Right now the Burberry website is offering the Waterloo in a few fabrics and colorways: a leather in camel, the cotton gabardine in three classic shades (honey, coal blue, and black), and the cotton gabardine with the iconic Burberry check covering the lapels.
