THREE PRINTS THAT NEVER DATE

We’re all about safe bets and what we mean when we say that, is buying something that we know won’t date. Great for the pocket and even better for the environment. With this in mind, we bring you three prints that will guarnatee years of wear. In fact, we hope that you wear them out before they date!

1. The Stripe

Who doesn’t love a good Breton stripe? Actually to be a true Breton, it should have 21 stripes, each representing a Napoleon victory because sailors were wearing stripes way back in 1858 (apparently the distinctive print made it easier to spot wayward sailors who had fallen over-board). Breton tops come into their own in spring, when we see fresh shades of colour in the shops. Boden are particularly partial to a stripe. 

PEAS IN A POD

Fish and chips, knife and fork, cheese and wine, Ant and Dec. Things that fit together and were meant to be together! We have a perfect partner too; colour me beautiful and Kettlewell. Why? Because the people at Kettlewell ‘get’ colour and are as passionate about it as we are.

PRINT-TASTIC

Print is everywhere this season. Big and bold, bright and cheerful, ditsy and muted, there’s something for everyone. But where to start? Let us guide you through the pattern minefield with our handy tips below.

Yes our love for animal print never seems to tire does it? This season it’s all about snake print. Its fuzzy pattern and often muted colours makes this a great option for Softs. Choose a base colour that complements your skin tone, it doesn’t have to be the usual grey/green/brown offering.
