Welcome Spring with Cashmere Stripes and Brights from the New N.Peal Collection

It's official: spring has finally bloomed, and at N.Peal we couldn't be more excited to enjoy the bold brights and chic stripes that are the highlights of our new Spring Summer 2016 collection.

Taking cues from the sights and scents of springtime and sunny days, our latest Mongolian cashmere collection introduces several new shades to the N.Peal range, including bold Neon Orange and Parrot Red, crisp Electric Blue and Washed Denim Blue, and fresh Aqua Green. We have also debuted one of our all-time favourite patterns too, classic Breton stripes, offering you a wealth of ways to update your wardrobe for the new season.

Let's take a look at a few of our favourite pieces from the Spring Summer 2016 collection at N.Peal, inspired by springtime itself.

Zesty shades and stripes for spring days

From the moment that spring arrives, everything just seems brighter and more cheerful, just like our N.Peal pieces in bright Neon Orange, Parrot Red and Aqua Green. These shades instantly evoke thoughts of spring blossoms bathed in sunshine, one of the first and most eagerly anticipated sights of the season, making them perfect for freshening up your look.

Our Neon Orange shade looks fabulous on our brand new Superfine Kaftan Cashmere Dress, which can be worn layered over jeans or leggings while the weather is still cooler, and then worn alone with flat sandals on summer evenings. We have also introduced Neon Orange to our range of colours for our best-selling men's Burlington V-Neck 1Ply Cashmere Sweater, so you can enjoy this favourite style in an exciting new shade.

We have added a touch of tropical to our new collection too, with our delightful Parrot Red shade that looks fantastic on another one of our new styles for this season, the Cropped Diagonal Cable Cashmere Cardigan. You can also add a touch of this great new colour to any outfit with our luxuriously soft Ultrafine Pashmina Cashmere Stole in Parrot Red, but we think it will look particularly stylish when teamed with the Milano Breton Cashmere Sweater or striped Milano Cashmere Cardigan for more subtle stripes. A must if you're spending a spring weekend break in Paris!

However, our most vibrant new shade of all is without a doubt Aqua Green, a green hue with a hint of blue that will conjure memories of far-flung poolsides ... or make you look forward to your next visit. The women's Superfine Drape Front Cashmere Cardigan in Aqua Green has been crafted from 100% Mongolian Cashmere and designed to drape beautifully, whether you're layering it over a spring outfit or using it as outwear when the weather becomes warmer. Our Aqua Green colour is also simply elegant in the form of our new Superfine Wrap Cashmere Dress, a flattering and lightweight style that will make every woman look fabulous, whether dressed up for the evening with statement jewellery or worn casually with sandals.

Cool blues to make a spring splash

With thoughts of ocean-side holidays in mind, the N.Peal Spring Summer collection for 2016 includes several new blue shades for both our women's and men's cashmere styles. We're proud to introduce you to Electric Blue and Washed Denim Blue, two new intriguing blue shades to add to our range.

In our men's collection, our classic Knightsbridge Zip Cashmere Sweater has been refreshed in the new Washed Denim Blue colour, as has our signature Chelsea Milano Cashmere Waistcoat, which in this soft yet eye-catching hue, with just the slightest hint of lilac, will look great under a charcoal grey suit.

If you prefer a bolder blue, take a look at our Milano Suede Trim Cashmere Gilet in Electric Blue which is a brand new style to N.Peal as well as a new colour, and is ideal for layering while the weather is still a little cooler. We have also made an update to our casual cashmere range for Spring Summer 2016, with our Hooded Zipped Cashmere Top giving you a new way to wear our 100% Mongolian cashmere every day, but in our new Electric Blue shade it still looks effortlessly smart too.
