The Sports Luxe Look

Hi all,

 We're bringing a slightly more sporty element to this newsletter, but don't worry, we won't have you out exerting yourself too much (only in the shopping department). This is purely what they call 'sports luxe'. Introducing an element of shape or fabric that heralds from sportswear in it's origin.

 American Vintage are first up with their 'Lincoln Liberty' shorts. A style that is almost always associated with a more active lifestyle, these are actually quite the opposite. Silk in fabric and oh so pretty in print, these chic little shorts will take you from off duty day to sophisticated nighttime with ultimate ease. We've teamed them with clean Filippa K grey linen tee and soft modal scarf.

 Next up is this fun star stitched 'Niddia' sweatshirt from By Malene Birger. A play on the old baseball sweat shape, this once again has been re-worked in to something altogether more stylish. We love the side zip detail revealing a secret silk insert too and would 'play down' a clean leather pencil skirt for a sleeker, and more modern look.

Track pants have been re-modelled in to a soft print summer trouser. Keeping the the simple tapered shape is key to making this style work for you. The waistband has stayed elasticated (thank goodness), so keeps the ultimate comfort element in. They also look great styled with heels or flats making them a versatile modern trouser option. Both Filippa K and Day Birger et Mikkelsen have come up with their take on this trend.

 

This Week's Star Buy

 Feeling all inspired buy the Coachella music festival taking part across the pond, we love this Day Birger et Mikkelsen 'Monsoon' jacket that's just arrived in store this week. Super cool and practical it has the perfect balance of utility, and bohemian in equal measures and the best feature of all.., zip off sleeves! Cleverly turning itself in to a cute little gilet for when the weather warms up, we're sure this the perfect summer purchase.

 

Have a happy Easter xx
