Ready to see the softer side of French Connection?

Sears has teamed with the British retailer to launch UK Style by French Connection, a new line of contemporary clothing and accessories for men, women, and children.

In-store boutiques featuring the designs will hit 500 Sears stores in the United Sates, as well as Sears.com, in early 2011, ripe for your spring shopping sprees.

Following the initial launch, Sears will introduce swimwear, footwear, sunglasses, jewelry, and home items.

"This launch gives us the opportunity to use the strength of French Connection as a global brand to reach a wider audience at new, accessible price points," says Stephen Marks, founder and chairman of French Connection.

"We believe this will complement our existing French Connection brand. We're very much looking forward to introducing UK Style by French Connection to the American market."

So what can you expect? The women's collection will include floral leggings and striped tanks (from $9.90), along with patterned minis and sequined and animal-print shifts (starting at $29.90).

Men can look for dark-washed jeans ($24.90), button-down oxford shirts ($24.90), and V-neck T-shirts ($12.90).
