BOSS Orange


Sometimes it's best to go back to basics. BOSS Orange offer both glamour and simplicity so you can feel your best even when you just want something toned down and comfortable. BOSS Orange ladieswear is available at our Bolton store which you can find on our map here!


It can sometimes be tricky to find your perfect fit, but a casual pair of jeans are easily a staple item in any woman's wardrobe. Check out these navy Lunja jeans for perfect easy-going style. Pair them with a simple t-shirt and some comfortable flats, or dress them up with heels and a gorgeous leather jacket like this one, and if you're feeling really adventurous throw on some statement jewellery.


A light knit is exactly what everybody needs to keep off the spring chill without looking too heavy or layered up. Comfortable, soft and casual, this Wava knit jumper has us swooning.


Ditch your wooly winter scarf in favour of this beautifully light and colourful Natharina scarf that looks gorgeous alongside pretty much anything. Pull it on with a dress for a splash of colour and a hint of spring glamour, or make it your go-to accessory to liven up a basic outfit.



Basic t-shirts are the easiest to wear with absolutely everything. Tuck into some high waisted jeans or a skirt, or throw it on over some leggings for a laid-back look, this Taratisa top will look great with everything.

Deakins

Shoes shoes shoes, they're difficult to find the perfect ones, right guys? So how about we give you a hand... or a shoe? Take a look at Nicholas Deakins. Here, we'll make it easier for you and show you right here.


We looooove these Imposter Apron boots. Pull them on with a shirt to dress them up for a night out with the lads or maybe a little date (wit woo!) or they'd look great with your favourite pair of skinny jeans and a t-shirt for a casual everyday look. 


The thick sole on these Ginza Apron boots create ultimate comfort and they look great with pretty much everything. Keep things casual with jeans and a light knit to keep off the spring chill and you're set with great style.

Boat shoes are perfect paired with shorts for a lovely summer look. Casual, easy-going and light on your feet, make a swap from boots to boats and you'll be set all summer! Even if it's not quite sunny enough for shorts, whack them on with whatever you want and you'll still feel summery. These Joseon ones are absolutely lovely.

Take a look at the rest of our Deakins range here or if you're still not satisfied, you can see all of the mens footwear that we offer here.

Off to the Races

The Grand National is coming up so it's time to get suited up and looking smart. If you're struggling to find something that's good enough for the races then we might have just what you're looking for.

For the ladies



For all you lovely ladies, it's time to show off your most beautiful, classy and elegant dresses. Of course Ted Baker ticks all of those boxes and we're absolutely in love with this nude pink Aliana dress. So what do you pair it with? We have the answer!


If it's a little too chilly to leave your arms bare, cover up with a beautiful pastel coloured jacket like this gorgeous pale green Alisya blazer. Sling it over your shoulders for a cool look whilst keeping it classy and still smart.

Incorporate the pretty pinks and gorgeous greens into your shoes with these lovely Leonar shoes. They're so pretty, we'll probably be wearing them with everything. 


If you're fancying being a little matchy-matchy, we love this pale green Suga evening clutch bag. Keep your little essentials kept safe in this beautiful little bag while you keep a watch on the horses.


For the gentlemen


This Fred Perry long sleeved shirt is lovely and smart but keeps things simple so that you can worry about the races rather than how you're looking. The turquoise colour is gorgeous for a lovely sunny day while the long sleeves keep you covered in case of a breeze (or worse!) so you can just get along with enjoying your day.


Once again, Ted Baker have got it covered with these comfortable, smart, slim leg Mordord chinos. Pair them with your smartest shirt but keep them for more casual days too with a polo for a more relaxed look.


If the sun decides not to show and it's a little chillier, you might just need an extra layer. This Ted Baker Greenleaf coat is smart enough for that trip to the Grand National but lovely for any other day, too.


You're going to need something comfortable as well as smart, so we love these Lacoste Sherbrooke Leather hi boots to get the perfect balance. We think they'll look great with your everyday stuff, too!

Henri Lloyd

Men, it's time to get yourself ready and set for summer. The sun is starting to shine and it's time to crack out the summery clothes, so Henri Lloyd have got us set.


Abandon the long sleeves and let your arms have a breath of fresh air whilst still looking smart. Keep it casual with shorts or dress it up for a night out with your smartest shoes. Take a look here.


These Jerzy shorts are the perfect length for relaxed summer style. Comfort and style come together to create an easy-going look for days in the park or lounging around on the beach.


For something less dressy than a full button-down shirt, grab yourself a  Dunston polo shirt for relaxed, casual style in this gorgeous Morning Cloud colour. This has summer written all over it!


For the days when it's a little chillier (let's face it, our English weather can be very temperamental), layer it up with something light just like this Penley Crew knit for lovely spring comfort. Ahhhh.

Take a look at the rest of the Henri Lloyd range at Hurleys here!

Finders Keepers

We love Finders Keepers. Playful, expressive, bold and yet feminine, we think you will love them too. And since the brand is Australian, that just screams happiness and summery fun to us. What about you?


Their collections are full of colour and fun. We love The Graduate Northern Hemisphere collection with loud and bright prints that grab attention and just radiate a relaxed summer feel.


The Lost League collection dominates the monochrome trend, paired with bold silhouettes to create a powerful image. Be confident and express your personal style in Finders Keepers as we roll into spring and demand attention throughout summer.


Dark navy the someday jumpsuit

The sunny weather this week is getting us all excited for lazy summer days and long, relaxing holidays. Grab yourself some beautiful, comfortable dresses or this lovely black jumpsuit that's perfect for warm, chilled out evenings with a pair of heels and a gorgeous clutch bag.

If jumpsuits aren't your thing we have some bolder dresses with amazing, bright colours, or monochrome with stand out shapes - we're thinking peplums and deep V-necks. Check out all our Finders Keepers here!

Preparing for Mother's Day!

Mother's Day is coming up on 30th March, which means it's time to get shopping for all those lovely mums out there! We have a feeling that some of you might be struggling to think of something (other than the usual chocolates and flowers) so it's time to step up your game and spoil your wonderful mother with some fabulous treats. We have a few ideas, so take a look at our picks and see if there's anything that your mum would love. 


Sometimes a lady just needs a little bag to pop all of her little items in, and this Ted Baker Washbag does just the trick. Give her this lovely bag with the pretty Regency Houses print so that she can stash away her favourite products and easily carry them around (maybe in a brand new bag, like the one below).


A tote bag is all a woman needs to fit in everything she could possibly want. Paired with this beautiful umbrella, rainy days seem a little less upsetting and difficult. The Ted Baker Molewod Umbrella and Bag makes the perfect Mother's Day present - pretty, stylish and above all convenient for fitting in all her belongings.


This gorgeous Maison Scotch Scarf is light and pretty, so it's just enough for the mild, breezy days that roll along with the spring. Pair it with any outfit to brighten and dress up a little. We love it so much, we might just keep it for ourselves!


If your mum is lucky enough to be preparing for a holiday, or perhaps just a bright English summer, maybe some summery shoes are the way to go. These Toms Wedge Platforms are comfortable for a nice summer evening - they're not too high, so that they're as comfortable as any other Toms shoes, but high enough to give a little glamour and freshen up any outfit. The neutral colour makes them even more wearable, so that they can be paired with anything and look great.

If none of these wonderful items have caught your eye, take a look at our website and hunt around for something that your mum would fall in love with!
