The store sells everything from Burberry to Mint Velvet to Mango (the list goes on and on) and then there’s the distillation of everything out there edited for the John Lewis customer in three ranges: John Lewis Collection, Anyday and And/Or.
The And/Or soft brown suede jacket (£249), another strong trend for Spring, ticks the John Lewis promise - to be collectable and last year to year - although it is pricey.
Capes are a big trend for Spring and the trench coat is still going strong, so no surprise JL has come up with a light design with a detachable short cape.
John Lewis prides itself on colour and it’s nailed this season’s soft pink - a more flattering alternative to white and as easy to mix in.
This version (£59) buttons up the front to give it a smarter edge; add white barrel jeans (£69) and you have a bulls-eye Spring look.
