Burberry was the original company who designed the trench coat as we know it today. Established in 1856, the company's founder Thomas Burberry focused on outdoors attire with with the intention of producing a product that was water-resistant yet maintaining a breathable fabric. In 1914 Burberry was commissioned by the War Office to design their officer's coats to suit war conditions, hence the name "trench coat". Its distinctive black tan, and red pattern known as haymarket check or the "Burberry classic check" and was originally used as a lining for the Burberry trenchcoat in 1924. Queen Elizabeth II and HRH The Prince of Wales have granted the company Royal Warrants, for those companies who supply goods or services to a royal court. Burberry continues to design elegant fashions every season with fresh new takes on the classic military coat.

I never discounted again how much a hat can make a difference after my former boss told me she picked me out of a list of job applicants because my "vintage beret" displayed a sense of style and confidence. A unique hat can certainly turn heads and give you the advantage of looking fashionable without even trying. The Beret can be traced back as military headgear in ancient Greece, and caught attention again in WW1 by French alpine troops, and then again in WWII, by the Maquis. Hollywoods take on beret hats were revived again in the movie GI Goe. It was the Cuban leader Che Guevara who made the beret a worldwide symbol. Monica Lewinsky alone gained worldwide interest in the beret after her scandalous acts with the American President. Today beret hats are often featured in the fall runway collections of the most well known designers such as Versace, and Ralph Lauren.
