Who's Wearing What

#NewLookers Share Their Fav Summer Styles

by Emma Menteath, Editorial Lead

Summer may be taking it's time to show it's face but that's not slowing our #NewLookers down when it comes to our new summer collection.

With must-have pieces like our gingham smock dresses and standout slogan tees flying off the rails, it's no wonder our retail team couldn't wait to get their hands on the new summer collection, too.

​​​​​​​ We caught up with a few of them to find out what they're loving about being back in store, what their favourite pieces are from the new collection and if they have anything special planned for when lockdown lifts even more. Here's what they had to say...

1. Lucy Mckeon, Sales Advisor at Cardiff St Davids

What have you enjoyed the most about stores being back open?
Seeing all my amazing colleagues at work, and seeing our customers so happy to have a bit of normality back in their life and they are loving our product!

What is your favourite piece from the New Look summer collection?
My favourite piece is the gingham smock dress with the yellow daisies embroidered on, because it's super cute and you can wear it to the pub, holiday or work - basically anywhere.

What are you most looking forward to doing now lockdown's lifting?
​​​​​​​ I'm hoping to go on a staycation as I've bought so many clothes and need to go somewhere to wear them.

2. Vanessa Edwards, Supervisor at Salisbury

What have you enjoyed the most about stores being back open?
Since the reopening of the stores I’ve very much enjoyed seeing/working with my amazing team, interacting with all our lovely customers and being able to actually shop and wear the new stock. I’ve missed being able to dress up and feel normal again.

What is your favourite piece from the New Look summer collection?
It's so hard to pick a particular piece but my favourite trend would have to be “Shine On" - it's like summer has entered our stores. I love the dressesgingham prints and bright floral patterns - it’s girly and brings out the fun side to people’s personalities. Roll on summer!

What are you most looking forward to doing now lockdown's lifting?
​​​​​​​ New plans can’t come quick enough. I have a full summer wardrobe ready and waiting so I’m hoping we have some hot summer weather to be able to wear dresses and skirts. I'm looking forward to enjoying cocktails with all my friends, weekends away, dressing up for dinners and date nights.

3. Jolanta Lennon, Sales Advisor at Watford

What have you enjoyed the most about stores being back open?
What I’ve enjoyed the most is being around my friends and customers. Being able to help customers to create outfits and have a nice chat.

What is your favourite trend from the New Look summer collection?
My favourite trend from the summer collection is Shine On. I love the yellows, blues and baby pinks. My favourite pieces are definitely midi dresses and jumpsuits, I love to style them with an oversized denim jacket.

What are you most looking forward to doing now lockdown's lifting?
I’m mostly looking forward to being back to normal and having fun with my friends without any limitations. Hopefully travelling to see my family and friends abroad. I just can’t wait to go out to a restaurant or a pub without worrying about how many people can go in or social distancing.

4. Vikki Morgan, Sales Manager at Arndale

What have you enjoyed the most about stores being back open?
I've really enjoyed interacting with people since stores have opened - it's been really nice to engage in conversations and being able to touch and try clothes on again, finally!

What is your favourite piece from the New Look summer collection?
I am loving the bright colours coming through at the moment. Anything gingham/floralthat you can wear with key denim pieces and then with trainers, sandals and even heels! I am obsessed with wide-leg jeans. They are my absolute fave.

What are you most looking forward to doing now lockdown's lifting?
​​​​​​​ I am so excited to be able to go on girls brunches with all my friends and having drinks. Or even a spa weekend away with the girls. It's been a tough 12 months - we deserve it!
