Soft dove grey gives this two-piece knit suit a beautifully restrained look, but the tailoring is where the interest really sits. The jacket has a neat notched collar, long raglan-style sleeves and a straight, gently shaped body, finished with fabric-covered buttons and distinctive double tab detailing at each hip.

The matching skirt keeps the line simple, with a defined waistband, subtle shaping through the hips and a straight knee-length silhouette. Worn together, the textured knit and tonal detailing give you a polished look without feeling overly formal. Both pieces also have plenty of potential worn separately.

Try the jacket with chocolate brown trousers, a tangerine knit and loafers, or wear it with dark denim and cobalt accessories. Pair the skirt with a raspberry blouse and burgundy boots, or bring in chartreuse, violet or deep teal for stronger colour contrast. For a more dressed-up version of the full suit, add a silk scarf, sculptural earrings and a richly coloured handbag.
