This Puritan Sports skirt suit has old-school polish. It’s beautifully cut and wonderfully composed. It would never sit around waiting for an occasion it would be your 'go to' for work, the movies and out with friends by cleverly mixing and matching with everything else in your wardrobe.
The jacket has a classic tailored line with a generous lapel, button front, and proper patch pockets that make it feel both sharp and practical. The skirt is sleek and long-lined, giving you a clean, confident silhouette that vintage does so well.
Wear the jacket open over a soft dove-grey or lilac tee with deep denim and Doc Martens-style boots for a modern lunch-date look. For the full set, try a bright teal or crisp white knit and silver earrings for a pop of colour. Or go evening with an orchid satin cami tucked into the skirt, a metallic heel, and one bold brooch pinned high on the lapel.
