The Burberry Prorsum FW 2012 menswear line by Christopher Bailey, presented at Milan Fashion Week, combines the best of the city and country, complementing sleek well-tailored suits with cropped hunting jackets and riding coats. The line is quite different from last season's tribal collection, especially in terms of color. Polka dot shirts under sleek suits are accessorized with duck-headed umbrellas and caps, and of course the staple Burberry trench coat.
Heavy wool coats are given a pop of color with college stripes at the bottom, while thick sweaters worn over shirt and polka dot tie are paired with studded leather gloves. The Burberry Prorsum FW 2012 menswear line also includes several fabulous velvet tailored suits, a play on the classic suited look which made the collection seem perfectly suited for the season.
