ave you noticed that many high street fashion brands are on a drive towards sustainability? Levi’s use responsible methods of production and design, such as The Better Cotton Initiative and techniques that use less water in denim finishing than traditional ways. If you always wear jeans, however, how about trying on a pair of their corduroy (yes!) pants? British brand Joules Hollister embroidered is also shouting about its environmental logo baseball responsibility, committed to sourcing hat, £17 more sustainable cotton, recycling pre-loved clothing and helping plant trees – even more reason to purchase their graphic T-shirts with prints hand drawn in-house.

LIFE ON THE COAST Take a peek at Joanna Wills’ outdoorsy Devon life on her Instagram, Riviera Mummy (@joannawills) “Spring is finally here! I started 2020 with a plan for the year – to shop more mindfully and buy better. The idea of a capsule wardrobe is something that really appeals to me – to invest in timeless pieces, that will take me from now, through summer and into autumn.

These key pieces will mix and match and most importantly last. They will be a reflection of growing trends, but also the biggest growing trend of 2020 – timeless, long-lasting classics for your wardrobe. This spring you’ll see me wearing a style similar to this; a vibrant jacket and stripy top, both from Joules in Princesshay.” Joanna.

For a fantastic in-store experience and superb customer service, head to Moss Bros. where staff will help you find a perfectly fitting suit. The Tailor Me suit personalisation service allows you to design the suit you’ve always wanted, from fabric to fit. Call 01392 270520 to make an appointment. While you’re in store, check out the Moss Bros. eco suit (pictured below)? It’s £169, and made using up to 45 recycled bottles.

Joanna, and other local bloggers, will be sharing their love for Princesshay at princesshay.co.uk/blog
