Christopher Bailey loves an English garden, and his Burberry Prorsum collection for next season found inspiration in its colour palette.
A bouquet of pastels, such as pale rose to forget-me-not blues made for a softer and romantic collection. Whilst we didn't see the Burberry classic trench, lightweight spring outerwear was a key feature, and it came updated in boxier cuts and dropped shoulders.
The pencil skirt was a key style and came in lace, both sheer or striped, worn under a boxy jacket or with a simple sweater, a look we've come to associate with Carine Roitfeld.
Sales of accessories are highly profitable for Burberry, and the women's Prorsum collection include wide pastel-coloured belts, soft scarves and soft folded clutch bags.
