The trench coat has become a wardrobe staple and the brand is synonymous with this style. Christopher Bailey wanted fans of the item to engage with each other by tapping in to their passion for the item.

They became a fashion item in the 1960s and were made popular by fictional characters such as Dick Tracy and Rick Blaine from Casablanca.
It is defined as, "A raincoat made of waterproof heavy-duty cotton drill or poplin, wool gabardine, or in some cases leather: it generally has a removable insulated lining; and it is usually knee-length or longer."

How Would YOU Wear It? Katie Holmes
I'm hesitant to diss Katie Holmes' style because I am of the camp that thinks her fashion sense has grown leaps and bounds post Tom Cruise. That said, simply put, she sometimes dresses too old for her age.
We get it, she has an older man to keep up with, but that doesn't mean she has to dress his age.
