Something Special from Online Shopping

I have noticed a recent trend among online retailers: more websites are now offering ‘premium’ ranges.  The name of these ranges differs between retailers, but essentially they all offer a more exclusive (and more expensive) range of clothing.

For example, Joules has introduced the Boutique collection, which is described as a “touch of luxury”.  This silk and linen mix top certainly looks luxurious.  It is available in the pink shown here, or a blue/green shade.  This fabric mix would drape nicely, and the style is simple enough that you could wear in as part of a casual or dressy outfit.  It costs £79 and can be washed by hand.

At the same time, Boden has introduced “Limited Edition”, a small boutique range in limited numbers.  They say that the collection has a slightly softer palette and beautiful embellishments.   This navy dress is trimmed with sequins.  I think it would fit the bill for a smart evening do, or could be worn for a less formal occasion with sandals and sunglasses.

If you are looking to push the boat out, My-Wardrobe is full of special pieces.  The prices are somewhat higher than most online retailers, but the quality is good, and the clothes are sold in limited numbers.  This means that you are unlikely to meet somebody wearing the same clothes as you!

The blue jacket in the photo is by Acne and costs £340.  For someone who works at home (as I do) this would probably be too expensive.  In the days when I had office job smart jackets were an indispensible part of my working wardrobe.

The packaging for clothes dispatched from online retailers is very well designed now.  The garments arrive in good condition, and should they not meet your requirements.  There are often offers of free postage, and the cost of any return is usually free (but not always).  I advise checking these details before placing an order, as this can result in an unexpected expense.
