Cricket style…

That old English cricket style, synonymous with lazy afternoons, drinks on the verandah, class and sophistication, is back.

This Spring, kit yourself out with a classic cricket jumper and smash a six for style…

The weather seems to have turned decidedly summery of late. The twittering birds and blue skies have left us looking forward to the warmer months. Naturally, our attention has also turned to what we will be wearing. ‘Old English’ style is back in big way. And what is more old English than Sunday afternoons spent lazily watching a game of cricket, quaffing Pimms and scoffing a Victoria sponge or two? Designers have clung to this ideal with relish and Cricket-style is in. You don’t need to look further than Paul Smith’s beautifully designer cricket ball to see what we mean!

Ralph LaurenRalph Lauren offer up some great pieces of cricket-style. This cable-knit cotton vest is a great Spring staple. Keep the look neutral and fresh with all white apparel to accompany it, or add a splash of the preppy-chic that will also be hitting the high streets this spring. If you’re feeling daring, thick rimmed glasses, patterned shirt and snazzy bow-tie will look wonderful.

For that extra vintage look – more Grace than Botham – Ralph Lauren also offer this stunning cricket jacket. It’s great for any layered look and offers the wearer a real air of sophistication and privilege.  If you’re after jumper that shows off the cricket-chic and white isn’t your colour, this Polo crested V-neck is for you . Subtly, it keeps the grace of the vintage English style without the being too daring.

For the classic cricket jumper, shop around for some vintage Lacoste pieces. For that ‘straight-off-the-village-green look’, check this out . But if you’re after a real bargain, look no further than Hackett London.

This merino cashmere jumper, freshly reduced, is a great addition to any wardrobe and ideal for someone looking to experiment with the cricket theme.

Happy shopping and we hope you feel inspired by our cricket style.
