French Connection goes minimal for spring summer 2013

French Connection spring summer 2013 dress and leather look jacketThe new women spring summer collection at French Connection combines a minimalist nod Jil Sander with a very cool summer print style. Subtle and sharp its got a lot of understated attention grabbing items that will add something new to your summer wardrobe.

However, you can also pull together a number of entirely new looks through the collections, whether it’s pairing the riot leather look jacket with a summer dress, or pulling on their super skin leg hugging jeans with the eye catching horse print blouse, which is one of our favourite items in the spring summer ’13 range.

The lines of the dresses have a very simple cut, which makes them look a little less obvious than the average summer dress. Their very similar to the smock dress style of Jil Sander, with distinct lines but with less grey so they get the best of both worlds.

We love the black Vienna lace Jersey dress too, which is elegant and stylish without being heavy or boring. The lace sleeves are very cute and the figure hugging silhouette adds height, building on the slimming block black colour. The keyhole button fastener a the back is a great feature detail and the floating width of the above the knee skirting should keep you well cooled on sunny days.

If you’re looking for something that’s a little bit more eye popping, the cherry tonic striped knitted bandage Chopin dress is a good options for the slinkier body. However, if you’re a little more curvy on the bust, belly or hips then this could do more to detract than flatter with its stretching close fit. The long sleeves make this an evening dress. If you make the mistake of wearing it during the day you might end up getting a little too hot around midday.

Our final pick from the collection is the acid chevron top, with a stylish chevron print and lightweight crepe material. According to the guys at French Connection it goes perfectly with high waisted skinny jeans and heels and we’re 100% behind them on this one.
