New Jerseys

Space is one of those "hit or miss" brands. Unfortunately, they've been "missing" the past years. I've noticed that whenever they had interesting designs, the fabric would be dowdy or unappealing. Whenever the fabric was nice, the design would be negligible. Because of this, their store isn't really on the agenda whenever I drop by Robinsons.

Lo and behold, they have a semblance of a hit this time. It came in the form of a couple of jersey tops that caught my eye as I passed by.



It's hard to go wrong with cotton jersey - it's t-shirt material for crying out loud. What's nice about their collection, as well as this selection, are the little details that make each piece interesting.

Take for instance this blue tunic. The sleeves are extended, and that fabric connects to the hem.



That construction creates this "fin" effect and it looks like there's a vest on top of the tunic.



This brown top looks shapeless and boxy on the hanger. But after seeing it on a mannequin, it changed my point of view. It has this dolman/batwing sleeve thing going on, and the armholes are exaggerated.



Look at it from behind and you'll see an overlapping drape that gives it an interesting shape. After examining the piece, I realized that modest people should wear it with a bandeau, lest exposure is your aim.



The 3rd piece rides on the zipper trend and does it nicely. They're positioned in such a way that it still looks current even if the trend exits the fashion world.



Finally, this simple jersey t-shirt which has very detailed sleeves. The fabric is gathered, creating a bubble effect. But it doesn't stop there.



There's a knot on the sleeve and there are two armholes. I'm not sure if it's designed to be worn two ways, but in any case, any way would be interesting.



While each one had attractive details, the more attractive part of the garment is that it's on sale. This weekend is the Robinson's Grand Markdown Sale (free plug!) and that instantly slashes 50% off the price. Now who wouldn't grab the opportunity to grab these cool clothes made of jersey.
