I got some basic information about the trench coat from google.
I wanted too look at some history of fashion items, and the most popular item that I have knowledge of and have heard of is the trench coat. This is a raincoat made of waterproof cotton, it originally has removable insulated lining, it comes in various lengths usually ranging from mid-calf to above the knee.
The trench coat was first worn by British and French soldiers in the First World War, The classic color of a trench coat is khaki. Invention of the trench coat is claimed by both Burberry and Aquascutum, with Aquascutum's claim dating back to the 1850s. Thomas Burberry, the inventor of gabardine fabric, submitted a design for an army officer's raincoat to the United Kingdom War Office in 1901.
The trench coat has remained to stay fashionable following decades after the 2nd world war, the Burberry trench coat, has changed over the years, features on the coat have been changed slightly to keep it more up-to-date, it is still a very popular style coat. 
Looking at A/W trends, I could not find the trench coat, however I did find other coats, that were a very similar style, they were called 'fit and flare coat' so the style were very similar however the new style coat flares out a lot more that the burberry trench coat.
Found this trench coat in vogue, April issue, so the trench coat is still very popular with brands, because the coats are quite thin and light, they are popular this winter, but vogue is also saying this style coat will also stay popular in the summer this year too, for cool nights
