Burberry, renowned for its timeless elegance and rich heritage, unveiled a contemporary twist at London Fashion Week this September. Moving away from avant-garde designs, the brand embraced more wearable styles on the runway. This strategic shift, led by CEO and Director Jonathan Shulman, known for his success in expanding luxury brands globally, reflects Burberry's newfound focus on classic staples at more accessible price points. Burberry’s new approach aligns with the global urge of moving away from fast fashion and ditching trends, making stylish clothing more accessible to everyone.

At DE, we’re embracing this evolution toward a more sustainable future in fashion. Shop our handpicked preloved Burberry staples at Designer Exchange, where we focus on beating trends and embracing timeless style. Together let's help Burberry be wearable.

Burberry Goes Street

Thought Burberry was just for the runway? Not anymore—embrace Burberry street style. This lesser-known Burberry deer print bag, paired with a luxurious Autumn-coloured trench, and a belt that subtly nods to Burberry's heritage, exudes trendiness without following the crowd!

Embrace Untraditional Colourways

Go monotone with this Burberry ensemble. Achieve subtle sophistication by opting for low-key pieces like this denim skirt and less traditional colours, such as this Burberry check coat —allowing you to showcase the luxury brand without being overly bold.

Downplay to Elevate

The perfect autumn outfit combines trustworthy neutral staples with a touch of Burberry’s iconic colourway for a look that’s effortlessly chic. Layer up with this reversible coat and elegant pleated skirt. Luxury brands don’t always need to be dressed up to look high-end—add a touch of grunge with these Valentino combat boots. This is your ultimate guide to making designer fashion accessible for everyone.

Trenches Always Trending

Trenches will always be trending—Especially a Burberry one. It’s the perfect coat all seasons round. Elevate your street style by pairing it with chunky hiking boots and oversized sunglasses. Combine it with classic denim and layer up with this unconventional Burberry knit for a look that’s effortlessly cool.

Laid-Back Luxury

Keep luxury on the quiet side by choosing comfortable staples from your favourite brand, Burberry. The Burberry Shield Bag is a bold addition to an understated outfit, but sometimes it's best to stick with what you love. That’s when you know it will remain a timeless piece in your wardrobe, always ready to be worn.

Timeless Trends

Now, we know canvas field jackets and suede are trending this year. But what if you put a twist on the trend? You get timeless style. Swap out the typical field jacket found in every retailer this season for this similarly styled preloved Burberry coat, again, in that luxury plum colour for autumn. A suede skirt is a great way to embrace the trend, proving that suede for autumn isn’t just about jackets and bags.
