Soft dove grey faux suede gives this Giere Volcana Karner two-piece suit a beautifully clean finish, with the matching jacket and skirt creating one long line when worn together. The jacket has a neat stand collar, gently structured shoulders and a relaxed body that can be drawn in with the matching self tie belt. Turn-back cuffs, angled welt pockets and tonal buttons keep the detailing beautifully simple.
The coordinating skirt sits neatly at the waist before falling into a long, gently A-line shape, with discreet side pockets and a smooth waistband. Worn together, the proportions are rather fabulous, with the shorter belted jacket sitting neatly over the longer skirt. Both pieces work separately too, which gives you plenty of options without losing what makes the original suit so good.
Try the full suit with a raspberry or cobalt knit underneath and ankle boots, or add a striped top in cream and cherry red for a more relaxed combination. Wear the jacket with dark denim and a turquoise scarf, then give the skirt a different direction with a tucked-in silk blouse in emerald, plum or paprika.
This shape works well if you like the option of defining the waist without needing a closely fitted jacket. The belt lets you adjust the shape through the middle, while the longer skirt gives room through the hips and thighs. Worn open, the jacket creates a straighter line through the body, so you can change the proportion depending on what you are wearing underneath.
