Planet launches SS10 collection
Bright, bold colours bring to life Planet’s famous tailoring this season, and waterfall front jackets and tapered harem trousers give the traditional suit some edge.
Crushed silk and cotton fabrics add a luxurious quality to office wear, and the single-breasted long-lapel jacket is sleek and bang on trend. A leather pencil skirt and waistcoat jumpsuit offer instant glamour and style whilst ticking all the requirements of work wear, and of course building on Planet’s sterling heritage in this field.
Knitwear is also key, with broad bands of primary colours brightening up the winter wardrobe this spring, and the batwing sleeve giving knitwear a contemporary slant. Lurex and beaded detail add a touch of shimmer to striped knits, which feature heavily across the collection in a variety of band widths and colours ranging from bright sunflower yellow to tonal hues of dusky pink and turquoise.
Tunic dresses and tops with striking prints and bright colours run throughout the range, with oversized butterfly and snakeskin print as well as appliqué sequins adorning flattering cuts. Elsewhere in the collection, electric blues inject a cool splash of style into summer; coordinating pieces include a stunning cornflower blue satin cap-sleeved pencil dress with matching corsage and clutch.
Lightweight coats and jackets will carry wearers into spring in style and comfort, and the belted mac stands out in cornflower blue or a smart black and white grid pattern. Jersey dresses are in season too, providing a softer, warmer touch for the chillier spring months before giving way to airy chiffon and silk maxi dresses for high summer.
For a special occasion, day at the races, or chic summer wedding outfit, look no further than Planet’s beautiful range of dresses with complimentary jewellery and accessories. Both full length and shorter dresses are created in luxurious fabrics and tailored to turn heads and fit and flatter any figure. Whether it be with a stunning full length technicolour maxi dress and matching chiffon scarf or a sequin embellished minidress and dress coat, Planet has this summer’s occasions covered.
For the first time, Planet has designed a range of beach and swim wear, with colours and designs including fuchsia pink and orange, swirled aquamarine hues, and chocolate animal print. Quality of design and manufacture is apparent, as each garment is lined, complete with invisible support. Stylish eyewear, kaftans, and a roomy slouch leather holdall lend the finishing touches for an essential summer wardrobe from Planet this SS10.
Planet offers sophisticated fashion for the modern professional woman in sizes 6 through to 20 and is available in department stores across the UK and Ireland and online at planet.co.uk.
