Walk the Walk: Burberry Prorsum F/W 2013 Menswear Collection

Christopher Bailey has no plan to do any ground breaking thing for his Burberry Prorsum F/W menswear collection this coming season (no metallic, big spike studs, animals heads or woods). Instead, he is going back to the Burberry roots and give the classics a modern makeover.

This collection can be divided into 3 main categories: the Classics, the Safari, and the Hearts. When it comes to the Classics series, the Burberry signature tartan is once back on the runway (it's been awhile) and it is used to enhance the Burberry classic looks. The Safari series, in my opinion, is far more exciting because I am a big fan of the military green and also the animal print pieces are really amazing. The animal print sunglasses will for sure be major next season, so are the shoes and the trench coats. To end this runway show, Bailey then introduces the Hearts series as a sweet ending. I love the translucent trench coats as they look like candies to me and they match perfectly with the hearts print shirts and sweaters.

When it comes to Burberry Prorsum, Christopher can do no wrong. Just like what he says in the press release, I ♥ Classics!

Pros:
- As usual, the trench coats are amazing! There a few varieties for this season and my eyes are on the slim ones.
- Christopher Bailey applies the right amount of animal print on some pieces to make the collection stand out.
- I really like the translucent rubber trench coats as they look quite modern and different.
- The heart print series is wonderful as people will not expect such a feminine symbol can make a man look very masculine.
- I cannot stop looking at the shoes and I think those will be the hot items of this coming season.
- Without a doubt, people will be lining up for the satchel, especially the animal print one.

Cons:
- I am a little surprise there are no studded bags this season since the shoes look great with this element.

Eye Candies: 
- All the shoes
- Translucent rubber trench coats
- Animal print tote
- Animal print sunglasses
- Reversible stripe knitted donkey jacket
- Bonded felt patch pocket bomber
