Polished, grown-up, mix and match, stylish tailored basics in bold color options---value priced, well made...


A few thoughts on Lands" End Women's Fall 2011.
Wrap belted camel  tone wool peacoat and Argyle Sweater Knit -can't go wrong atop chinos, jeans or offices skirts.
three button on sleeve-solid buttons sewn on so as not to fall off




















It's not so much a re-invention at this label, season after after season. It's more about updating or filling in the apparel items--- they'll probably do just fine for Fall through Spring-  (depending where one lives...)---year after year, without dating.
Peacoats in terrific color options-our fav, this pink hued orange. Bright and well matched with the paisley scarf

HIGHLIGHTS:

As with the LANDS' END CANVAS Collections for men and women, the themes are similar---sweaters, woven shirts, chinos, and woolen outerwear----sized for the grown-ups----meaning a slightly fuller cut.

Luxe wool blend toggle coat feels like cashmere-well lined ($299)

























Classic plaid lining in a toggle coat




















Car length and longer Reefer Coats----in a pleasing pinky and orange tones as well as the neutrals---with striped linings, fyi-makes them so special, inside and out. With collars up or down, versatile outerwear.




Lining is perfectly sewn in





Weekend wear  is pulled together with this tabbed sleeve sweatshirt material (fleece)---that layers well


Crew Neck Knit Sweater to wear layered or by itself




























Crisp side sash---very chic white shirt---Flattering---the cuffs are amazing


Tabbed cuffs detail


















Menswear inspired shirts-great breadth of colors- button downs but easy care too  



Drawstring Anorak paired with this Orange plaid shirt-sleeves rolled up, belted---practical polish

Army Green jacket works with all shades just about










































Chambray Dress with Camel Brown belt -a nod to western wear but not costume-ish---with tuxedo pleats that are flattering


Ease of Sweater Dresses-comfy and work appropriate---in a pretty peacock blue






























































Shawl collar double knit jacket -comfortable and pulled together

Diamond pattern quilted jacket-water resistant


Soft jackets as easy to wear as any hoodie


CHINOS---trouser style---fits differently than the LE Canvas versions---for women---the rises are higher (waistbands)...with built in stretch...in boot cut, wide and straight leg.



AND PANTS----




ACCESSORIES:

Riding Boots: with a stretchy calf extension AND also in extended calf sizes







































FLATS: Cute best sellers in a wide range of colors---ballet flats with details like buckles, grosgrain ribbon trims...




















Square toe driving mocs- boat shoe inspired slip-on-with contrast stitching, nautical grommets originally there to drain the water out

Smooth leather clogs with sticky rubber outsoles






















Scarves in as many patterns as these crew neck sweaters

Canvas tote with nautical navy trim-staple


Ribbed Hemmed-Knit wool caps with Fair Isle style patterns
