April Showers Bring Burberry Flowers

"April Showers," a phrase suggesting the end of winter and the start of spring, came from the Brits! Who knew? It's believed in the UK that before spring can start, there must be heavy rainfall in April. And we all know that when it comes to rain gear, slickers just don't cut it. The only thing you can wear in a downpour and still look fab in is a trench -- a Burberry trench to be exact.

With perfect timing, Burberry recently announced their capsule collection entitled Burberry April Showers. Part of the Burberry Brit Collection, Burberry April Showers includes men's and women's ready to wear pieces and accessories. The men's wear collection includes trench coats, jackets, and polos all available in various colors. The Burberry April Showers collection will be available in select Burberry stores but to avoid the rush, long lines, and hearing "sorry we're sold out of your size," get your pieces on Burberry.com beginning Friday April 22.
