Once You Pop, You Can't Stop / Pringle of Scotland

Pringle of Scotland are known as the founders of knitwear. Although they may not have been the first line to carry knitted pieces, they were the first to implement them as outerwear. And to this day, they're still rocking the trend. This collection is full of colours, new-age cuts and styles, and chunky sweaters! In short, everything that I love to see in a collection!

Sheer is coming in to play with full force. Choosing a sheer top can be a great way to beat the heat, or even to add another layer without weighing yourself down. It's great to see Pringle playing with this new trend, and mixing it in with something classic. Argyle prints were first designed by Pringle of Scotland, and remain a fashion staple to this day. They've done a fantastic job at bringing some life to the old.

Would it really be a British line without a little Royal Blue? I'm not quite sure about the jacket to the left and how one would wear it, but its intricacy truly is fabulous. Definitely a mind fuck, but in a good way! The overall majesty of both these looks really brings me back to the olden-days or lords and ladies.

I love, love, LOVE these three looks. There have been a lot of 'grandpa' looks from lots of designers this season. Pringle of Scotland has done an excellent job at taking a youthful approach to something that would have otherwise been too old school. The chunky, thrown-together look of the three knitted sweaters really is the highlight of each look. I'm fully enjoying the different hues of blue that were used throughout this collection, as well as the cardigan pieces.
