Here comes the sun: Take on summer in Burberry’s playful SS24 collection
From classic cotton T-shirts to fashion-forward shoes, Burberry presents the ultimate cool girl summer wardrobe
Sponsored by:
Consider the stereotypical stylish Londoner: dressed in a crisp Oxford shirt, classic Chelsea boots and a trusted Burberry trench coat. British fashion has been synonymous with Burberry for decades and, with Daniel Lee now steering the house into a new era of subverted classic design codes, it’s no surprise that the heritage brand continues to remain a firm favourite of the style set. Leaning into its British roots, the new Burberry summer collection is an array of pared back timeless staples primed for everything from the London social season to the beach clubs of Mykonos and beyond.
SS24’s chic, easy separates include streamlined cape-sleeved jackets, versatile white cotton T-shirts, breezy shorts and large totes perfect for city breaks and beach days. Of course, no Burberry collection would be complete without the signature check and, under Lee’s guise, it graces bucket hats and sunglasses while the iconic Burberry Prorsum knight is enlarged and cropped in a modern reimagining of this historic house emblem.
To make easy work of dressing during heatwaves and summer storms alike, we’ve scoured Burberry’s summer offering to create an edit of the pieces promising to keep you stylish this season and beyond.
Check triangle bikini
Whether you’re headed to sunnier shores or just the Soho House pool, you’ll need a new bikini to make a splash in. Burberry’s check-printed triangle bikini comes with matching side-tie briefs, but will look just as good with denim cut-offs.
Check cape
Headed to a festival this summer? Layers are key to a successful capsule wardrobe and, in its Italian woven-twill check cape, Burberry has created the ultimate ‘throw over anything’ piece., It even features a hood to ward off inevitable summertime drizzle.
Check shorts
Borrowed-from-the-boys shorts are all the rage this season. Pair this statement checked pair with a basic white T-shirt, box-fresh trainers and lashings of gold jewellery.
Small check shoulder bag
Boasting a clean silhouette, lightweight cotton twill construction and a comfortable wide strap, you’ll find yourself reaching for this shoulder bag every morning. Its classic check print is striking enough to turn heads while still being elegant enough for the office, bar or a trip to Bond Street. Roomy and chic? We call that a win-win.
Cotton T-shirt
Every brand claims to have created the perfect T-shirt but Burberry’s humble white crew neck really walks the walk. Cut from lightweight cotton jersey in a regular fit, Burberry’s take on the classic features a rib-knit neckline and an embroidered equestrian knight logo.
EKD leather baby mules
Comfortable, versatile and seductive, kitten heels are It-girl approved this summer. This minimalist pair is made in Italy from quilted nappa leather with a clog-style closed toe. Prepare to strut your stuff in style at this season’s summer parties.
Check cotton-blend bucket hat
Balancing practicality with style, bucket hats are back with a bang for SS24. Whether you’re sightseeing, hitting the sunbed or joining the crowds at Glastonbury, this checked Burberry design promises 360-degree sun protection with a hefty dose of Brit Pop nostalgia to boot.
EKD cotton T-shirt
A basic T-shirt is the ultimate wardrobe essential that’ll pair well with everything from jeans to skirts and casual suits so, obviously, you can never have enough. Switch out your plain tees for this beige alternative screen-printed with the Burberry knight insignia for an easy statement-making piece.
Mini rocking horse bag
Is there anything better than running around the city unencumbered by a bulky bag? Equipped with adjustable straps to switch easily between shoulder and crossbody styles, this streamlined saddle-inspired bag in grained red calf leather is perfectly sized for everyday errands.
Leather sadler ballerinas
Ballet flats continue to be one of summer 2024’s biggest trends – so isn’t it time you invested in a pair? Burberry renders its ballerinas in scarlet quilted leather – perfect for adding a pop of colour to neutral and monochrome outfits.
Check square sunglasses
A pair of sunglasses makes for the perfect finishing touch to any summer outfit, and while not all frames work for everyone, aviators and square-framed styles suit most face shapes. Crafted from transparent Burberry check printed acetate with scratch-resistant lenses, this pair features gold-tone Burberry lettering at the sculpted temples.
Check cotton scarf
Whether you drape it as a sarong on the beach or knot it neatly around your head à la Grace Kelly, you’re guaranteed to turn heads in Burberry’s pale yellow checked scarf.
Large EKD crochet bag
Toeing the line between practical and trendy, Burberry’s crochet tote bag is a must-have if you’re loving this season’s craft-inspired designs. Unlined, roomy and instantly recognisable thanks to the equestrian knight design splashed across the front, pack it with a novel, shades and SPF for a beach day.
Check sleeve cotton T-shirt
As we said, there’s no casual dressing dilemma a well-made T-shirt can’t fix. Burberry refreshes its basic white offering with signature check sleeves; make a statement by pairing it with a matching pleated checked skirt.
