Real vs. Steal – Burberry Prorsum Shearling Funnel Neck Aviator Jacket

by Vahni on November 14, 2011

UPDATE: This post has been updated on November 14, 2011. Scroll down to see the new add.

Is there anyone out there who wasn’t crazy about some aspect of the Burberry Prorsum fall/winter 2010 collection? From the draped, ruched mini dresses, to the over-the-knee boots, to the completely delicious cropped shearling jackets—it was a sensation at the minimum, iconic at the max. And you can see why. The Shearling Funnel Neck Aviator Jacket looks like a cloud in the form of a clothing. If I could justify $3.5k for it, I so would.

UPDATE (11/14/2011): And here’s another great Burberry alternative coming from MICHAEL Michael Kors. Not a steal but possibly worth the investment if you fancy the look of the Burberry jacket.

UPDATE (11/10/2010): Excuse me? Please meet the love of your life! OMG, ASOS has done it! The perfect Burberry Prorsum aviator jacket knockoff. Isn’t it beautiful? I just wish it would be a little cheaper, but even at $600 this buy might be worth the investment. Either way, if you want this jacket, get it NOW. It will fly off the shelves.

Lipsy Faux Sheepskin Aviator Jacket

If you, like me, are really hanging to recreate the Burberry fall 2010 aesthetic at a lower price point, you know it can be achieved pretty easily until you get to the outerwear. Well now, even that is no obstacle. Behold the Lipsy Faux Sheepskin Aviator Jacket, ladies. This brown faux shearling is cut beautifully, and is the perfect topper for a skinny ruched mini, or even jeans and a tank. And at a mere £85, you’ll be looking like Burberry Barbie in no time.

anyone know where you can find shoes like their aviator boots?

Haven’t seen anything yet, but I’m sure they will come. Just have a little more patience, Kate.

haha I know, I’m soooo eager for them, as soon as some pop up I’m going to pounce on them ;)

I love the jacket – especially the Lipsy. So fantastic and love the fact that it is faux shearling!

Just purchased the black version of a practically exact replica of the Burberry aviator for 299$. Unfortunately, they didn’t have the brown in my size but the colour was fantastic.

Is there anyone out there who could actually afford Burberry Prorsum ?
(and not being a celebrity, who gets it for free anyway)
