New & Lingwood: A Holiday at Home
The latest spring-summer collection from New & Lingwood is a masterclass in escapism and eccentricity
Words by Will Halbert
I risk no charge of exaggeration in suggesting that we wear clothes to equip ourselves for the journey ahead. What we choose to wear so often becomes the armour we don to aid our much-needed and well-earned escapades in distant lands. In just as many cases – and especially of late – it’s the clothes themselves that become the journey. Each new pattern, cut, and fabric flourish gives textile and tactile form to our dreams of escape.
This is especially true of New & Lingwood, whose collections have long captured the wonders and joys of discovery in each and every stitch and seam and silken robe. The New & Lingwood spring-summer ‘21 collection continues in this rich tradition, with a loungewear lineup of striking new prints inspired by exotic destinations.
Italian-crafted, pure silk jackets and silk cable knits keep off those chilly spring mornings, while Bermuda shorts and vibrantly patterned swim shorts are surefire essentials for that long-awaited coastal retreat. Traditional tailoring finds itself deconstructed here too, with unlined linen jackets masterfully cut and tailor-made for warmer climes.
Boasting English-woven, lightweight cloths, softer, more relaxed tailoring, and an extended loungewear collection, New & Lingwood have come away with a serious sartorial offering for those who like to take their sartorialism, well, a little less seriously.
‘Our focus going forward is to re-imagine expectations of relaxed style,’ says New & Lingwood C.E.O, Freddie Briance. ‘In both tailoring and loungewear, we’re elevating the standards of domestic elegance around the world.’
It’s a bold collection enriched by a genuine sense of fun and adventure. A collection that not only wears its dreams of escape on its finely crafted, expertly tailored sleeve, but further solidifies New & Lingwood’s status as the go-to destination for relaxed tailoring and luxurious loungewear.
