The Burberry Rainbow Cashmere Scarf Outfit
Happy Tuesday! Is it snowing where you are? I’ve been waiting for the snow to come for days now! Anyway, I thought I would share this look with you that we shot a couple of months ago and I never got the chance to publish it yet. You might remember this Rainbow Burberry Cashmere Scarf as I had it on my wish list for months back in the Summer, and I finally picked it up in Autumn in the sale!
It’s everything I was hoping for and more! It combines the camel house check with a beautiful rainbow stripe, which commemorates Christopher Bailey’s last collection for Burberry, and represents the LGBTQ community, which I am always in support of. Funnily enough, when the rainbow cape first hit the runway last year, I fell in love with it (it looks like this), but given the fact that it was over £1000 and I didn’t have much use for a cape, I never purchased it.
I was hoping so much that they would release a scarf just like it, but I was beginning to doubt it because the only rainbow scarves that were appearing were not what I was looking for, until that magical day when this arrived! I knew I had to have it and it was exactly what I was looking for, plus the fact that it’s reversible so you can wear red plaid on the other side, it basically makes three scarves in one! I was just waiting for that all important discount before making the purchase, and I’m glad I did!
So this is the first outfit that I wore my Burberry Rainbow Cashmere Scarf with and it’s a mixture of older pieces, but brought to life. I wore my PAIGE Margot Skinny Jeans in Black, although I’m not liking the fit so much of these anymore as they’re quite loose around the calves. I also wore my brown roll neck top from ASOS, an old River Island cardigan that I have had for years, my Sam Edelman boots, and then finished it off with my Gucci Marmont GG Velvet Bag!
My idea for this outfit was to keep things warm and neutral with the black, brown and beige elements, to harmonise with the camel tones of the scarf, but then to let the rainbow stripes be the full focus of the entire look so the scarf would stand out. I think I achieved that as every time I look at these photos my eyes are instantly drawn to the colours, and then I see everything else after, and start noticing the details, fabrics and the GG logo from my bag etc., so I’m happy with it.
Also, on another note, when we were taking these photos, it was nice and dry, quite bright, and good lighting, then within 5 minutes, it got really dark, the heavens opened, and it poured down! In typical British fashion, we hid under the stone frame in the white doorway which you can see in the photos where I’m stood, until it had stopped, then continued the photoshoot about 10 minutes after. So even though I have tried to get the lighting to match in all of these photos, some are different, my hair’s a bit humid and puffy, and the ground is wet in a couple (the last pic, and the two torso shots) ha ha, so I thought I would include that as a funny tale since this happens all the time in England. Don’t worry, I did have an umbrella, but Adam didn’t, which is why we took shelter. Anyway, let me know what you think of the outfit and my scarf! Lorna xx.

That scarf is gorgeous and it stands out beautifully with this outfit! I love how the rainbow isn’t too overpowering, which makes it the perfect accessory for adding some color to an outfit.

Yes sadly it is snowing here. Praying, wishing and hoping it stops by tomorrow! It always makes our roads such a disaster, then I feel confined to home! No fun. But I get it’s fun sometimes…in small doses. I love, love that scarf. I love that it’s not the traditional plaid but different with a little twist!

I am so in love with your Burberry scarf! I’m not sure if it is appropriate to say that I am jealous of the snow because when I said the same about the rain, I had a hard time driving, hehe. BUT YOUR SCARF THOUGH!!! I like the cause that it represents. It can go with so many different outfits. Oh man, you really never know when the rain can HIT! At least your pictures turned out nice!

Thank you so much! I know, it’s definitely representing a great cause, I love that. And I hear you about the rain, ha ha, it’s a nightmare!
This Burberry rainbow scarf is gorgeous. Nothing is better than a cozy scarf in winter. Plus, scarves are such a great accessory. This rainbow one is so cute. I can see why it was on your list for so long and it’s great you got it. I also love how you’ve styled it in this outfit. Simply perfect! You always look lovely dear. I hope you’re doing well.

Gorgeous scarf! That flash of colour is really eye-catching without, in any way, detracting from anything else in the outfit. I’d never have guessed the cardigan to be something that you’ve had a long time. It looks very now. 😀
Author
Thank you, Steven! Yeah it’s so old! I guess it’s somewhat of a classic! 😀
