Keeping up with the Bakers

With Spring just around the corner, say hello to this gorgeous Spring/Summer 2017 range from Ted Baker! This fresh new collection filled with offbeat, chalky tones, cloudy petrol and dusky pink, accented with bright blues and outrageous reds will more definitely catch your eye.

When it comes to menswear relaxed shapes sport striped trims and performance fabrics – such as neoprene and bonded jersey – to keep would-be rivals on their toes. Impressive details like rubberised zip cords and bungee-style pullers are pointedly placed in the spirit of one-upmanship.

Bags fit right in with the sports luxe trend with their rubberised leather finish. New scuba fabric shapes are a tantalising addition, the branded webbing and orange contrast zip pullers the subject of fierce fascination.

Ted’s womenswear is as refreshing and stylish as ever. It causes a stir this Spring Summer with brazen femininity and unabashed romanticism. Classic silhouettes boast pristine lines and architectural folds across pieces in which to see and be seen.

Soft shades of silver grey, cream and pretty pink form a delicate palette, accented with audacious pops of shocking pink, canary yellow and cobalt blue to pique one’s interest, with underlying floral patterns to make this range quite interesting.

Across men and womenswear this season, texture is highly south-after. In Ted’s menswear there a strong desire for suede bomber jackets, nylon outerwear, mouliné, and link stitching on knitwear that borders on obsession.

Textures are beyond reproach in womenswear, with all the juicy details dished out and placed just so: sheer burnout organza, lustrous satin and printed jacquard embellished with 3D flowers, a few of the gossip-worthy highlights. Prints are unrivalled, with hand-drawn manicured gardens, enticing pearls and layered oriental blossoms – nothing short of sensational.

Accessorise, accessorise, accessorise! Accessories demand attention, with Ted’s signature bow snatching the limelight on strappy stiletto sandals and structured handbags featuring daring statement clasps and timeless top handles. Challenging the status quo are an equally elegant selection of backpacks in a new softer, rounder shape and available in scandalous pastel pink and desirable floral.

So, what are you waiting for? The SS17 collection everyone’s talking about – can you Keep up with the Bakers?
