Les 100 Ciels Blog

Menswear is constantly informing the way we wear our clothes, more so now than ever before.  Who doesn’t love a comfy boyfriend jumper! We recently went to London Men’s Collections and could see womenswear influencing the designs too. Most women have flirted with the idea of menswear, as Vogue says: ‘Katharine Hepburn wore Brooks Brothers shirts bought from a secret girls-only counter at the back of the New York store, Marlene Dietrich worked the tux with unrivalled command, while Doris Day cavorted in her lover’s oversized shirts’. Here is our City Edit, which borrows styling from the boys and paired with our more structured pieces like Harper. This look is great for work wear and cosmopolitan living!         

Our pick of the week is BELL 100% Cashmere jumper. We love this piece as it’s chunky, ribbed yarn keeps us super warm in these winter months! Worn here with our matching BELLNECK, and for a little present from us to you, it’s now £195, down from £279. Get yours here!     

Banish your winter blues with a dose of 100 Ciels Cashmere! Yes, we are all getting the sniffles and yes, we are bringing our hot water bottles to work , but winter is also a time to celebrate! The cold weather means that we can layer up with plenty of cosy cashmere, which is enough to brighten us all up! Below is a selection of our pieces which take on a cool colour palette for inspiration in the colder weather.

A post is long due about our little Winter break to Devon! It was so lovely getting away from the hussle and bussle of London life and relaxing with good company, a Labrador, a roaring fire, (a lot of) good food and long blustery walks. We kept warm on the beach with our Ovecar Cashmere Cardigan, layered over our Promduti Roll Neck for extra comfort and snuggled up on the sofa in front of the fire with our Cherie Throw in Camel. Breakfast in bed was made perfect with our Cherie keeping us cosy! Top to toe cashmere! Double up with Ovecar or Juliet with our Esprit joggers.

The list of things to do in London is endless, however we scoured the events planner for all things dance and chosen our Top 5 for you to enjoy… 1)  Billy Elliot The Musical Currently showing at Victoria Palace Theater and booking until December! Billy Elliot has been dazzling London’s West End since 2005. Set in a mining town in the north of England during the 1984/’85 miners’ strike, Billy Elliot is the inspirational story of a young boy’s struggle against the odds to make his dream of becoming a dancer, not a boxer, come true. 2 ) ‘Little Havana’ at Floridita Whether you just want to have a drink and enjoy the music, or get on the dance floor Floridita is a fun evening out. The Les 100 Ciels team went here to celebrate  a birthday a few weeks ago and the atmosphere was fantastic, we were clapping away and dancing in our seats whilst having dinner. The dance floor was full to the brim and a little intimidating to those of us who have never danced salsa but  don’t let this deter you.  It was a welcoming environment and you could tell everyone was there for a good dance. ...
