| moderate colors |
Part 2 of my series about the winter collections for the coming cold season. This time, I would like to have a look on Burberry Prorsum. Christopher Bailey had to cover the span between the colorful trend also D&G had included in his winter collection and the traditional royal Burberry design. First off: this exercise was managed by him without a spot.

| the lumberjack style |
Orange, blue, green, yellow, red – the (trench)coats, traditional for the label and one of Bailey’s specialties, will be available in many colors. That seems kind of crazy, but in fact there are only a few pieces I wouldn’t wear even if I had got them as gifts. The difference to D&G: The colors are mostly not dazzling, but moderate, and every piece has only one color. So by wearing an accordant coat you show that you accepts the winter, the silent, colorless, dead time of the year – but at the same time, with the sober colors, you remember thinking of a better time coming soon with the spring.

| my casual favorite |
Apart from this, the big rest of the collection shows brown tones, black and white. A traditional label with traditional colors for the winter. Much fur is used, even and especially in the Dalmatian style – friends of animals should watch out. Furthermore coats in the lumberjack style are in the Burberry collection, thus Christopher Bailey apparently sees the trend living on the next season – we will see if he has a point.

| my favorite for business |
My two favorites are a yellow, well-padded casual jacket for my off time and a 3/4 coat in a textured brown with a bit of fur a the collar – actually I don’t like fur, but here it is very good integrated in my opinion. Congratulation, Bailey – you have achieved to combine the traditional Burberry style with the not Burberry-like colorful winter trend.
