LORRAINE | Off-shoulder top with wide-leg trousers

My shoulders are the part of me I still like. It has taken until now to find something that agrees.

Most of us dress around the middle and forget there is anything above it. The result is a closet full of tops that cover everything equally and flatter nothing in particular, and an evening out where you end up in the same high collar as always. Lorraine moves the attention upward, which is a change worth making.

The neckline sits off the shoulder, so it draws a wide horizontal line across the collarbone and leaves the shoulders open, and that one line does more for the upper body than any amount of tailoring lower down. The wide-leg trousers underneath stay plain and long, which keeps the balance and means the eye travels up rather than stopping at the hip.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• It puts the emphasis on the collarbone. An off-shoulder neckline opens the top of the body, which is the part most of us are still happy to show.
• The trousers stay quiet on purpose. Plain and wide below, so nothing competes with the neckline and the line stays long.
• Dinner and daytime from one set. Sandals and a flat bag for the afternoon, a heel and an earring for the evening, no change of clothes in between.
• Three colors that all read soft. Beige, gray and white, none of them harsh against the face.

How it fits

Sizes XS through 3XL. One thing worth knowing before you order: an off-shoulder neckline has to sit snug across the upper arm to stay where it belongs, so do not size up for comfort here the way you might elsewhere. Take your usual size, and if you are genuinely between two, the larger one, then wear it as it falls.

It stayed on my shoulders through a whole dinner, which I did not expect.

I wore the beige to an outdoor dinner in Sedona and felt like myself.

The trousers are properly long, which is what makes the whole thing work.
