I don’t know about you, but I love department stores. With everything under one roof, beautifully laid out so you can drift happily from shoes to wine glasses, there is something very special about a good department store. John Lewis is one of my faves for their haberdashery department, lingerie and a great mix of women’s wear labels. Now, this week, they have launched a new women’s clothing line, so you have every excuse to pop in and check it out.
JL Weekend is perfectly designed for the, well weekend! The range features more than 80 pieces from cotton t-shirts to cashmere cardigans, and leather tote bags, with prices starting from £20. Cottons and denim provides the foundation for the line, with a variety of on trend coloured jeans, pastel cotton shirts and a large selection of marl jersey. Items of note include a broderie anglaise cotton dress in scorched orange and a chain knit cardigan in navy and cream.
Jo Hooper, Head of Womenswear buying at John Lewis says, “This line is all about easy outfit building; mixing and matching quality pieces and on trend colours to create a stylish, pared down summer wardrobe encompassing everything from dresses and separates, to shoes and accessories. The aim was to create stylish, fashion led casuals that the JL woman would feel confident in, and have fun picking out. JL Weekend is about leaving the office behind”.
The collection succeeds in appealing to all ages as classic Parisian looks are combined with on trend fashion essentials. Alongside clothes, the collection features shoes, bags and scarves to create a capsule wardrobe to get you through the weekend. JL Weekend has launched today, on the 1st February 2012, other labels at John Lewis include Oasis, Ted Baker and French Connection.
