Hello, hello, hello, Joanna here from Kings Road, welcoming you to another exciting episode of Style It Live - this post is a replay of our weekly Friday Style It Live Session on Facebook. You can watch the replay on YouTube HERE and join us live every Friday at 5.30pm here In our latest Style It Live, we unveiled the newest SS26 arrivals from Kozan — here’s your curated guide to the collection. LET'S DIVE IN - WATCH OUR LATEST STYLE IT LIVE SESSION HERE Monochrome (But Make It Interesting) Yes, there’s black and white. No, it’s not boring. SS26 is all about texture doing the heavy lifting — mesh overlays, raised spots, jacquards and contrast zips that give depth without shouting. Styling tip:Start with a simple base (a tube dress or matching top and trousers) and add texture on top. Let the fabric be the feature.   Jackets That Know What They’re Doing Kozan jackets deserve a round of applause. Cropped, sculpted, softly structured — they create shape without bulk and somehow manage to make everyone look more pulled-together. Wear them now:– Over fine long-sleeve tees or mesh layers– Left open for an easy, elongating line– Sleeves pushed up for that “effortless” look They’re brilliant for in-between weather and even better for travel.   Soft Neutrals = Quietly Classy Alongside black and white, we’re seeing sand, stone and winter white — soft neutrals that feel fresh and modern. Why they work:They mix beautifully together, elevate simple outfits and are perfect for events when you want to look polished without looking overdressed.     Summer Fabrics That Don’t Panic in the Heat Cotton-hemp blends and gauzy cottons mean this collection is ready for warm weather — whenever it decides to show up. Holiday heroes include:– Sleeveless tunic dresses– Easy trousers with flattering curved hems– Shirt-jackets that double as light layers They’re breathable, pack well and don’t require constant attention. Bliss.   . Accessories That Finish the Job Samuel Coraux jewellery brings personality without overpowering an outfit, while Ilse Jacobsen bags and flip-flops add practicality with style. Top tip:Good accessories should work across seasons. If it looks great now, it should still look great six months from now. SHOP KOZAN  SHOP SAMUEL CORAUX  SHOP ILSE JACOBSEN   Final Word: Why We Love Kozan Once you find a Kozan shape that works for you, you’re sorted.

Hello, hello, hello, Joanna here from Kings Road, welcoming you to another exciting episode of Style It Live - this post is a replay of our weekly Friday Style It Live Session on Facebook. You can watch the replay on YouTube HERE and join us live every Friday at 5.30pm here   If you’ve ever wondered why certain brands keep appearing on our rails season after season, the answer is simple: they work. They feel good, they wear well, and they quietly earn their place in your wardrobe rather than shouting for attention. In our latest Style It Live, we took a moment to chat about some of our long-standing Kings Road favourites, a few newer loves, and a very exciting sustainable newcomer. Grab a cuppa — here’s the lowdown. LET'S DIVE IN - WATCH OUR LATEST STYLE IT LIVE SESSION HERE   Mama B – The “Once You Try It, You’re Hooked” Brand Mama B is one of those brands that doesn’t need much introduction — and once you’ve worn it, there’s no going back. Designed by a husband-and-wife team in Italy, Mama B is all about soft shapes, clever cuts, and fabrics that feel like a hug. Everything is made with comfort in mind, but without ever losing its style credentials. Natural cottons, linens, jerseys and fleece come together in relaxed silhouettes that somehow manage to be flattering, modern and timeless all at once. Why we love it: Clothes that move with you (not against you) Easy to mix, match and layer year after year A true slow-fashion hero   Bize – Classic… But Make It Interesting Bize is one of our newer additions, but it’s already making itself very much at home. Think classic shapes with a twist — a beautiful sleeve detail here, an unexpected angle there — the sort of pieces people stop you to ask about. It’s relaxed but refined, and it plays very nicely with the rest of your wardrobe (and our rails). Why we love it: Understated with personality Effortlessly chic Great for everyday, but never boring   Lurdes Bergada – Shape, Drama & Confidence Lurdes Bergada is for those days when you want your clothes to do a little talking for you. Architectural shapes, soft tailoring and asymmetry create pieces that feel bold but incredibly wearable. These are outfits that look styled even when you haven’t tried very hard — which, let’s be honest, is always a win.     Jane Lushka – Sleek, Smart, Zero Fuss Jane Lushka is our go-to for modern, clean-lined dressing. Easy-care fabrics, flattering cuts and versatile designs make this brand perfect for women who want to look polished without spending all morning thinking about it. Smart enough for work, relaxed enough for everyday — we love a multitasker.   Sustainability We Actually Believe In Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword for us — it’s something we genuinely care about. That’s why we’re drawn to brands like: Bibico, with its ethical production and timeless design Rainkiss, bringing joy (and sustainability) to rainy days Thoughtful fashion, made to last, always wins. SHOP ALL SALE   Final Word At Kings Road Fashions, we choose brands with heart, humour and longevity. Clothes you’ll reach for again and again, pieces that earn their keep, and designers who care about how things are made. If you’d like to see any of these brands in person, pop in and say hello — or get in touch and we’ll happily talk you through sizing, styling, and all the little details that make the difference.

