INTO THE WOODS

[STYLE] In honour of London Fashion Week, the intrepid OUT THERE team went down to the woods today and was in for a big surprise...

For the past few seasons the fashion world has been embracing the great outdoors. Rugged canvas and sheepskin-lined jackets with heavy boots gave us a winter filled with mountain-man fantasies. Spring will soon be upon us and the look is still all about outdoor pursuits. Lightweight cargo pants have replaced heavy canvas and denim has gone utility and high waists with buttons allow braces to be worn with jeans. Heavy checks are to be found throughout the designer and high street collections, whilst heavy boots roll in to spring.

COOL IN THE SHADES

SHOP IT: Left - Red plain fitted polo, green cotton cardigan  and green classic fit trousers all from LACOSTE | Right - Pink plain fitted polo and orange zipped jacket all from LACOSTE

Itʼs time to celebrate the sunshine and pull out your best, most colourful clothes. What could be better than strolling down the street this summer sporting these quintessentially colourful clothes from Lacoste.

Sportswear has never been better with this vibrant palette from Lacoste. Forget the typical sportswear shades of black, white and grey. This French sportswear brand never does anything conventional when it comes to colour. Lacosteʼs summer collection is packed with every shade you can imagine, from acid blue and bright orange to crimson red and lime green. This week Out There picked these hottest shades of the month - blue, green, orange and red. We think this colour-clashing style is fittingly appropriate for the summer season.




But donʼt worry if youʼre not a person who likes to be in the limelight, these awesome pieces also work well worn separately with classic blue denim or simple white trousers. And the good news is that theyʼre on sale now, so why not make an investment. We can promise you that these colourful pieces will last longer than one season, and will definitely come back again next summer for sure - just in time for the Games in 2012.
