Close Up - Bright Bright Whites

Paige ripped white high stretch skinnies. Super comfy.  We suggest combining with this cool easy white linen shirt.

The same shirt can also be paired with these white heavily ripped boyfriend shorts from Mother denim. 

Below we see some beautiful examples of white styles brought to us from Spanish brand Zara. 

Girbaud baggy cropped whites with massive amounts of detailing. Background fabric is white on white cotton jacquard with top stitching instead of ripping, decorative taping at pockets and zippers at ankles. Tons going on but a very cool baggy boy style.

Baggy and straight whites from NFS below. They are white but with a hint of pale indigo. Double layered in parts with pale washed out indigo peeking through plus interesting top stitching.  You have to be a brave soul to wear such big holes.

Bright whites from MiH and J Brand to satisfy the girls and Zara for the boys.  White is ultra cool.

Mih £290

J Brand £74.36

Mih £235

Zara £19.99

Vintage: Nantucket

Levi red vintage jacket in ring spun denim with a green casted shade. The green cast is due to the natural brown cotton weft affecting the indigo warp shade.  

The shape is asymmetrical with tidy details of arrowhead pocket finishing and overstitched seams for greater emphasis of the unusual styling.  The back is shorter than the front giving a gamine look.

Trend - Nantucket

It's natural; It's bluer than blue; It's sunny sand; It's the freedom of sail.  

Sunbleached driftwood and sand shades combine with Breton and deck chair stripes and faded weatherboarding accented by the occasional faded sailors red and bleached aqua. Heavy and natural textures for coarse cotton knit cover ups and rough linen cut offs.
