Luke Roper Leicester Store to Open September 2011

The official Luke 1977 website has announced the scheduled opening date of its new Leicester store is set for around 2 to 3 weeks’ time – great news for men's designer clothing lovers (or doting mums and girlfriends) who are looking to get their hands on some quality Luke clobber from the winter 2011 collection in plenty of time to avoid Christmas rush.

The new shop located in the Highcross Shopping Centre will be the 5th "bricks and mortar" incarnation of the leading men's designer clothing brand here in the UK.  The news of the Leicester shop opening comes following the successful recent launch of the Luke Roper store in St David’s Shopping Centre, Cardiff on 7th of August.

Famous for its rugged but stylish collection of designer menswear, the Luke brand has been continuing to look to expand its horizons beyond designer Luke Roper's old stomping ground in the West Midlands. The Luke shop in The Bullring in Birmingham opened with a bang in late April 2011, with the opening party attended by members of indie band The Enemy as well as Premier League stars from Aston Villa FC.

News of the Leicester launch party bash should be surfacing soon on Luke's official Facebook page.

Mens Designer Jumpers - Perfect For Late Summer Evenings

In spite of the recent great weather we have been having here in the UK, its hard to believe that we have already passed the longest day and the nights will soon start drawing in faster and faster. While the evenings in later summer in the UK are often a great time to spend time outside having BBQs with friends, sitting in beer gardens having a pint, or watching the opening fixtures at the start of the new football season in August, before long you’ll start to feel the temperatures getting a little cooler.

For this reason, you will obviously be looking for a different choice of men’s clothing to wear as temperatures get cooler. Luckily, there are some fantastic men’s designer jumpers available on the market at the moment - which are perfect for evenings when the mercury level starts to drop. Lyle and Scott of course have a fantastic selection of thin v neck jumpers and cardigans available at the moment, which are great for this time of year. But there are also some great men’s designer jumpers from the likes of G-Star, Original Penguin, Luke 1977, Armani and many other great designer names which will make you look the part.

Look Cool on the Terraces with Luke 1977 Jackets

Luke 1977 is arguably the hottest mens casual brand name to have emerged out of England over the last 2 years - and their fantastic range of designer clothing designed for the working class English “lad” or “loveable rogue” has been immediately snapped up by football fans in their thousands across the UK. Luke 1977 jackets, hats and scarves are often adorned by fans on the terraces who are on the lookout for the perfect combination of casual style and practicality against the elements. Chief designer for Luke 1977 is Walsall’s own Luke Roper – a graduate of St Martin’s college of design - but who has remained very proud of his Black Country roots – a fact which is very much evident in his cool but often raw mens clothing designs. Luke 1977 polo shirts and jumpers are also popular for young men hanging at the local bar or pub as they offer up a simplistic casual style but with some great little attentions to detail – factors that have helped to make this independent brand name become so popular for fashion conscious young men in the UK.
