WHISTLES PRE-FALL COLLECTION 2012

Attention all Whistles shoppers, the super-chic high street brand have just realised their pre-fall lookbook; and there's so much to covet in the forthcoming collection. I have to admit I'm a self-confessed lookbook junkie (I like to collect them, judge me if you will) and I can never bring myself to throw away the pitch perfect  past-season Whistles lookbooks.

So, what can we expect from Whistles pre-fall? Well sportswear shapes are still a key trend, with athletics-inspired piping and waistbands appearing on skirts and pants. Leather features as a key fabric, toughening up basic tees, baseball jackets, SS's peplums and flirty skater skirts. Whistles are known for their unique signature prints, and pre-fall's is described as 'micro patterning', pepping up shifts, shirts and pjama pants. Grey, forest green and black are accented with mint green in a uber-cool and modern colour palette.

My favourite pieces? The leather panelled t-shirt and pencil skirt hit my sartorial spot 100%; the sporty, clean and minimalistic styling feels fresh and will surely be a welcome relief after a print-mad SS. Whistles fans should keep an eye out for my blog next week when I will be attending the AW12 press day, if pre-fall is anything to go by it looks set to be another style success.
