Christopher Bailey Does Burberry to Perfection

Buberry just finished showing at London Fashion Week, and I want it all! Christopher Bailey is a genius when it comes to tailoring coats and adding the right details.

Tall, thigh high boots were on almost all of the models. So, after the summer is over, keep those legs in shape because these boots are hot! Ankle boots were also featured. The coolest part? Shearling on the inside! Trade these shearling lined boots for your beat up Uggs. The handbags also stood out with stud detailing.

Now, for the main attraction, what Burberry is know for: The coats! The collection definitely had a military chic appeal. The collars were emphasized and leather straps with buckles, zippers and military buttons gave the coats just the right amount of detail while still remaining classic. Shearling was all over the place and a few rich brown fur coats were shown.

The coat colors were mostly military green, browns and navy. However, there was a bright blue double breasted coat that really popped.

Ruched dresses, shredded chiffon dresses, and slim skirts in navy, mustard yellow and a berry/plum stood out for the deep colors. The dresses and skirts did have a longer hem, keeping with what we saw in New York.

You cannot go wrong with any piece from this collection. Bravo, Bailey.
