Lace me up

05th May 2011 | Design, Style | Leave a comment

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.

Here, we give you the first glimpse of our Spring/Summer ‘11 collection. Ladies, be prepared to see a rainbow palette of the brightest of hues, alongside sweet pops of pastel and neutral tones. Guys, this range can be a riot of colour, a sea of calm neutrality, or a combination of both.

Bright Blocking

11th February 2011 | Design, General, Style | Leave a comment

Bright neon’s are massive for Spring/Summer 11. We can’t wait for next season and can promise that the John Smedley colour palette and its array of colours will not disappoint.

Acid, Banana and Ultramarine are a few colours that will bring sunshine to your wardrobe. Worn against neutrals, these POP colours work brilliantly worn over your favourite shirt or underneath your trusty jacket.

A mixture of neutral and vivid colours compliment opposing seasons. Brights will liven any Winter outfit in contrast to soft, neutral tones that aim to balance. The simple structure to the garments allow the focus to be on the bright colours, making this look highly wearable.

Colour blocking is huge for Spring/Summer 11 and what better way to wear the trend than with John Smedley.

Striped

07th February 2011 | Design, General, Retail | Leave a comment

A trend that is massive for Spring/Summer 2011, the stripe. Wide, thin, horizontal, vertical, the stripe is sure to dominate every wardrobe for the forthcoming season. Autumn/Winter saw this season’s bestseller Iggy, a graded colour stipe that flew off the shelves. Applicable to both womenswear and menswear, Spring/Summer is stripetastic.

From red carpet stripes to casual chic, Spring/Summer will not dissapoint with John Smedley offering modest stiped cuffs to all striped sweaters in a beautiful array of colours. There’s a stripe on offer for all body shapes and silhouettes with the position of the stripe vital, seen to conture the body and flatter.

Colourful stripes create a fun, youthful look. Ladies, a playful way to incoperate this trend is mixing a thick stripe with dots for a true 70’s vibe whilst thinner stripes offer a simplistic, clean look. Why not incooperate a contrast in stripe, thin horizontal next to dominant stripes for massive visual impact.

This trend is sure to brighten up anyones wardrobe and there is longevity to this look. Stripes have already stood the test of the time, appearing season upon season so invest in your signature stripe.
