We have already had an early taste of warm, spring weather and now April has brought us its customary showers. Sit back and browse our new collection for summer and really look forward to those long, relaxed days later in the season.

The theme for our latest collection is 'easy summer dressing'. We have chosen beautiful, uplifting tropical shades in both warm and cool tones and our prints range from bold botanical designs to pretty, ditsy floral. With its soft, relaxed feel the new range is brimming with elegant, carefree styles in cool cotton jersey, modal, textured cotton blends and silky, soft Pima.

In order to deal with anything the British summer can provide, there are plenty of layering options, with lightweight summer jackets, a sporty gilet, cardigans and tunics. New, for this season we have designed a stunning kaftan that offers the ideal cover-up, either for by the pool or with our summer trousers over a jersey vest or top.

Please choose from our carefully selected accessories to complete your perfect summer outfits.

Here's hoping for a great summer.

As the days are now getting a little longer, we look forward to the warmer days the new season brings. Always taking into account how changeable our weather can be at this time of year, we have worked hard to put this latest collection together, covering all options and occasions.

There are plenty of layering options in many new styles ranging from smart , gently tailored jackets, stunning textured knitwear pieces through to warm quilted or microfibre outerwear to ward of cool spring breezes.

We have extended our range of dresses, skirts, trousers and shoes with the emphasis on fine quality natural fibres, together with easycare linen-like and crinkle textures, providing you with a comprehensive collection to see you through this new season with ease.

Lastly, our beautiful and exclusive accessories have been carefully chosen to enhance and complement all of our outfits.

We welcome any feedback you may have on our latest collection, so please send us your comments.

We hope you like our first collection for the new season. We have designed it with many options for you to wear now.

With warm knitwear pieces, plenty of layering styles and our two new outerwear jackets we offer a versatile basis for you to build upon as the new season unfolds.

Our smart outerwear jackets are both shower resistant , one in a classic microfibre style and, a new for us, a contemporary quilted design. Wear with our showerproof wax hat that has a warm fleece lining for those blustery spring days.

Also, new this season, we introduce our longer-line knitted dressing in pure merino wool. The dress is in a lovely, flattering shape and can be worn on it's own or with the long waistcoat. For an alternative look you can team up our waistcoat with smart trousers and a blouse.

Another new style for us is our pure silk tunic in an Italian paisley print with soft, pintuck detail at the front. This can be worn open or closed and looks particularly stylish with the classic plain trousers. The blouse also comes with a matching scarf.

It seems amazing to think that Christmas is just around the corner.  No sooner have we dealt with an Indian summer than its time to start thinking about our Christmas plans. 

Whilst Christmas is a very special time, it can be a busier period.  There are presents to buy, cards to send to old friends we do not see as often as we would like and then there are plans to make for the festive period itself.   We also need to spend a little time on ourselves.  We all want to feel a little special over the Christmas period and it is a time that can make extra demands on our wardrobes.

In designing this year's Christmas collection, we have worked hard to make sure you can feel smart and elegant throughout the period no matter what the occasion.  Whether it is times spent with family and friends, wrapped up warm on a winter walk or special evenings out.

We have chosen some wonderfully rich colours for this collection very much in tune with the themes for the season, including rich berry colours, soft teals and blacks with soft highlights of silver.

We have also included a wonderful mix of fabrics with soft sumptuous velvet devore, stunning tweed interspersed with a dark sparkly yarn and some lovely natural heritage fabrics and yarns.

We are very pleased with our growing accessories range which this season includes freshwater pearls, crystal beads and gold leaf necklaces, just to add that extra touch of sparkle to any occasion.  There is also a range of lustrous silk scarves and fabulous knitted accessories.   The Nottingham lace scarf manufactured in Britain on traditional knitting machines is a particular favourite of mine.

You also might like to take a look at our leather handbags and Italian made boots – our boots deliver that marvellous combination of both style and, most importantly, comfort!

As always our outfits and designs are exclusive to Cotswold Collections, so you can feel special no matter what the occasion this Christmas.

Wrap up in sumptuous angora, mohair, faux fur and cashmere and be warm this winter with Cotswold Collections. We have beautifully styled jackets and coats in stunning textures and tweeds. Complete your outfit by adding one of our soft, warm wraps or elegant silk scarves.

Look out for our new, long length boots which will add a new dimension to many of our outfits and complement them with smart leather gloves and handbags.
