Who says plaid can’t be “in” for summer?
Just in time for warmer weather, Burberry teamed up with Hunza G, the brand behind celebrities’ favorite flattering, ultra-stretchy swimsuits.
The limited-edition line combines the brand’s signature crinkled textiles with Burberry’s iconic checked pattern — and all of the pieces retail for under $500 each.
“I’ve been talking about it casually to my team for about five years,” brand founder Georgiana Huddart told Vogue of the “dream” collaboration.
“We’ve kind of being organically tag-teaming around the same girls,” she added, noting that Burberry devotee Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was also one of the first celebrities to wear her designs.
That list also includes model Alva Claire, who fronts the collaboration’s coastal campaign alongside “The Devil Wears Prada 2” star Simone Ashley.
The collaborative line offers takes on three of Hunza G’s bestsellers — the Tyler Bikini and the Domino and Faye One Piece Swimsuits — plus a matching scrunchie with the same instantly recognizable checked trim, which comes free with every suit.
Like the rest of Hunza G’s swim styles, the suits stretch up and down to fit a range of sizes from 2 to 14.
Huddart’s favorite piece from the line just might be the multipurpose Devyn Swim Skirt, which she told Vogue can be “worn as a boob tube or a miniskirt.”
“I like the versatility,” she added. “It offers a bit more coverage if you want to wear it as a skirt, but it actually looks great with jeans — I can see a lot of people doing that.”
Compared to the price tags on the rest of Burberry’s wares, the $375 design is practically a steal. But if you’re planning to dive into summer with this designer collab, just be sure to shop fast — these styles likely won’t stick around for long.
