A new Burberry Pre-Fall 2024 collection rooted in British archetypes and attitude with relaxed outdoorsy elegance, a heritage icons, and a new expression of Burberry Check.

Daniel Lee compares his work at Burberry to stocking a department store—it has to contain something to appeal to everyone. The overall sentiment that he wanted to give was a kind of grown-up feel that retains an idea of the outdoors and the ideas of comfort and warmth.

The designer melded country and city aesthetics for a collection that nodded to Burberry’s history dressing military men and explorers and turning out warm, weatherproof trenches for city dwellers braving the rain.

Even the eveningwear was cozy. A long halterneck dress with fat rosettes at the neck and hip was done in charcoal wool, while a faded camou print gown with a long, ’70s-flecked scarf collar came with its very own sleeveless shearling coat.

Sturdy boots came with buckle- and biker-style details. Some were lined in shearling while other, taller leather ones were wrinkled and roomy and made for ease of movement. Edgier looks included stiletto mules that sprouted fur, and a new loafer style with high heels and a curved sole.
