My first day in Paris and already I am back to stalking...
Le TRENCH COAT! And this was 2 steps away from where I'm staying - impossible to miss.
In fact if you are in Paris right now you can not miss le trench coats all over, like here going into the Opera Metro (ligne 8, 3, 7)
Who knows how long Burberry has been making le Trench? They are the Trench masters no doubt.
OK, now to get started PB readers, I hope you have your notebooks out.
Trench coat: impermeable sport coat with a belt.
Collar: part of the clothing that surrounds the neck.
Lapel: folded up part of the collar falling on the chest.
Belt loop: vertical attach into which slips a belt.
Flap pocket: pocket provided with a lapel.
Sleeve loop: attach into which slips a sleeve.
Belt: accessory allowing to maintain and adjust a clothing.
Button: piece being used to attach a clothing or as a decoration.
Storm patch: yoke on the front and the back.
All this from infovisual.
A little French intro is required as well from French Wiki:
Un trench-coat est un manteau imperméable généralement descendant jusqu'aux mollets, utilisé par plusieurs armées pendant la Première Guerre mondiale et la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Bien qu'à l'origine ce soit un vêtement masculin, il est aussi porté par les femmes.
My computer gave up on translating that but I know some of our expert PB readers will come to the rescue rapidement s.v.p.! By the way the belt is usually tied here never belted...
One girl carrys her trench casually over her arm, while the biker wears hers-I have seen this often...
Be sure, after you rush out to buy your trench to release the vent stitch in the back! Sadly this girl did not. Dommage :(
This French girl's trench has no vent at all. Shocking!
Toute en blanche and quilted no less... 
I have to wonder if May is Trench Coat Month? Do all of these femmes have le trench in their placard/closet that they save just for May..? Or is it the tendance/the trend of the moment?
Should there be a law against crossing the street while talking on your portable, as this plaid-trench-coated femme is about to do? There are no lights at Opera - you just boldly march out into traffic and cars stop when they see your stunning trench coat. C'est vrais!
Trench coat + big bag + les slims (narrow jeans) + Converse-like shoes.

I think the latter since you see it in many shop vitrines/ windows, not just the streets...
