Is the Chelsea trench worth the price?

If you want a slim, tailored trench you will wear for years, the cut and cotton gabardine justify it for many buyers. If you need a roomy rain coat or heavy layering, a cheaper technical coat will serve you better.

How does the Chelsea fit compare with the Kensington?

The Chelsea is the slimmer of the two, cut close through the body and chest. The Kensington is a more relaxed classic fit, so choose Chelsea for a tailored look and Kensington if you want to layer.

Can I wear it in winter?

It handles spring, fall and mild winter over a light knit. In cold or wet weather it is not a substitute for an insulated or waterproof coat.

What colors does it come in?

Listings show black, grey, blue, beige, neutrals, honey, yellow and coal blue. Color availability changes by store, so check the specific listing.

How should I care for it?

Dry clean only. Spot-clean small marks and hang it on a wide shoulder hanger to keep the shape.

Trench prices move with end-of-season sales and color clearance, and honey and black tend to hold value best. Compare stores and check the price history before buying.

Our take on the Burberry Women's Chelsea Heritage Trench Coat

The Chelsea is Burberry's slim-fit take on its heritage trench, cut close through the body and double-breasted with a button front. It is made from cotton and cotton-blend gabardine in a range of colors including honey, black and coal blue, with a lapel collar and a dry-clean-only care label. The slim fit runs close, so it suits a tailored look more than a roomy layering piece. It is a long-term wardrobe purchase, and prices vary widely by store and color, so compare before buying.
