THE MENSWEAR GUIDE - Elite Traveler

ColleCtion HigHligHt
Leave it to Burberry to embue gentlemanly
elements like pinstripes and
velvet with a jaunty, edgy allure. Looking
to hardscrabble post-war England
for inspiration, Bailey stuck to the
basics—well constructed coats, white
cotton shirts (with tie or Peter Pan collars
that escaped twee associations),
and jackets with narrow lapels in a
panoply of greys. Just when it seemed
the collection could slip into territory a
touch too dour, the expanse of a crimson
lapel, checks washed in color or
dashes of Fair Isle prints would leaven
the mood (Top left: Charcoal two-button
jacket, $1,695; storm grey shirt,
$395; tapered trousers, $750. Bottom
left: Black military peacoat, $2,395;
smock shirt, $395; tapered trousers,
$750. Center: doeskin paneled cap,
$350).

There’s no label that’s more British than Burberry, and Christopher Bailey played to the brand’s U.K. roots with plenty of telltale
plaid, tweed and Fair Isle knits that will be hits from Shoreditch to Shetland.
