Blue Platypus Clothing Review and Giveaway


Looking for some great cute clothes for this fall? Well, I have just the place for you - Blue Platypus! Funny name, but great clothes! :)

Blue Platypus was conceived in November 2003. They are mid-century modernists at heart, although they find inspiration in various places. Prints, patterns, and colors from different eras play a huge role in their designs. Clean geometric as well as fluid organic shapes, e.g. silhouettes of heads, are featured in their designs. They believe that the juxtaposition of diverse elements in surprising ways is essential to the evolution of design. They create surface interest and create a cornucopia of flavors. They also like to have prints that are interesting from afar, and surprising when scrutinized closely.

In their line, they want images to speak for themselves, so they try to limit the words. Occasionally they have a word-oriented design, but they strive to create images that are strong on their own. They try to avoid generic sayings and words, and use letters as visual elements as well as meaning. They do name each of their lines, and many designs feature on the back or sleeve as well as the front, to create 360-degree interest.

I received the Houndstooth Sweatshirt in Brown.This scoop-necked houndstooth sweatshirt is a 50-50 cotton/poly blend with cotton rib trim. Very flattering on, it's the same silhouette as their regular scoop-necked sweatshirt, but in a special snazzy houndstooth fabric. The fit is contemporary.


My Opinion
There were so many cute shirts to choose from it was so hard to choose! However, I know I need some cute shirts (that fit!) for this fall/winter so I chose the cute Houndstooth Sweatshirt!

It is so comfortable and fit me perfectly! I was so excited to wear it out for a night out and it was so cute with jeans! I got many compliments on it!

I recommend Blue Platypus clothing for anyone who likes cute and different clothing. Blue Platypus has great designs and you will definitely stand out in a crowd!
