Bonny Ronni

27 January, 2011 ·

Colour-blocking and florals are some of the biggest trends for spring summer 2011 and our dress, Ronni, effortlessly and elegantly combines the two.

The rich red jersey fabric is broken up with a pleated waist tie adorned with Ted’s beautiful new rose print, whilst the flattering shape will take you through all this season’s events in chic sophistication.

So whether you’re trying to catch the bouquet or hosting a garden party of your very own, Ronni is the epitome of style made simple.



Denim days

25 January, 2011 ·

Whilst the weather still has a wintry edge, our latest denim jacket Arnym makes both a comfortable and practical choice.

This slick and sharply styled casual jacket gives a fashionable urban look, whilst the darker colour makes it truly versatile.

Classic fabrics, contemporary design and of course, exceptional attention to detail, all of these elements come together to create a must-have for gents this season.

Ted’s tartan

19 January, 2011 ·

Looking to add a bit of colour to your wardrobe? Well if you’re not quite ready for the all-out bold colours that are set to be big this spring summer, Venero should be right up your street.

This beautiful tunic top features exposed zip detailing as well as the first sighting of Ted’s new abstract tartan print – just the thing to lift these dull January days. Its loose fitting shape meanwhile is perfect for milder spring days as well as hiding all those Christmas indulgences!

Try it with skinny jeans or leggings and some cute ankle boots for a casually chic look.



Boy oh boy

18 January, 2011 ·


To whet your appetite for the imminent launch of our new season’s collection, this week we’re highlighting two transitional pieces – one for men and one for women.

These new arrivals are ideal investments that you’ll be able to wear both now and later on in the year. Gents, you’re up first, and we know you’re going to love Plyboy.

Worn on its own or as part of a layered look when it’s chilly, this long sleeved knitted polo really is the epitome of smart casual. Try it with some sleek denim like Sleaker and a classic pair of shoes such as Hake.



With a torrent of gags about the who’s who of Hollywood, our very own Ricky Gervais hosted last night’s Golden Globes in Los Angeles dressed in a bespoke Ted Baker suit created especially for him.

Now Ted’s famed for his own sense of humour, as well as his attention-to-detail, and this outfit was no exception. The navy suit was finished with an inner lining of playing card symbols – hearts, diamonds, spades and clubs – leaving it for Ricky to play the joker.

Award winners from last night include The Social Network with four Golden Globes and British actor Colin Firth, who walked away with the award for best actor.



Stylish savings

13 January, 2011 ·


Looking for the edge this season? Well this pretty little tee, Hebron, with its metal fringe detailing might be right up your street. Especially when you consider it’s on sale from £79 to just £40.

Now to complete the look, head over to Ted’s £30 & under sale category where you’re sure to find a pair of trousers or jeans and a few accessories to match.

Still out for a bargain but got that bit extra to spend? Well our £40 & under category is the place to shop tops and knitwear, whilst £60 & under is home to a fabulous selection of dresses, skirts, playsuits and more.

Don’t take our word for it though, take a look around for yourself before it’s too late.

11 January, 2011 ·
