The softer side of Sears just got a lot more, uh, Frenchy-British. Sears and French Connection have announced a partnership to launch UK Style, a collaborative effort that will be sold exclusively in Sears stores beginning next March. WWD reports: "Among the key styles will be tuxedo jackets, cropped floral leggings, striped tanks, animal prints, sequined tops and, on the men’s side, washed denims and oxford shirts—all looks for which French Connection has been known, although at Sears the prices will be much lower. The collection will have a balance of fashion, key items, bottoms and dresses." Pricepoints cited include: "striped tanks from $10 to tuxedo jackets priced for $50 and denim jeans for about $27."
