On the brand's Instagram story, she answered every British woman’s burning question as autumn approaches: “How to look stylish in the pouring rain?”
According to Lisa, “everyone needs a trench”.
A trench coat is a type of long, waterproof coat that originated in the 1820s and became staple military wear to protect soldiers from rain and harsh weather.
Overtime, the style has become a timeless classic - and every fashionista has one in their wardrobe.

Trenches typically feature double-breasting, a tailored cut and length that stretches below the knee.
The caped back allowed water to drip off, while designs with flaps at the shoulder provide ventilation.
