As it happens with every new season, this winter we’re beginning to see a new guard of It items emerge. Inspired by the trends that came before them, but also offering something fresh that stylish people are quick to sniff out, the start of every new season is always an exciting time in fashion and, needless to say, for our wardrobes. More often than not, the cult buys that come through are very specific—think a particular bag style from a single brand or the latest trainer to come from one of the biggest names in the industry—making their trajectory easy to track. Others, however, take a little longer to pinpoint but, when you do, you realise how much of an impact they’re making. And this winter, it’s clear to see that Burberry’s checked skirts are setting the agenda.
A bonafide celebrity favourite, Burberry's check is the print that those in the know (and their stylists) are standing behind this winter. Serving up a modern take of the British institution's iconic check that has been in the brand's repertoire since the 1920s, this darker iteration resembles a tartan print, ensuring it feels just as timeless as it's predecessor. And while Burberry has modelled the motif in a myriad of ways for winter 2024, it's the brand's skirts that are proving to be a hot-ticket item.
In the space of about five minutes, my colleagues and I had found so many instances of fashion people and celebrities wearing Burberry's checked skirts over the past couple of weeks. Pairing them with with knee-high boots, leather loafers and heels, the it's proven to be versatile staple this season, not to mention a chic alternative to the trousers and jeans that dominate at this time of the year.
Whilst some celebrities have remained loyal to Burberry's classic beige print—as spotted on Miquita Oliver in September—the moodier offering has asserted itself as a key buy for 2024.
Traditional and timeless, but not over-done, this emerging skirt trend doesn't just have the potential to become the season's next "It" item—it already is.
