Noose & Monkey returns with its seventh collection, full of fine fabrics and colours that look good enough to eat, it promises to be the biggest, boldest collection to date. Whether it’s your wedding, birthday night out, the biggest cocktail party of the Summer or the end of year school prom, there is something for every occasion and every piece a head turner.

From vibrantly coloured 2 piece suits to crocodile and snake skin blazer designs, velvet is a huge story for Spring/Summer 2017. Already fitting to be one of the season’s best sellers is the ‘Pollock’ velvets. Available as standalone blazers or paired up with matching trousers in 4 different colourways; burgundy, pink, ice blue and duck egg. They feature a shawl lapel and super soft velvet exterior - an eveningwear essential.

SS17 has also seen the introduction of another new style – the Picasso tail coat with all-over velvet flocking design. A classic style with a modern twist. Wedding-wear sorted! Two new tuxedos will be attending all the big events this season; the ‘Titian’ burgundy, textured 3piece and for a crisp, clean summer cut, the ‘Rothco’, an all-white 2-piece tuxedo (both featuring a notch lapel with sateen detailing). Either style ensures you are red carpet ready for any event.

Noose & Monkey’s staple suits are back with a burst of colour this summer season; bright pink, wine & pistachio amongst many other colours of the 3 piece Ellroy (featuring the signature horseshoe waistcoat) will be released throughout the season. The bestselling ‘Ginsberg’ tartan suit has also had a New Year makeover; renamed the ‘Hogarth’ and released in a brand-new burgundy/navy colourway (an early season release), it has all but sold out online. Along with the continued classic green/navy tartan, there will be restocks - by popular demand.

The newness doesn’t stop there, new shirts and detailed accessories will be arriving throughout spring, adding the finishing touches to any outfit in need. Following the success of the leather and bomber jackets of AW15, Noose & Monkey are revisiting casualwear for SS17. 3 all-new versatile velvet bombers will be landing this season too. The ‘Monet’ gold, crushed velvet jacket is a sure-fire party piece. Styled down with a t shirt and black jeans or paired up with matching velvet suit-joggers.

Along with their signature moody burgundy and black flocking print, the bombers are already causing a storm online. They’re not to be missed! As well as the growing online store nooseandmonkey.com, the brand is also proudly stocked online and across the globe in ASOS, Zalando and De Bijenkorf, as well as Topman online and in store in Oxford Circus, London and selected stores across the states.
