At a distance, you wouldn’t think New York’s concrete jungle has much in common with the lush green landscapes of the UK. While this is technically true, these days, we do share one thing: unpredictable weather. One minute it’s sunny clear skies, and the next it’s decorated with gloomy gray clouds, dooming our usual outerwear to failure. But you know what they say, you never need to get ready if you stay ready, which is why we’re turning to the UK aesthetic to get through fall and winter in style. After all, if we’re bundled in moleskin trenches and multi-layered jackets with shearling-trimmed lapels, those slushy streets and that icy chill don’t seem so bad. A well-crafted outfit that redefines outdoorsy luxury can make a paved paradise look like the Cliffs of Moher.
If you’re not prepared to sacrifice your daily strolls through Central Park (or even the puddled streets), you can choose something that’s equally protective and sophisticated, like a high-necked leather trench. The Burberry Winter 2024 collection is defined by texture and detailing, and in this case, metal studs that bring an unexpected edge to the classic coat.
With this collection, Burberry draws inspiration from its heritage of outdoor exploration. We may not have lochs, but we do have ponds and meers that feel just as bewitchingly mystical as the lush oases of the Highlands. Optimize your look with a pleated, floor-sweeping kilt that not only reflects its deep green and bramble brown surroundings but also allows comfortable movement. Punctuated by slate-shaded knee-high moto boots that can withstand even the dampest days, this look evokes a sense of warmth that’ll make you forget the wariness of a well-spent day outside.
More often than not, New Yorkers are taking shortcuts down gravel paths, scaling rocks that have been smoothed over time by their predecessors. We’re naturalists and adventure seekers by nature, so it’s only fitting that we blend in with our earthy surroundings by way of a sandy-colored, durable look that extends from the neck down to your weatherproof wellies.
The cooler winds may deter others, but wrapped in a high-collared moleskin trench coat, bookended by sleeves sheathed in faux fur, you can safely people-watch all day. New York is built for admiration — it’s why there are so many places to stop and sit. When it’s time to move, you can swerve across all kinds of terrain — including gaggles of tourists threatening to make you late — in enduring, coordinated trousers. With every step, you’ll gift passersby with a flash of Burberry Check lining. Flushed cheeks and a Rocking Horse Bag tightly slung over the shoulder are welcome added accessories.
The Winter 2024 collection is grounded by coats, but we can’t discount the days (or occasions) that negate the need for one. Instead, a cowl-neck sweater can serve as a statement piece; a happy medium of I’m a little-warm-but-also-a-little-cold. Don’t let anyone tell you a sweater can’t serve as the foundation for a look that can take you from early morning to a very late night.
A loose, draping slip layered over top amplifies the eclectic anomaly of the dress and boots combination (a midseason fusion that can take you anywhere). Swap your more earthy-flavored shoewear with a brighter alternative, which is especially complementary when paired with similar shades of cream. As much as we love a bag that carries it all, a small, adjustable wallet that holds the necessities can serve you well. A warmer shade of hazel makes this Rocking Horse Chain Strap Wallet stand out from its buttery counterparts. Consider this a reintroduction of winter whites.
