Son Heung-min and Bright’s Burberry looks in LA: different rhythms in coats, quilting and checks

How do Son Heung-min and Bright wear Burberry differently in the same Los Angeles setting? The brand campaign Same City, Different Rhythms connects outerwear and accessories through everyday scenes featuring the two ambassadors, as part of Burberry’s 170th-anniversary activities. These are promotional images: the walks, car journeys and encounter belong to the campaign’s narrative. Their styling interest lies in how quilted jackets, car coats, longer coats and short peacoats give different visual weights to a shared wardrobe language.

Son Heung-min: from a quilted jacket to a longer grey coat

Son’s navy quilted nylon jacket contrasts with a white knit underneath, while its diamond stitching becomes clearer up close. The belt and dark trousers visible in the photograph give the relaxed upper half a point of definition. One observation to take from this combination is that an outer layer with regular stitched texture does not require another densely patterned layer underneath. White, navy and a dark lower half can let differences in surface become the focus.

Another look replaces the jacket with a mid-length Hastings Trench Coat, paired with straight jeans featuring check flocking. The visual emphasis shifts from quilting to the longer outline, double-breasted front and lapels. Showing the outfit in a scene with a dog places the longer coat in daily life beyond formal occasions. The useful lesson is the change in proportions: with similarly dark trousers, replacing the outer layer gives the silhouette a more vertical, defined line.

Bright: checks at the collar and contrasting textures

Bright’s car coat places House Check on the turned-out collar, leaving the broad brown surface relatively quiet. A limited patch of pattern makes the coat’s outline easier to read, while the soft-looking layer beneath contrasts with its flatter surface. The seated car portrait brings the collar, cuffs and front opening into close view, suggesting a way of recognising the brand through details.

A navy wool peacoat and the corduroy Dalewood Overshirt provide another thread. The shorter coat’s concentrated outline and the brown corduroy’s vertical texture create shape and surface layers respectively. The campaign presents these pieces in different looks, allowing viewers to compare their visual weight without treating each complete outfit as a uniform to copy. Choosing between shorter and longer outerwear often creates a more immediate change than adding another conspicuous accessory.

Scarves provide a shared vocabulary

Both ambassadors wear reversible checked cashmere scarves. In Son’s close-up, grey contrasts with a blue knit; Bright’s brown scarf sits nearer the colour family of his corduroy layer. Their shared check does not make them dress identically. The outerwear’s colour, surface and the way a scarf is wrapped change how much pattern appears. Here, a winter accessory links textures as well as expressing warmth.

The film begins in an LA morning and brings two daily routes briefly together, with coats, scarves and settings making the title’s rhythms visible. For an everyday wardrobe, start by comparing the length you need, then consider how much pattern should show at the collar and whether the layers already offer enough texture. These images offer a way of looking at clothes. Actual purchases still depend on each product’s materials, measurements and local availability; campaign photography cannot establish identical rain protection or insulation specifications across all the coats.
