Wearing a Burberry Trench Coat to work as an analyst?

I work in the Los Angeles office of our bank. Ever since I was in college, I wanted a Burberry Trench coat and now that I have money saved up, I'd like to buy one. The thing is, I try to keep my outfit very muted and conservative by avoiding any logos or company specific branding (Hermes ties with "H", Gucci Horsebit Loafers, Goyard geometric designs, etc.)

The thing with a Burberry Trench is that most people who know what a Bureberry Trench looks like will be able to spot it a block away.

My managing director is pretty fashionable (though that's only because his wife is a fashion designer). Everyone in the office has either a LV/Goyard/Hermes wallet or purse. All of the female employees above VP, seem to wear expensive dresses. My managing partner though doesn't seem to care about clothes.

Do you guys think it'll be fine or should I just wait til I'm at the associate/VP level?

LA never gets cold enough to warrant a trench coat. It would look kinda out of place if you show up with one.
