What’s in store for 2012….

With the weather up to all sorts, it’s been difficult to know what to wear over the past few weeks. With our Autumn/Winter 2011 sale offering a warm option for colder days, an introduction of Spring/Summer styles indicate John Smedley’s Sea Island Cotton will soon be the knitwear of choice. With this, I thought it was about time to talk about what looks are going to be a hit for Spring/Summer 2012.

Guys will be shying away from plunging necklines with round necks making a BIG come back. Our extra-fine New Zealand Merino wool sweater ‘Lyndhurst’ is the perfect answer to this trend, soon to be available in a wide range of colours. To take on this trend and make it an even bigger hit wear in Spring Summer 12’s hottest colours, pastel blues, creams and pinks.

For women, a trend of contouring in knitwear with strategically placed stripes and motifs help to accentuate and flatter the figure. Our striped sweaters which are soon to launch see varied stripe detail which create visual interest and compliment the figure beautifully.

Lace is also big for 2012 not only in knitwear but footwear and accessories. A range of styles in the new collection offer a feminine alternative to knitwear with lace placement adding beautiful detail to classic styles that have been bought bang up to date.

Style Diane in Dark Ash coming soon.

Be sure to keep an eye out on the website for the rest of the Spring/Summer 2012 to go live!

Lace me up

Think feminine, delicate and true elegance. Soft nude tones sit alongside muted blues providing the perfect backdrop for any summer outfit. In contrast to other Spring/Summer ‘11 trends where blocks of colour dominate outfits, the neutral colour palette makes this look highly wearable carrying you through future seasons. In keeping with the 70’s romantic vibe this season, combinations of different fabrics, think lace and crochet create the most elegant look.

All over lace detail is in-sync with the nightwear trend that has been seen on the catwalks. Our range of crepe cotton is light and lacy to keep you cool in the heat – perfect for sitting out in the sunshine with an ice-cold drink.
