Having a Whale of a Time
Friday, May 12, 2017
Sweater weather. That's how I'd describe it at the moment; spates of sunny intervals while the breeze picks up. Operation keep cosy is in effect. While I'm a jumper girl at heart, the merit of a snuggly sweater has not escaped my attention. (Count if you can, the number of times you've caught me in a cardi).
It's always a pleasure to share with you a new discovery when it comes to independent brands and on this occasion it's fabulous clothing label Whale of a Time from right here in my treasured land of Norfolk. What makes them brilliant is the ethos and direction that they have striven to employ. It really is inspiring to know that organic cotton is a priority and British design is being championed in what we are told is a world of 'fast fashion'. The best vessels are built to last.
If there is one thing I love it's a challenge on styling up a new piece!
I'm wearing the Minke sweatshirt which also comes in two other colour waves. It's a fun, retro style piece which is incredibly comfy to wear and is such great quality. The design lends itself to being worn with the majority of colours in my wardrobe but this time my navy skinnies insisted they were the perfect match to my sleeve stripes (they were right of course). Just in shot are my grey biker boots too.
What is easier to wear than a sweater? It's going to be perfect on those summer evenings just as the sun dips below the horizon and the cool night air flows in.
From this one piece you can gauge a fair amount about Whale of a Time clothing; simple, quality designs which can be worn everywhere. The new SS17 collection adds to an already solid range of t-shirts, sweaters, hoodies and bottoms as well as accessories; a well thought out theme runs through of colours, piping and striping and always with the cute little whale tail logo. It is immediately obvious that each piece belongs to the range.
I'm really impressed.
How would you wear a sweater? I have denim shorts in mind.
