This grey knit skirt and top set has a fine silver metallic thread running through the wool blend, giving it a soft shimmer rather than shine. The top fastens with a row of silver-tone ball buttons under a scooped neckline, with ribbed trim at the neck, sleeve and hem for a neat finish this set sings true of sixties styling. The skirt is a simple straight style in the same soft grey, with a ribbed hem band that matches the top's finish, so the two pieces sit together as a set rather than separate items paired by chance.

Wear the two pieces together for a neat, put together look, or split them up: the top works well under a blazer or cardigan with trousers, and the skirt pairs easily with a plain jumper or blouse on other days. The silver thread catches the light without being fussy, so it moves easily from daytime to evening with only a change of shoes.
