When it comes to timeless style pieces, there are few more important and globally recognized than the trench coat (and perhaps bomber jackets and aviator glasses for that matter too). With an extensive history that dates back to the 1800s, trench coats are a symbolization of status and sophistication whose roots began with the British Military Officers from that time period who wore the coats as a way to distinguish ranking, file, and class differences. You could very well say that trench coats for men were something comparable to a military uniform, obviously making them held in high regard. As far as the coats becoming more available to regular “civilians,” and a modern high fashion staple so to speak, well that is something that remains debated to this day. Whether that's the case or not, today we're taking a look at the best trench coats for men from the Banana Republic Water-Resistant Trench Coat ($189.99) to the coveted Burberry Short Kensington Heritage Trench Coat ($2,590)
