Spring 2008

The start of a new year brings the promise of a new wardrobe. While the late winter shoppers gather treasures of the past season, the savvy are calling on their wardrobe consultants to put some colour and pizzazz back into their wardrobe.

This is the time of the year when we all look forward to putting fun and exciting colour back into our wardrobes. White or cream tailored trousers in linen or tropical weight worsteds, worn with a bright jacket, look professional, feminine and eye catching amongst a sea of navy and gray. Wear a pink or pale yellow shirt with your favorite casual slacks or jeans to complement a fun weekend getaway.

Shirts

Wearing tailored shirts is one of the most flattering looks for women!  Your days of safety pins and billowing shirtwaists are over.  We can take all of the necessary measurements to provide the most accurate fit and perfectly tailored shirt made just for you.

Tailored shirts are great transition pieces from the colder months early in the season to the hot summer days later on.  This season shows a wide array of stripes, colour, and optical prints in luxurious cottons. 

When the temperatures start to climb, relax your shirts by opting for the ¾” length or short sleeve look, teamed with a figure enhancing belt, in lieu of a jacket or sweater.  This can take you effortlessly into the evening by adding some jewelry and a great pair of boots for after-work soirées with friends.

Knits

Tom James offers the opportunity to complete your office wardrobe for spring with our collection of knits and twin-sets, offered in colour to tempt even the most adventurous. These are an essential alternative to a shirt, worn underneath your jacket or as the main event.

Suits

There is no substitute for a tailored suit in lightweight, worsted wools.  Tom James has an unparalleled selection of staples in all shades of navy, black and gray from solid silhouettes to striking stripes.  If you are feeling more daring, add a lime, fuchsia or coral shirt to your black or navy suit instead of white or blue.

All of these pieces can give you extra value, as you wear your tailored blouses with jeans and a belt for a great chic weekend look.  Choose a linen blouse for day-drives in the convertible but bring a cardigan to wear over your dress for cooler summer nights. 

Why not infuse some new life into your wardrobe this spring and enjoy your new attitude!
