For starters, this brand has been around, like, *forever*. 167 years! That’s, like, dinosaur times in fashion years. They’re famous for the Trench Coat – which, let’s be real, is a staple. I mean, who *doesn’t* look good in a trench coat? (Okay, maybe me. But still, *generally*, chic). And the Cashmere Check Scarf, yeah, it’s iconic, but it’s also just plain cozy.
And then there’s the whole “classic design” thing. They keep bringing back the good stuff, but they’re not just, like, re-hashing the same old thing. They’re tweaking it, making it feel fresh. Like, that “Burberry Classics for Men” thing? Jackets, t-shirts, scarves… all with that iconic check. It’s a good way to inject some classiness into even the most basic dude’s wardrobe. I’m thinking maybe I should suggest it to my brother, he could seriously use the help.
I remember when Tisci was in charge (whoever they appointed after, I haven’t been keeping up, oops!). He did a pretty good job of mixing the old and the new. That Autumn/Winter 2019 collection? The oversized stuff? It was kinda cool. It felt like Burberry was trying to, you know, actually be *relevant* to younger people. And let’s be real, that’s important. You don’t wanna just be a brand for rich old ladies. No offense to rich old ladies, of course! They buy lots of stuff.
Speaking of buying stuff, the “most classic Burberry items” are, like, the ones you should be eyeing. The trench coat, obviously. But also the handbags! They’ve got some really nice silhouettes, and sometimes I’m just drooling over them. I can’t afford them, unfortunately, but a girl can dream, right?
