Colour-blocking used to great effect in this outfit. A beautiful pastel shaded button down collar shirt. Pastel tee underneath. Note the shirt is styled with one side tucked in. The shorts are well tailored and long in length, classic Seesucker stripe but with the pink colouring. I love that texture.
A wonderful knitted jumper, I really like that zip detail to the seam of the raglan sleeve. I love the colours used in the stripes and that gorgeous teal used as a base. The pink Seersucker stripe used as before on the shirt, again note only one side of the shirt hanging out. The trousers have an interesting detail of a stripe panel used on the top left hand side.
A better look at those trousers now. Beautiful deep blue in colour. The stripe panels on the top edge looks fantastic, I like how the panel goes into the front pockets a really lovely detail. The stripes carry on in various forms on the jumper. Keeping the colour palette simple works to great effect.
A cross breed, a real shirt jacket. Such a beautiful lightweight jacket, I love the orange colour and the blue rib with the stripes. The shirt underneath adds to the double collars which actually looks really cool. Again the shirt with one side tucked into the shorts. The shorts themselves have a wonderful texture to them, they have a single pleat to them to help the shape of the wider hem which is finished turned up.
A classic slim line single breasted two button suit. Lovely soft tailoring. Another version of the colour block shirt as before. The yellow and sky blue is a great combination.
Fantastic knitted top with buttonless placket and collars, really beautiful colouring with that deep purple contrasted with the fuchsia. The shorts with that longline length have a wonderful texture with a very subtle line print.
A wonderful printed anorak, note the drawstring to the waist which is a lovely detail. The shirt again styled as before with one side tucked in and the other side out, also has a very subtle print to it. Simple one pleat cropped trouser.
The prints are becoming a little more vivid, a classic sweatshirt with a very artist floral watercolour print. Matched with those lovely Seersucker stripe tailored shorts.
The bomber jacket, we’ve seen this fabric before. Beautiful texture and a subtle print. Note the rib to the neck has been placed so that the line of the centre front is unbroken, a really lovely touch. The Seersucker trousers are black on the front panels and blue on the back panels.
Colour blocking is a great way to add a pop of colour to any garment. I love this jumper and the lime green panel looks fantastic. The double shorts, the first one underneath can’t really be seen except for a little bit of the print and the lime green drawstring. The shorts on top has a great textured and well tailored. There is a matching jacket but it’s worn tied around the body and can’t really be seen.
A really wonderful outfit, the tonal greys and then that gorgeous lime green. Again great use of a subtle print on the coat, look carefully and you can just make out some sort of animal print.
Carven SS17 – a wonderful collection, simple shapes, beautiful tailoring. I love the knitwear, the textures really make the difference. The prints are artist and are subtle, I especially love the the floral print on the sweatshirt. What really stands out in this collection has to be the colours. The black, navy, greys are all good base colours but the pop of colours, the fuchsia, the lime green, the lilac, red and orange all come together in a delightful mix that I adore.
