Meet Smith & Soul: Our New AW26 Favourite

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 Well, hello! After a couple of weeks away, we thought it was probably time to remind everyone that Kings Road Fashions still exists! So, instead of our usual Friday evening Style It Live, we went rogue and brought you a Tuesday lunchtime edition: outside the shop, in the sunshine and surrounded by plants, deliveries and the occasional flying insect. Very glamorous! WATCH THE VIDEO HERE   With the heatwave still firmly in charge, we’re concentrating on what you actually want to wear right now. Think cool cottons and linens, easy dresses, shorts, colourful tops, skirts and fabulous little co-ords. There are also plenty of brilliant sale bargains, with tops from £15, shirts around £23.50, shorts from £30 and white jeans from just £35. If you love a good bargain, there are plenty of treasures still to be found.   We’ve also been looking ahead to that slightly awkward time of year when it’s hot during the day but suddenly chilly at 7pm. Our answer? Lightweight layers. Linen trousers, textured shirts, light knits, denim-look trousers and easy jackets are all perfect for bridging the seasons without committing to a jumper just yet.       And yes, we did talk about autumn... because while we’re currently melting, we know it’s coming! There are already some lovely pieces that will take you into the next season, including shirts, lightweight jackets and knitwear. We’ve even got some gorgeous waterproof raincoats in the sale, because surely one day we’ll actually need them again!   As always, the fun of Style It Live is putting pieces together and showing you how you can mix and match your wardrobe. A skirt with a simple tee, linen trousers with a colourful shirt, a co-ord worn together or separately:  there are lots of ways to make your existing wardrobe work harder. And if you’re not local, we can even create a personalised mini video for you, showing different styles, colours and fits in your size.        Final Thought One final reminder: we’re moving more of our messages over to WhatsApp, where it’s much easier for us to keep everything together. Save 07915 979 866 to your phone and send us a message if you’d like us to check a size, find a particular item or make you a little personalised styling video. We’re back, we’ve missed you, and yes, we’re still slightly crazy!

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 Every season brings exciting new arrivals, fresh colours and tempting trends. But here's something we've noticed over the years at Kings Road Fashions... There are certain brands that simply never let us down. They're the ones our customers ask for by name. The pieces that disappear almost as quickly as they arrive. The styles that become wardrobe favourites rather than passing fancies. During this week's Style It Live, we took a closer look at some of those dependable stars—and a few hidden gems that perhaps deserve a little more attention. But first... WATCH THE VIDEO HERE   Mama B – The Masters of Effortless Style If there's one thing Mama B understands, it's flattering silhouettes. Season after season, their dresses create beautiful shape without clinging where you don't want them to. Soft cocoon skirts, clever tailoring and wonderfully comfortable fabrics make them an easy choice for women who want style without fuss. The same applies to their famous stretch linen trousers and beautifully cut layering pieces. They're clothes you'll reach for time and time again, and wonder how you ever managed without them. Blueberry - Linen Done Beautifully If one brand has quietly stolen the show this season, it's Blueberry. Beautiful linen dresses, relaxed shirts and easy-to-wear separates have proved that linen doesn't have to feel complicated. Their prints bring freshness, their tailoring creates flattering shape and every piece feels effortlessly wearable. No wonder they've been among our standout collections this summer.       Masai - Everyday Luxury When customers ask us for trousers they'll wear again and again, Masai is always high on the list. Their signature linen trousers continue to earn loyal fans thanks to their flattering cuts, comfortable waists and thoughtful details. This season, though, their lightweight denim also became an unexpected bestseller, proving that Masai isn't just about linen. And don't even get us started on their knitwear... Those beautifully soft short-sleeved knits are already giving us a little glimpse of next season.     Red Button - More Than Brilliant Trousers Yes, Red Button make fabulous trousers. We all know that. Whether it's their dependable Colette fit, crisp white linen styles or beautifully cut denim, they have an uncanny knack for creating trousers that simply fit. But don't stop there. Their lightweight jackets and tops deserve just as much attention, making them ideal finishing pieces for everyday wardrobes.       Final Thought It's Often the "Overlooked" Pieces That Become the Favourites One of the biggest talking points during our live was how many garments simply don't reveal their magic until you try them on. That mesh layering top. The softly elasticated blouse. The lightweight jacket you think you'll only wear occasionally... Until suddenly you're reaching for it every single week. Sometimes the quietest pieces become the hardest-working members of your wardrobe. Fashion Should Be Fun At Kings Road Fashions, we don't just choose collections because they're fashionable. We choose them because they work. Because they flatter. Because they're beautifully made. Because our customers come back asking for them again and again. And because we genuinely love helping you discover the pieces you might otherwise walk straight past. With plenty of laughter, a little styling inspiration and—if you've watched Style It Live—you'll know there's usually a discussion about biscuits somewhere along the way. That's exactly how we think fashion should be. Relaxed. Enjoyable. And full of wonderful discoveries.

