For effortless Rosie chic add a breton top and scarf to skinny jeans or leathers.  Ankle boots and an it bag finish the look off perfectly.

The trench is a must-have item for any season and a good one is a worthy investment that will serve you time and time again.   Here are some of our top picks from Burberry to the high street.

With probably the best front row of London Fashion Week including Rachel Bilson, Kate Bosworth, Mario Testino and Alexa Chung – all, of course, wearing Burberry – the show kicked off with indoor snow and face of the brand Jourdan Dunn opening in a tangerine coat and dalmation fur hat.  Coats and jackets galore including short trenches in checked yellow and teal, fitted duffel coats and the signature trench with domed shoulders and patent leather-trimmed tweet re-established Burberry as the coat designer of choice for next season.

Other than coats it was skinny black flares, poodle furs, cropped drainpipe trousers and see-through capes that were the key pieces of the show which ran to a perfectly suited Dusty Springfield soundtrack.

It’s only right to mention Burberry Prorsum’s delectable footwear and accessories which include extreme platform wedges with notched heels and thick treads and accents of buckles or tassels.  The Haymarket bag made a welcome appearance in wide width, narrow height with leather tassels and some came with textile panels in the house check, while long-strapped cross-body bags were turned into clutches.

In a nutshell: It was a big day at fashion week as David Koma, Christopher Kane and Julien Macdonald took centre stage.  But there was one show on that had everyone rushing around London for, applauding and then tweeting their appreciation – Burberry Prorsum.

It was attended by the creme de la creme of the fashion world but watched live by thousands more on the big screen in Piccadilly circus, in stores or in the comfort of their own home online. The winter wonderland of shows  featured plenty of olive, orange, honey and teal with military fastenings and black and white fur.

Spotted: Everyone at Burberry including the usual suspects (Chung, Palermo), Rachel Bilson, Kate Bosworth, Daisy Lowe, Ellie Golding and a real mix of British talent, press and style icons.

The LFW dictionary: Burbs (noun); an affectionate term for Burberry, as if it were a friend.

Look out for the tailored trenchcoats in bold, primary colours – for her and for him. Couple those with polo shirts and dresses in vibrant shades which will take you through from spring and well into summer.

There’s an array of accessories – bags, wallets, purses, ipod covers, shades and umbrellas. All feature the classic Burberry check but  a brightly coloured trim gives them a modern edge.

Heading to a festival this summer? Grab yourself some Burberry April Showers wellies – the perfect British summer accessory.

Burberry April Showers Collection

“Burberry Prorsum was back to celebrate London Fashion Week’s 25 year anniversary. The front row was knee to knee celebrities, Gwyneth Paltrow, Victoria Beckham, Liv Tyler, Emma Watson, Mary-Kate Olsen and stellar editors Carine Roitfield from French Vogue, and Glenda Bailey from American Harpers Bazaar.

 The collection is designed by Christopher Bailey and what a collection. It was balletic, lovely soft colours, rose and lilac and beige and gold. I loved the classic Burberry trench transformed in sugar pink satin and crystals. Gorgeous! There was a military influence with webbed belts and sweaters criss-crossed with matching ‘ruck-sack’ straps.

The shoes were fab, strappy cone heeled sandals and high heeled combat boots. Really sexy.”
