A soft knit two piece, made from a Courtelle blend that holds its structure and feels gentle against the skin. The top has a wide, pointed collar that opens into a deep V neckline, with turned back cuffs finishing the elbow length sleeves. An elasticated waist at teh rear gathers the fabric into a soft peplum while the pockets sit neatly at the hip. The matching trousers rise high at the waist and fasten with a single button, releasing into a straight leg that hugs while moves easily. Both pieces share the same grey blue tone, giving the set a clean, cohesive finish.
Worn together or mixed separately through your existing wardrobe, the top's gathered waist adds definition without pulling tight through the middle, while the collar and V neckline open the shoulders and bust. The straight leg balances the fitted waist and hip, elongating the leg line while offering ease of movement. A versatile knit set suited to easy layering.
