Victoria Beckham’s sporty-luxe spring ’14 collection is dominated by warm-up jackets, flirty, asymmetric-hem pleated skirts and crisp, Wimbledon Whites – felt like a canny tribute to this week’s U.S Open finale. Drop-dead sexy and equal parts sporty, it’s not often that a collection makes us want to practice our backhand and hit the bar.
But here, the only story isn’t the on-court esprit. Victoria Beckham continues to explore masculine tailoring and volume in a way that feels completely modern and smart, after moving away from the body-con silhouette that dominated her first few collections. Think easy walking shorts, half-sleeve cocoon coats and prim shirts with geometric mesh insets in a clean, restrained palette of white and black with the tiniest flashes of oxblood, slate and fuchsia.
To a new kind of spring dressing that’s equal parts ease and elegance, it all adds up. The new city suit, we’re calling it. And we can call one more thing: This will be a huge hit for those uptown ladies who lunch tweeds.