Hello, hello, hello, Joanna here from Kings Road, welcoming you to another exciting episode of Style It Live - this post is a replay of our weekly Friday Style It Live Session on Facebook. You can watch the replay on YouTube HERE and join us live every Friday at 5.30pm here Spring may not have fully arrived outside just yet, but inside Kings Road Fashions it’s already in full swing — and honestly, that’s half the battle. This week’s new arrivals are all about wear-it-now pieces: clothes that work today with layers and boots, and glide seamlessly into lighter days ahead. No waiting required. LET'S DIVE IN - WATCH OUR LATEST STYLE IT LIVE SESSION HERE   Start From the Ground Up: Re-Introducing Ilse Jacobsen Footwear Let’s talk shoes. Soft, flexible, bouncy-underfoot shoes are having a moment — and for good reason. They’re the kind you put on and instantly feel like your day is going better. Comfortable, lightweight, and perfect with cropped denim or relaxed trousers, they’re ideal for walking, travelling, or just generally striding about feeling smug. (That’s your pep in your step, right there.)    SHOP ILSE JACOBSEN    Denim Is Your Spring MVP (Most Valuable Player) A great pair of soft, wearable denim is the backbone of transitional dressing. Cropped or straight-leg styles work beautifully now with knits and jackets, then later with shirts and tees. Add a belt, roll the cuff, done. SHOP DENIM   Blouses, Shirts & Easy Layers Spring is all about light cotton blouses, subtle embroidery, relaxed shirts, and knits that don’t overwhelm. Style tip: Roll sleeves and push them up Layer tanks or knits over shirts for shape Open collars slightly for that effortless feel It’s all about relaxed polish. SHOP TOPS & BLOUSES     Jackets That Do the Heavy Lifting A soft cotton jacket, lightweight knit-jacket, or easy rain layer will carry you through unpredictable weather without killing the vibe. Look for movement in the fabric — if it swishes when you walk, you’re winning. SHOP JACKETS   Colour Without Commitment Not ready for full-on brights? Start small. Scarves, tees, or soft coral and pink tones layered with denim and navy instantly lift your look without shouting about it. SHOP ALL NEW ARRIVALS    Final Word These are the pieces you’ll reach for again and again — easy, versatile, flattering, and designed to make getting dressed feel fun. If your wardrobe’s been feeling a bit winter-weary, this is your sign. Pop in-store, try things on, have a play — and leave with a spring in your stride.Kings  With love,Kings Road Fashions   Stay Connected:Follow Kings Road Fashions on Instagram and Facebook for daily boutique style inspiration and join us for Style It Live sessions on Facebook, every Friday 5.30pm. 💌 Sign up to our newsletter for exclusive previews + 10% off your first order ••• FACEBOOK INSTAGRAM YOUTUBE   Our Boutique: Leighton Buzzard Boutique 7 Peacock Mews Leighton Buzzard LU7 1JH Hours: Tue -Sat: 9.30am - 5.00pm Sun - Mon: Closed Telephone: 01525 376788
