What To Buy This Spring

Posted on by

Military, spring, fashion, what to wear, what to buy

After what feels like the longest winter in history spring is finally here. This means two things: warmer weather and new clothes. It’s hard to know which one is more exciting. To get you in the mood we have put together a shopping guide to give you some inspiration. From the 1970s to mesh dresses, we give you the lowdown on the trends to keep in mind when you are shopping for your spring wardrobe.

Yellow

Yellow is in this season. In fact, yellow is the only colour to be seen in this season. If you think it won’t work for you then don’t worry. There is a shade of yellow that will suit every complexion. Choose between canary, amber, marigold or saffron. Just figure out your skin’s undertone and then find the hue that suits it.

The 1970s

The 1970s are back in a big way. Think hippy and 1970s Marrakech. Long, billowing dresses are right on trend, think luxury bohemian. Floral patterns are a given, especially on shirts. Brown coats and suede also featured heavily. Don’t be scared to clash and add a scarf.

Black And White

Monochrome was a huge trend on the catwalk. There were a lot of black and white suits, a node to one of the original glamorous girls, Bianca Jagger. Lanvin, Giambattista Valli and Céline all sent black and white suits down the catwalk.

Denim

Denim never goes out of fashion but this season jeans are baggy and cropped. Gucci meanwhile sent models down the catwalk in a little cowgirl dress which gave a nod to the trend without making you look like you just stepped off the ranch. Burberry on the other hand choose contrasting suede panels on their classic trench shape.

Shirtdresses

Shirtdresses may be a functional classic but this season they are also in. The classic shape was given many twists on the catwalk. Think drop waists and high slits. It is both tame and sexy. Shirtdresses go with everything, they can be either functional or glammed up for the evening. Either way, it’s a wardrobe classic.

Military

Nope, not time to join the army. Military is big this season, but don’t worry: it is completely wearable. Khaki may have hit the catwalk over 40 years ago but it is still a classic and is back in a big way. The olive drab hue is best and the catwalk went mad for military-style coats and dresses. Take inspiration from the suede khaki pieces at Chanel’s feminist protest. Ralph Lauren went for safari-style military glamour and Marc Jacobs went for a sexy silhouette.

Mesh.

Rita Ora caused a stir at the Vanity Fair Oscar party wearing a nearly-naked black mesh dress. Heidi Klum, Gigi Hadid and Irina Shayk also followed the trend at the Academy Awards after party. This one is only for the brave and you may want to tone it down for the daytime. You can give a nod to the trend without flashing anyone.

The Duchess of Cambridge Causes Sales Of Yellow Dresses To Soar

Posted on by

duchessofcambridgeeBay, one of the world’s largest marketplaces, has seen a 95%* rise in sales of yellow dresses. This has been triggered by consistent trendsetter HRH The Duchess of Cambridge when spotted wearing citrus tones during The Royal Couple’s 19-day Australian and New Zealand tour.

Arriving in sunny Sydney, Australia wearing a striking, canary yellow pencil dress, Kate looked every inch the immaculate fashionista (despite being cheekily labelled a ‘banana’ by The Duke of Cambridge.) Four days later, Kate was pictured in a pastel number for Easter Sunday at Taronga Zoo with William and George, causing the total sales of yellow dresses on the UK site to almost double during this period.

Kate is not alone in her fondness for the summery hue. The yellow trend is on the up in the UK, with the likes of Susanna Reid pictured in a lemon yellow frock for Good Morning Britain as well as Hollywood sweetheart Emma Stone, who wore a fiery full-length yellow gown to The Amazing Spider-Man 2 premiere in London, last week.

In addition, sales of both floral (+94%)** and green dresses (+88%)*** spiked hugely overnight from the moment Kate was pictured wearing these styles during the tour.

eBay spokesperson, Laura Wilkinson-Rea comments, “The Duchess of Cambridge’s wardrobe undeniably affects what’s in when it comes to style-hunting on eBay, with sales consistently skyrocketing after she is photographed in the latest trend.

A Raincoat That Let’s You Get On Your Bike.

Posted on by

If you were to treat yourself to the incomparable, stylish, cycling chic apparel
from The Cambridge Raincoat Company, then there would be no excuse not to
jump on your bike for the daily commute. Look stylish from door to door in this
perfectly practical raincoat.

Having experimented with all sorts of wet weather gear over the years including
waterproof cycling trousers and capes and struggling to overcome the negatives each
of them came with, Sally Guyer saw a niche for stylish yet effective cycle wear that is
appropriate for every stage of your journey and every aspect of daily life. This saw a
period of research, development and Savile Row tailoring to create the signature
raincoat of The Cambridge Raincoat Company.

The feeling that it must be possible to produce a coat long enough to keep the knees
dry, be brightly coloured enough to be noticeable yet still chic enough to be a pleasure
to wear was the motivation for Sally.

All raincoats produced by The Cambridge Raincoat Company are made using either
100% taslan, or 100% Cordura, depending on colour choice, both of which offer
considerable qualities in terms of protection from the elements. The fabrics are
highly water resistant and water will simply bead on the surface. With a soft,
polyester lining, the raincoats are very lightweight and incredibly comfortable to
wear, providing a breathable, windproof and stylish alternative to traditional cycle
wear. Best of all, they are washable.

Sally is a firm believer in Mikael Colville Andersen’s (founder of Copenhagen Cycle
Chic) opinion that ‘It’s about dressing for your destination, not the journey’. As much
as this is at the heart of The Cambridge Raincoat Company’s design, the key selling
point of these raincoats has got to be the practical protection and comfort they offer
for the journey itself.

Appealing to a broad age range and tapping into luxury for the astute commuter, The
Cambridge Raincoat Company are in a niche market all of their own. With Sally’s
dedication, there is no end to the potential of this company, Sally herself says, “I live;
sleep; eat; breathe my business all the time. I’m always thinking about what to do
next, and how to drive it forward.”

The new collection will initially feature one style each for both men and women, with
prices starting at £250.00.

Colour options available include red, yellow, mauve, green and navy.
