Burberry Prorsum rtw A/W 2010

As predicted, the shearling aviator jacket is this season’s key piece as seen on celebs such as, the uber-fashionable Nicola Roberts from Girls Aloud. We’re not talking Top Gun-esque styling, in fact, this season’s jacket is a completely modern take on style made famous by Mr Cruise in the 80’s classic. First noticed as the key trend in the Burberry a/w collection combined with knee skimming skirts and thigh high leather boots, the jacket is a must have for any fashionista’s winter wardrobe.

Burberry is renowned for trendsetting when it comes to jackets and outerwear but that infamous checked pattern has been left behind in favour of sheepskin and leather luxury. Apart from a veritable style statement of winter 2010, the jacket is practical for the cold weather too. Who says you have to compromise warmth for style this season? If your pay just won’t stretch far enough to afford the Burberry original, the high-street have come to the rescue with alternatives that are more than adequate. Topshop, River Island, Aldo and Urban Outfitters offer their own affordable versions to fly you safely through the winter months.
