I come bringing good news. I come with pictures from the Burberry AW 2012 Menswear collection and plenty of words of praise. It's a men's show, I know, but you know how I feel about menswear. I drool.
Allow me to start with the aspects that aren't on my good books. Number one, those cowl-neck / funnel-neck jumpers are just not my thing. I have a passionate displeasure for that neckline, whether it's a man or a woman who sports it. Moving on to the stripe details at the lower edge of those (AMAZING) tan coats. It just doesn't work for me. Oh, and bomber jackets? No. I don't care how cold it is, I really don't make myself justify wearing a bomber jacket, especially if it's quilted.

| No, just no! |
The two (handsome) gents in the picture below are wearing two of the most exquisite tailored outfits I've seen in a while (I've moved on to the things I liked btw!) I have a thing for the black and grey combination in general, and if it's tailored, well, I could do mad things in reaction. Please note those studded gloves. Get a pair.

| Future husband, wear these outfits. Thanks. |
Polka dots were featured extensively, especially during the initial part of the show. Herringbone suits and hats and geometric patterns were equally as popular. I love adore them all.

| Classy. |
A few lines above, I just declared war to bomber jackets. But *drum roll*, I actually liked the ones made from wool and tweed! Truly surprising, I know. Could it be that they remind me of the Chanel tweed numbers? Not so sure, but something made me like them. I couldn't omit the classic Burberry trench coat a mention. It works. Every. Single. Time.

| Velvet Obsession, Hello! |
And here comes the most exciting part of the show. Ladies and gentlemen, please raise the roof for velvet! I am not a velvet fan in general - unflattering unless skinny! - but oh my goodness how can I even criticise these velvet suits by Burberry? They are so well made, so tailored, so mahoosively perfect. And oh, just when you thought you saw it all, they do velvet blocking. I am impressed.

I cannot leave you without mentioning those statement umbrellas. How cool are those duck umbrellas? I want one.
Remember my post about my ideal man? Well, add 'must wear Burberry' to the list of requirements.

I like your post. We have the same likes and hates about that Burberry collection. And by the way, I want that duck umbrella too, because it's cute.
