The chic femininity and comfort of Sunspel womenswear

When Sunspel (http://www.sunspel.com/us) finally launched a womenswear range after the 2005 purchase of the British clothing company by Nicholas Brooke and Dominic Hazlehurst, many observers may not have realized that this was another new development in which it was harking back to its past. After all, the company had been making fine underwear for women even back in its early days. However, there are many other ways in which the new range of women’s T-shirts, tops and vests, knitwear and more taps into the past while also fully embracing a 21^st century sensibility.

For one thing, the new quality clothing collection certainly makes the most of Sunspel’s longstanding commitment to fabric innovation. From the 100% fine merino wool out of which its crew neck jumpers are made, to the Q75 cotton mesh fabric of its Riviera polo shirts and the Q82 unique fine jersey fabric that has been adopted for its fitted and tie neck vests, the womenswear range flaunts Sunspel’s ability to make its past pay in the present. These fabrics all have a story to tell, with Q82, for example, being a descendant of the lisle cotton that the company used a century or so ago for some of the world’s very first T-shirts.

These fabric touches have long ensured the basic wearability of Sunspel luxury clothing that has had customers returning time and time again, but the company’s garments are not merely about durability and comfort. That’s because, over the years, a strong reputation has also been established for a certain elegant and timeless aesthetic, as is clear in the firm’s clothing for both men and women. Sunspel’s women’s T-shirts, for example, combine flattering silhouettes with a range of seasonal colors. The likes of crew neck, V neck and scoop neck tops are all presently available in colors like Black, White, Navy, Charcoal and Moss.

There are all manner of aspects of Sunspel’s women’s range that show that the company’s attention to detail is not merely restricted to its mens designer clothes. Its Riviera Polos, for example, have had the pocket removed from them and a soft knitted rib collar and cuffs added for their redesign for the womenswear range. The result is slightly more feminine, but still looser than the company’s equivalent T-shirts, which makes such a polo shirt a good match to a pleated skirt or white skinny jeans.  The company’s polo dresses, meanwhile, fit in a flattering fashion without being too tight. They are further enhanced by a super soft knit and refined detailing.
