Here’s what’s about to drop at Penney’s for SS16

The first womenswear collection of 2016 is about to drop at Penneys, inspired by the natural, lived-in confidence of 70s West Coast American youth. There are plenty of saturated primary colours, all toned down with grey marl, while vintage style, crew neck tees emblazoned with cheeky slogans bring us back to a happy-go-lucky time. The free-spirited 70’s mood continues throughout and denim is in abundance, as are gigantic statement sunnies (ideal for hiding eye-bags and hangovers) and oversized gold hoop earrings. Here's a quick guide to the collections: Laundered and Humble is all about pared back style. Dress €20, Hat €5 Denim in all shades, tan leatherette espadrilles and denim bucket hats hint at lazy lounging yacht-filled days. Dress €15, Sandals €13, Penneys The chevron mini, stripe shirt dress and pinstripe pinafores are all boundary pushing, standout pieces for the trend. Sheer Romance is a breezy bohemian daywear range with a gentle, whimsical feel.
