Review: Peter Som for Kohls

So, while I've found a few pieces I like from previous Kohl's designer collaborations, I've not been all the impressed. The new collection from Peter Som is a huge improvement and here are a few of the pieces I really liked (and bought):

Pineapple print charmeuse pants: a nice thick (but not icky) satiny fabric, good pockets, and softly draping legs like really comfy but cool pjs. My usual medium was a great fit. Kicky and summery to wear with a t and wedges.

Moto jacket: I've been wanting a white moto jacket for spring to wear with dress and jeans and what I like about this one is the simplicity of it. Not too much blingy detail and no nonsense on the sleeves; makes them easy to push up. Soft knit but not shiny poly feel. Good!

Splatter Maxi: much nicer than expected from the cool, crisp fabric to the easy styling. Like the elastic waist (comfy) and the slit. Also, pockets!

French Terry Pants: I just love the look of a dressy sweat pant and these have a lower rise that updates the style. Bought in black; may get the blue.

Embroidered sweat shirt: This felt very J Crew on and the fit was awesome. Not baggy, but not too snug. I bought up a size to have a slouchier look, but my normal small would have been fine. Good quality on this one.

There was lots more but this is what I chose for round one. In the coming weeks as the discounts get deeper, there are few things I would love to have.

I also did some damage at the Uniqlo collection by Ines de la Fressange which is totally awesome if you like simple styles.
