Lands End staged its Spring 2013 media preview-with the classics refreshed for the warm seasons---and of course-the legendary variety of swimwear on display too.

Lands End listens to its customers-and female-wise-the cotton frock, wrapped knits and wearable linen... are ever so popular---here in feminine solids and unique colorful prints that began life as hand drawn illustrations by a cornfield sitting, Torie...well done.

Note-the quality of materials that will survive multiple cleanings...and manufacturing details astonish-given the accessible price points...finishes of items which we try to highlight---are so thoughtful...and distinguish Lands End from other mass merchandized clothing brands-similarly priced.
