Fine vertical ribbing provides a soft stretch running the length of this wool knit two piece in a soft charcoal grey. A contrasting cream ribbed turtleneck collar sets off the tunic top, closed at the front with a small grey tab and gold buckle, while a discreet zip runs neatly up the back into the collar seam. The tunic falls fitted through the shoulders before easing into a longer, almost A-line shape, with rounded contrast pockets in matching cream ribbing finished at the hip, each secured by its own buckle tab. Below, the trousers pick up the same rib knit and grey tone, sitting at the natural waist and running straight through the leg.

This is a set that layers with intention, the fitted shoulder and turtleneck collar offering structure up top while the tunic's straight body skims loosely through the middle. The straight trouser leg lengthens the silhouette and balances the tunic's longer hemline, giving a clean line from collar to ankle. Wear the pieces together for a cohesive look, or split them to work into your existing wardrobe.
