As we step into autumn, we’re delighted to welcome another big name to the Damart family. Regatta. Known for durable and reliable outdoor clothing, Regatta is launching waterproof jackets for men and ladies, alongside super cosy fleeces, with us. So go and check them out on our website…after you’ve read our fab blog, of course.
Here’s a little history before we get going.
Regatta was founded in the 70’s by the visionary Lionel Black, who saw a need for high-quality, yet affordable outdoor clothing. His son, joined the company in 1981, followed by his daughter. After winning the iconic ‘WHICH?’ magazine award in 1987 for the Best Waterproof Jacket the Regatta brand really took off.
The first Regatta addition we’d love to show you is the extra fluffy Regatta Zelpha Hooded Ladies Borg fleece. Brilliant indoors or out, for crisp autumn walks, it’s so versatile. Thanks to its two-tone fluffy fleece, drop shoulder cut for an on-trend look and handy pockets, it’s a really useful wardrobe staple.
Team it with our pretty Lace Trim Camisole. Thermal for extra warmth, the ribbed style and Skin Soft fabric is lovely to wear and we love the lace trim at the neck and hem line. Perfect to pop under cardis as a top, or under jumpers and dresses as an extra toasty layer.
Lighter layers for changeable weather
If you love being outdoors, this Reversible Gilet is a great way to add an extra layer without the bulk of a full jacket. Made in two colours of navy or lilac, it offers two looks in one, with the navy option being quilted in a pattern and the lilac, quilted in full length baffles. Seamed in a flattering fit it’s ideal for autumnal warmth.
Pair it with our classic Striped Boat Neck Cotton Top for a casual look that’s always on trend. The lighter layer that’s just right for comfort, made in breathable pure cotton jersey, with three quarter sleeves. You’ll reach for this one again and again.
Waterproof and totally warm – the best combination
Autumn is a beautiful time of year. Vibrant leaves, crisp fresh mornings and blues skies… or maybe not so blue. But when the clouds do come, you couldn’t be more prepared than with our Regatta Men’s Lyle IV Waterproof Packaway Jacket. Breathable for comfort, it has a hood for extra weather protection and is a great colour, plus, it folds neatly away when the sun shines again. What more could you ask for in a coat or jacket?
How about a great base layer to keep you toasty too? Our Thermal Soft Warmth Short Sleeved T-Shirt does the trick. Looking like an ordinary v-neck T-shirt its secret is the surprisingly soft, thermal fabric. Great under sweatshirts and jumpers, or worn on its own as a tee, it’s a handy piece to have.
Beat the weather at its own game
We love the lighter layers that still keep us cosy but are easier to wear. One of our favourites is our warm Quilted High Neck Parka. With light quilting in a wearable shade of blue, it’s a good jacket choice. You can make it feel more summery by zipping off the hood on warmer days. Spot on for weekend walks or weekday style, it’s a keeper for us!
For an extra toasty light layer, this Thermal Soft Warmth Vest Top is as pretty as they come. Lace trim is a feminine touch and you can take your pick from 5 colours in a great fitting style. And did we mention ‘soft warmth’ is the level of warmth? It’s a lighter heat, perfect to ‘take the chill off an autumnal morning’. Another top pick!
A sporty look for inside or out
Cooler days need a fleece that’s up to the job and this ticks a lot of boxes. The Regatta Mayse Full Zip Ladies Fleece is shaped to fit and made from peached back marl fabric for a lovely soft touch. Wear it out and about as a top layer or pop under a jacket on even chillier days. Two side pockets add to the ease wearing style.
The perfect underlayer for the Regatta Fleece is our thermal Long Lace Trim Sleeve T-Shirt. Trimmed with pretty lace at the neck and cuffs, the ribbed style fabric is oh-so warm and cosy. Whether you’re snuggling up at home, or looking for conkers and the family, it’s just the ticket.
