REISS SS11 Review

Walking around the Market Place branch of Reiss today was a lovely glimpse into my future wardrobe (which will obviously sit in line with my much healthier future wallet) and I can't help but comment on their current Womenswear range. 

Firstly, the key colour palette that they have chosen to display this season is one of my favourites on the High Street at the moment. Their use of neutrals such as Camels, Taupes, Maize and Peach sets a beautifully calm foundation to the statement pieces in the range. The main statement colours feature blues and indigos ranging from Navy to Electric. The combination conjures the image of an exotic dusk coastline with sharp constructions and clean-cut class (try and say that after a few summer cocktails!)


Reiss has had an enormous surge of publicity in recent months with Kate Middleton wearing the infamous white Nanette Dress for the Testino engagement photographs so the pressure to offer the perfect range has been mounting and has clearly paid off. 

In my opinion, the weaker factors in the collection include the entire shoe range and the red Peacock dress. Both display a messy finish and do not complement the flawless majority but you can't have everything, can you? And if you did, where's the thrill in the competition?

Its finally Summer! Treat yourself, for goodness sake!
