High street fashion retailer H&M has announced a collaboration with the heritage label Pringle of Scotland on a line of traditional knitwear which has been given a sporty spin. Developed by H&M’s in-house design team alongside Pringle of Scotland’s creative studio, the Pringle of Scotland x H&M collection will be available worldwide and online at hm.com from 3rd October. Pringle of Scotland’s heritage highland argyles and jacquards fill the collection, with a subtle twist. Key pieces include a sweater which boasts a patchwork of tone and texture, combining a retro-inspired diamond pattern with heavy ribbed wool, as well as a cropped, funnel-necked jumper with balloon sleeves. Traditional yarns are infused with attitude in a series of generously oversized, raw-edged sweaters. Sweater dresses with ring-pull zip closures, cosy hoodies, leggings and slouchy hats and scarves are all printed with athletic logos for an athleisure take. The revitalising colour palette plays into that sense of ease: an autumnal mix of classic mustard, dove grey and biscuit brown is shot through with unexpected flashes of acid yellow. The collection makes clever use of recycled polyester and organic cotton along with cosy wool and smooth viscose fibres. In a playful touch for dog-lovers, the collection also includes dog sweaters in matching prints and colours.
