Updated with new looks!

Velour delivers us a preview of their Autumn Winter 2012 boot with the Clarks Originals collection. The boot goes well beyond the usual colorway plays. Patchwork and woven leathers are contrasted with oily nubucks and deep browns and greens – all of which pull from Velour’s Scandinavian roots. Delivers in stores around August 2012. (apologies on the tough photo).

Velour have sent over images of their Spring/Summer 2012 collection and, what do you know, it’s a doozy. We remember the ol’ days when we’d have to search high and low for some Velour but thankfully those days are over. The issue now is getting our size before everyone else pulls the trigger. We know, poor us. We’re basically the living reincarnation the Jay-Z’s verse from ‘This can’t be life’. At least we can look at it early and start plotting on what to get when it arrives in stores. We might even have to camp outside for one or two items.

Take a leap, see more.

Swedish brand Velour presents a film for their new Autumn/Winter 2011 ‘Inheritance’ Collection, following the roots of the brand. Enjoy!

(DJ Clue voice)New Velour! Velour, Velour Velour(/DJ Clue voice). We received images of Velour’s SS12 collection and they were too solid, too classy, too damn handsome not to share. We know what Velour’s about – the chino, the duffle, the parka – but they do it so well that every new collection is worth a look. Anyway, enough rambling from us, take a look for yourselves.

Who says skinny is over? Screw that. These solid chinos from Velour in grey will work well all summer. No need for the pastels. Stick with the neutrals. Then again, it is a heavyweight twill… maybe too warm for the real heat of August. Great-Divide has them.

More looks after the click.

Yes, it’s more patchwork. This pattern isn’t as obtrusive as most patterns we put up, so some of our more classically styled readers shouldn’t be too put off. In fact, if you put a crewneck over this, there’s a high probability that most folks wouldn’t even see the pattern. It’s basically patchwork for folks who don’t like patchwork. (Tenue De Nimes)

Another day, another first look. This one’s from Velour, a brand we’ve always had a soft spot for. Given our tendency to show the crazy side of fashion, sometimes it’s nice to show something that’s easy, wearable and affordable. All cliches aside, there’s something for everyone in this preview. They even make wearing a three button blazer with all the buttons done up look acceptable.

Take a leap to see a few more looks at the collection.

We’ve always got room for some coloured chinos in our life, they’re of great help when one wants to look suitably snazzy (we’re not giving up on bringing this word back). These ones are by Velour and, although we’re not sure what colour they are, we are sure that they look good. (Opening Ceremony)

In the best possible way, Velour’s Spring/Summer 2011 collection continues where it left off. Wearable basics are their calling card and they continue to deliver on that front, with the usual array of lightweight jackets, shirting with ‘a pop of colour’ (as they say) and spring sweater galore. The additions tend to be far subtler, and in this case it includes granddad collars and pullover shirts, both of which haven’t been used in the collection before.
