Getting the Nautical Look this Summer with British Icon Crew Clothing

Crew Clothing has made looking good this summer effortless. One of the season’s hottest trends - the nautical style - is an intrinsic part of Crew’s swank spring/summer 2012 collection. Bold and brightly coloured flattering stripe combinations set the tone for both the men and women’s ranges. True to Crew’s roots, the ocean remains a strong source of inspiration; represented by blue variations and crisp whites, which are complimented by strong earthy tones. Popular accents across the range include mainstay checks with beautifully coordinated colourways, flaunted by light, airy summer fabrics.

Collection highlights from the Women’s range comprise the simple and versatile Striped T-Shirt Style Christie Dress, the bright and sassy Austin Checked Shirt and the perfectly summery Melody Black White and Pink Tankini.

Men’s collection stand-outs are the GBR Short Sleeve Rugby Shirt for the classic college-beach look, the light and eye-catching Harsfield Checked Shirt and maroon Sailing Club Leather Deck Shoes.

Crew’s spring/summer2012 range offers wearers beautifully flexible pieces that can be worn summer through, day or night, on the beach or out on the town - and so continues a tradition that has come to be the epitome of premium casual styling. If you haven’t heard it by now; Crew Clothing has recently expanded its range to include girls and boys casual clothing too, bringing the brand’s bright, fun and casual styling to a younger generation.

FACTFILE:
Crew Clothing started out in Salcombe in 1993, when founder Alastair Parker-Swift was running a thriving windsurfing business during the summer months. Seeing an opportunity to help fund his lifestyle Alastair sourced some navy and white rugby shirts, applied an original 93 patch to create our heritage shirt. After only 10 days trading and instant success Alastair made the decision to find premises in Cowes for the start of Cowes Week. From this, the Crew Clothing brand was born.

Crew Clothing premium casual wear for men, women and children - truly passionate about clothing made from quality fabrics, great attention to detail and design that offers an effortlessly relaxed style. The pride in its coastal roots is clearly reflected today in Crew’s product, stores and branding.