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 been following us for a while, you’ll know we love a good excuse to celebrate beautiful clothes — and our Summer Sale is one of our favourite times of the year. Why? Because it’s the perfect moment to discover those special pieces that might normally sit just outside your everyday shopping list. A beautiful linen jacket, a statement blouse, a designer knit or a timeless dress suddenly becomes much more tempting when it comes with a fabulous saving. And the best part? The pieces we love most aren’t the ones we wear once and forget about. They’re the wardrobe heroes we return to season after season. But first... WATCH THE VIDEO HERE Why Sale Shopping Is the Perfect Time to Invest A sale isn’t just about finding the cheapest item. It’s about finding value. This is the time to look for quality fabrics, beautiful cuts and pieces that will work hard in your wardrobe. Think: A beautifully made jacket you can throw over almost anything A linen shirt that works with jeans, trousers or skirts A dress that can be dressed up or down A pair of perfectly fitting trousers that make getting dressed effortless These are the pieces that earn their place in your wardrobe. 2. The Power of Natural Fabrics This summer, we have fallen in love all over again with natural fabrics. Linen, cotton and lightweight knits are perfect for warmer days because they allow your skin to breathe while still looking polished. The secret to making summer dressing easy is choosing fabrics that do the work for you. A beautifully cut linen shirt instantly elevates denim. A soft cotton dress can take you from a relaxed lunch to an evening out with just a change of accessories.       3. Styling Tip: Mix Smart with Casual One of our favourite ways to create an effortless outfit is mixing different styles. A structured blouse with relaxed denim. A beautiful jacket with a simple T-shirt. A statement top with easy trousers. It’s that contrast that makes an outfit feel modern rather than overly “done”.         Denim: Your Summer Sale Secret Weapon Many people think of denim as a colder-weather staple, but we disagree. A relaxed pair of jeans, especially a wider-leg or barrel-leg style, can be surprisingly comfortable in summer. The key is choosing the right fit - something that allows movement and feels effortless. Pair denim with: Lightweight cotton shirts Linen tops Relaxed jackets Pretty sandals or trainers It creates that perfect “I just threw this on” look.   Don’t Forget Transitional Pieces The cleverest sale purchases are often the pieces that work beyond one season. A lightweight jacket, a soft knit or a beautiful shirt can become your autumn favourites when styled with layers. Look for colours that mix easily: Navy Cream Black Soft neutrals Classic denim tones These shades never go out of fashion and will work with pieces you already own. Final Thought Our Favourite Sale Shopping Rule Buy something because you love it, not just because it’s reduced. The best bargains are the pieces you can imagine wearing again and again. That beautiful blouse you keep thinking about? The jacket you keep going back to? The dress that makes you smile when you put it on? Those are the pieces worth investing in. So whether you’re shopping online or visiting us in store, we hope you enjoy exploring our Summer Sale. Come and have a browse, try something new and let us help you find something that makes you feel fabulous. Because great style should always feel good.
