Cynthia Check-Panels Stretch-Woven Top

Whizzing through Westminster on a red bus, indulging in afternoon tea at Buckingham Palace and dodging December downpours across Tower Bridge all call to mind one quintessentially British label: Burberry. But when it’s time to swap shopping on Oxford Street for sprinting across the finish line, the brand spins the Cynthia top. Shaped to a second-skin silhouette, this athletic style is patterned with the house’s heritage checks peeping from the high neck and descending the sleeves in stripes.

• 86% polyamide, 14% elastane
• Product Code: Ref: R04170582

The Burberry name is inseparable from the gabardine trench coat it designed in 1901, now a fashion staple. Today, its artful approach to heritage style means outerwear for women and men is just part of a collection that spans red carpet dresses to the iconic Burberry check scarf and luxury bags.
