Burberry Exploded Check Jacquard Crewneck Sweater

Style No. BB-EXP-CHK-JCQ-CRW-SWT-BEI

A statement knitwear piece from Burberry that applies the house's signature check pattern at a dramatically enlarged, macro scale across the full sweater body. The Burberry check — a pattern comprising intersecting camel, black, white, and red stripes on a warm beige ground, introduced as the house's lining fabric in the 1920s and elevated to a primary surface pattern through the 1990s and 2000s — is jacquard-woven into the knit structure across both the front and back panels in an "exploded" format: the scale of the check grid is magnified well beyond its classic proportions, so the intersecting stripe bands become wide, graphic blocks that span the full width of the body rather than a tight repeating grid. The effect is architectural and maximalist — the house's most recognisable pattern rendered at a scale that transforms it from a surface texture into a structural graphic element, the horizontal and vertical bands of camel, black, white, and red dividing the body into bold geometric zones. A small Burberry woven label sits at the inside back collar. The sweater is finished with a ribbed crew neckline, ribbed cuffs, and a ribbed hem. Cut in a relaxed, oversized silhouette with dropped shoulders.

How to Style

Wear with slim camel or cream trousers and tan leather loafers for a tonal heritage look that complements the beige ground of the check, or pair with straight-leg dark navy or black jeans and white leather sneakers for a contrast pairing that grounds the maximalist check pattern against a clean dark base. The exploded check scale means this sweater functions as a statement outerwear-weight top — keep all other pieces in solid neutrals (camel, black, cream, navy) and avoid competing patterns or prints to let the macro Burberry check read as the singular graphic focus of the look.
