The Burberry Spring/Summer 2014 collection is full of the brand's signature trench coats and accessories to match. The trench coat is synonymous to the brand and British culture, so it is only fitting that the brand created something in homage to it.
The 'Burberry Trench Eyewear Collection,' which includes optical frames for both men and women, features characteristics of the iconic jacket. Each pair of sunglasses features details like the Burberry nova check pattern and have the signature color palette of honey-beiges, earthy browns and blacks. The nova check featured on the arms of the glasses resemble the coat's lining and the leather-wrapped temple tips with red stitching looks like the coat's buckles.
These glasses are stunning and would go perfectly with any trench -- even if it isn't Burberry.
