A trenchcoat is a raincoat made of waterproof heavy-duty cotton drill or poplin, or in some cases leather: it generally has a removable insulated lining; and it is usually knee-length or longer.

That is the technical definition for a trenchcoat, but according to me, it can be summed up in two words, MUST and HAVE. Everyone needs a trenchcoat for Spring. They are great to throw on and no matter what you are wearing underneath you will look pulled together on the outside. Try one in a pretty color for a pop!
