Which FOIL Styles Work Best in Summer?
FOIL Clothing Designed in New Zealand
FOIL is a New Zealand womenswear label that understands the difference between clothes that look appealing on a rack and clothes that genuinely earn their place in a wardrobe. Established in 2009, the brand designs tops, shirts, dresses, pants, jackets and knitwear with enough personality to feel interesting, but without making them difficult to wear.
The FOIL clothing collection at Weekends includes dependable repeat shapes alongside new-season colours, prints and fabric updates. Some women begin with one of the brand’s pull-on pants or cotton shirts, then return because the same practical thinking runs through the rest of the collection.
FOIL Styles Worth Knowing
The All Class Shirt
The All Class Shirt is a useful example of what FOIL does particularly well. It retains the familiar collar, button-through front and long sleeves of a classic shirt, then changes the mood through seasonal prints and colours. Current versions include Petal Print, Flower Patch and the Dot It colourways.
The current printed All Class Shirts are made from 100% cotton. Wear one buttoned with plain pants, leave it open over a tank or use it beneath a lightweight jacket when the print needs to do most of the work.
The Signature 7/8 Pant
The Signature 7/8 Pant is designed for women who want a cleaner alternative to denim without moving into formal tailoring. Its pull-on elastic waist keeps the front smooth, while the tapered leg and side ankle split prevent the shape from looking heavy.
The current black Signature 7/8 Pant is made from 69% cotton, 27% nylon and 4% elastane. This gives the pant cotton structure with the movement needed for sitting, walking and wearing it throughout the day. Selected sizes are currently available from 8 to 24.
The Crowd Pleaser Dress
The Crowd Pleaser Dress is an uncomplicated pure-linen dress with room through the waist and hip. The gathered lower section gives movement to the silhouette, while cap sleeves, a round neckline and side pockets make it practical for warm days.
It is available in seasonal colours rather than a single permanent palette, allowing customers who know the shape to return for a different colour when a new collection arrives.
FOIL Tops and Shirts
FOIL tops and shirts range from cotton button-through shirts and pure-linen tops to printed blouses and relaxed knits. The shapes are generally easy to coordinate with existing trousers, skirts and denim, while details such as back pleats, curved hems, open sleeves and interesting necklines stop them feeling basic.
Current styles include the All Class Shirt, Enchanting Top, Wild About Top, Bubble Trouble Blouse, Shore Bet Top, Buttons Up Top and Team Player Top. These names matter because FOIL often revisits successful wardrobe ideas in new colours or fabrics.
FOIL Dresses
Explore FOIL within the Weekends women’s dresses collection for pure-linen summer shapes, striped shirt dresses, printed occasion styles and relaxed pull-on dresses.
The current collection includes the Crowd Pleaser Dress, Good Shirt Dress, Stitch Savvy Dress, Flock Yeah Dress, Masterclass Dress and Slay the Soiree Dress. These are not all variations of the same loose shape: the range extends from belted and button-through shirt dresses to relaxed A-line silhouettes and dresses with gathered volume through the hem.
FOIL Pants
FOIL pants include cropped pull-on styles, tapered 7/8 lengths and seasonal wide-leg silhouettes. The Signature 7/8 Pant provides the neater, everyday option, while styles such as the Together Again Pant introduce a longer, more fluid wide-leg line.
Check the fabric and waistband details before choosing. A structured stretch-cotton pant will sit differently from a fluid wide-leg fabric, even when both are described as comfortable.
FOIL Jackets, Coats and Knitwear
FOIL’s jackets and coats range from lightweight pure-linen layers to textured winter coats, reversible gilets and cotton-blend jackets. The Gather Together Jacket, for example, uses cropped proportions and gathered shaping to finish a dress or high-waisted pant without adding the weight of a conventional blazer.
Winter collections bring another side of FOIL through colourful knitwear, merino pieces, patterned cardigans and tactile outerwear. Previous and current styles include the Plush Love Cardi, Glow Getter Sweater, Love Ewe Top, Top Kat Reversible Gilet and Cover Story Coat.
What Fabrics Does FOIL Use?
FOIL works with natural fibres and carefully chosen blends rather than relying on one fabrication across the collection. Depending on the season and garment, fabrics can include:
- Linen for breathable dresses, summer tops and lightweight jackets
- Cotton for shirts and garments requiring natural structure
- Stretch cotton blends for pull-on pants that need both shape and movement
- Merino wool for selected cooler-weather knitwear
- Viscose and blended fabrics where a softer drape or different finish is required
- Wool blends for structured winter coats
The fibre content is not interchangeable. A pure-linen dress, cotton shirt and merino knit will feel and behave differently, so check the composition and care instructions shown on each product page.
How Does FOIL Clothing Fit?
FOIL does not use one fit across every garment. Some tops have a loose A-line shape, some shirts follow a classic straight silhouette, and pants range from tapered 7/8 styles to fluid wide legs. Dresses may be relaxed, gathered, belted or button-through.
The Weekends collection currently includes numerical sizing from 8 to 24 on selected garments, as well as XS to XXL sizing on particular knitwear and tops. Not every design is produced across the full size range, so use the available sizes and fit information on the individual product page rather than assuming all FOIL styles fit identically.
