Today is the first day that it really feels like Winter might be behind us. The sun is shining, there are bulbs trying to grow up in the garden and maybe, just maybe the Winter boots can go back in the wardrobe!

abide clothing – British fashion brand

To celebrate the movement into Spring we present to you a fabulous British fashion brand with a great Spring/Summer collection. Abide clothing is all about elegant items and feeling comfortable. Abide believe that their collection “should look as good in the day as they would at an early evening cocktail party”.

We love that the abide collection is all about transcending basics, work wear, day wear and evening wear.

Meadow Girls – S/S12 with abide

There is a great colour palette that is perfect for Spring days and heady Summer nights. Pastels mixed with pops of colour blocking, using a mixture of fine jersey, cottons, linens and silks to bring a well thought out collection.

The collection is derived from the idea of a hot summers day. “The image of hazy beings amongst wild flowers and blue skies represents the collection”.

We can feel a homage to nautical with navy silk dresses and shorts, with a focus on white with pastel hues really comes across in this collection. It’s fresh, focused and delightful.

Every piece of the abide collection is handmade by designer Kim McKellar in Devon, England and there is an online shop opening in March – so keep an eye out on the website and follow abide on Twitter.
