There is a warmth to this knit two piece, the kind of set built for easy layering through cooler months. The fair isle style banding sits in soft rust and cream across the shoulders and yoke of the top, a decorative knit motif closely associated with 1970s casual dressing, and repeats again along the hem of the matching skirt. A keyhole neckline closes at the front with a small wooden toggle button. The knit itself has a soft, slightly textured hand, holding its shape well through the body while the elasticated skirt waist offers easy movement.

Worn together as a set or mixed separately through your existing wardrobe, this piece offers a relaxed, easy fit through the shoulders and bust, with the keyhole neckline sitting open rather than close to the throat. The skirt skims gently over the hip almost A-line and settles at the natural waist, giving length and movement. A versatile knit pairing suited to layering.
