Stay cool, Italian style in 120% Lino...
120% Lino is a hero label for Stanwells Boutiques, this luxury Italian
design label has been adorning our rails for more than a decade. The
reason why our customers love to buy 120% Lino year after year is
because it is perfection personified - easy to wear with a beautiful cut
and exquisite stitching detail, each piece simply falls into place and feels
wonderful on.
The Bolognian designer behind the label, Alberto Peretto, sought his
inspiration from a crumpled linen jacket on a rail at Camden Market, he
took his dreams back to Italy and so the label was born. With
sustainability such a hot topic these days and linen one of the oldest
natural fabrics in the world – over a thousand years old, it is easy to
understand why 120% Lino continues to evoke timeless elegance,
transporting us effortlessly from one season to next.
With a natural colour pallet and soft organic feel of the fabric the very
essence of each piece is apparel perfection. Cool, effortless chic, easy
to wear, lightweight, breathable and bang on trend, 120% Lino has our
style stakes nailed and this is why we salute each season with the arrival
of our hero label.
Streamline your wardrobe with these 5 key pieces
Having spent the last few months at home, we’re sure you’re now all experts at tidying, sorting, cleaning and baking! Here at Stanwells we know how difficult it is to overhaul your wardrobe and perhaps even your personal style, but we also know how rewarding it is to streamline your wardrobe with a few key investments. We’ve rounded up our 5 staple pieces that your wardrobe should revolve around, to make day-today dressing a breeze...
The smart-casual dress
Seeing as we’re approaching Summer, it feels appropriate that we kick things off with a dress. Investing in a flattering shape, luxurious fabric and timeless colours or patterns will ensure you never get tired of wearing it. Midi dresses are perfect for transitioning from a relaxed daytime look paired with some Golden Goose sneakers and Taylor Morris sunglasses, to a chic evening outfit worn with heels and a Jerome Dreyfuss bag. They are flattering on more or less any figure and look good no matter what your height, as long as it skims your calf at it’s thinner point. Whether you’re in need of a wedding guest look, a throw on sun dress or an evening outfit, the midi dress is the perfect solution to all your wardrobe needs. Here are our favourites of the season so far:
Hayley Menzies Eden Midi Dress in Yellow
Baum & Pferdgarten Axelle Dress in Cream & Black Boomerang
Essentiel Antwerp Vayen Dress in Black Floral with Dots
The throw on blazer
Perfect for year-round wear, a blazer should be your best friend when it comes to seasonal styling. Whether you throw it on with jeans and a tee or smarten it up with wide leg trousers and heels, the blazer is an essential piece in every fashionista's wardrobe. This season we’re loving the oversized look, with Isabel Marant and Essentiel Antwerp playing on masculine tailoring within their collections. Think large shoulders and boxy silhouettes from the 80's mixed seamlessly with the chic prints and patterns of today. We couldn’t live without one of these 3 styles…
Essentiel Antwerp Voise Floral Print Check Jacket
Vince Drapey Boyfriend Blazer in Sun Creme
Essentiel Antwerp Vaneyck Jacket in Grey Plaid
The relaxed jean
Denim will never go out of style and this season we’re loving the relaxed, easy to wear silhouette. This new classic tends to be high waisted with a straight leg cut, that lengthens the leg and looks effortlessly cool paired with your throw on blazer and some sneakers. Look no further than Boyish for a selection of laid-back styles perfect for everyday wear. Crafted from recycled cotton, in a slightly more rigid denim than we’re used to, these jeans hark back to the balloon leg from the 80's. Here are our top picks that we know you’ll love…
Boyish The Tommy Jeans in The Hustler
Boyish The Toby Jeans in Rear Window
Boyish The Mikey Jeans in Two For The Road
The Classic Shirt
A true wardrobe staple whatever the season, a crisp shirt can elevate your look to a whole new level. Whether you’re a fan of timeless white cotton, sumptuously soft silk or lightweight linen, we’ve got you covered with our selection of designer tops. We love a loose, flowing linen shirt paired with jeans for easy everyday style. If you’re looking to make a statement why not add a bold print to your wardrobe with an Essentiel Antwerp shirt in a cool oversized fit. We’ve rounded up our favourites for you…
Essentiel Antwerp Viral Navy Polka Dot Shirt
Velvet by Graham & Spencer Ramona Shirt in White
120% Lino Long Sleeve Shirt with Embellishment in Avio Blue
The go-anywhere trainer
Perhaps the most essential item of all, trainers are the finishing touch to almost all of our favourite looks this season. Whether you’re sporting a summer dress or a chic trouser suit, trainers add a touch of cool-girl style that you can’t get from any other shoe. Unsure which style to go for?... We love a hi-top style on long legs paired with an ankle skimming skirt and a simple tee, or for the more petite lady try some chunky sole sneakers with a sun dress or jeans. Our top picks of the season so far are…
Golden Goose Running Sole Sneaker
Ash Cult Trainers in White/Ariel
Golden Goose Slide Sneakers in Silver Glitter
The At-Home Style Edit
We’re set to be inside for the foreseeable future thanks to covid-19, so there will be a sure shift in the way we dress. Whilst some may believe that fashion should not be at the top of their priority list, here at Stanwells we believe that what you wear can really boost your mood. Working at home encourages us to stay comfy and although that seems appealing for now, the novelty will soon wear off. We need to keep up appearances in order to boost our spirits and work more efficiently despite these strange circumstances. In light of this, we’ve curated an at-home edit packed full with chic yet comfortable pieces suitable for your new indoor life...
You can't go wrong with a pair of jeans, whether you're a skinny jean lover or prefer a more relaxed silhouette, they are a true wardrobe staple. If you're looking to stay on-trend during your isolation, then opt for either wide or straight leg styles in a relaxed fit. Our top picks are Golden Goose's Texas cropped jeans, Boyish The Mikey wide leg jeans and Baum und Pferdgarten's Nanne cuffed jeans this season.
Possibly the most important part of your at-home wardrobe, knitwear will keep you cosy until the sun starts to shine. Our new season knitwear ranges from tonal basics by Vince to vibrant knits in rainbow colours by Hayley Menzies. Wear yours to add a touch of luxury to a basic jeans and tee look or invest in some cashmere loungewear by Chinti & Parker for the ultimate sports-luxe look.
Although we are unable to go about our day to day lives as normal at the moment, we're still encouraged to get out and about on walks in your local area. This means trainers and accessories are still required! We are loving all the sparkly sneakers that we have this season, they are sure to brighten your day in these uncertain times. These cross-body phone cases by Bandolier are at the top of our at-home wishlist, cool and practical, they will ensure you never lose your phone again!
