EVELYN | Long-sleeve jacket with matching pants

Long sleeves that are not hot. I had begun to think that was a contradiction.

Covering the arms usually means accepting the heat that comes with it, which is why so many of us end up sleeveless and cold indoors, or sleeved and uncomfortable outdoors. The compromise is so familiar it stops registering as a problem. Evelyn is the set women buy when they have decided to stop making it.

The jacket has long sleeves cut in a light, breathable fabric, so the arm is covered without the weight that normally comes with a sleeve, and the drape falls softly against the skin rather than sitting on it. The cut is tailored rather than loose, which gives the set a proper line at the shoulder and the waist, and the matching pants continue that line straight down.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• Sleeves that cover without heating. Long and light at once, which is what makes an office and a warm afternoon possible in the same clothes.
• Tailored, so it holds a line. The shape comes from the cut rather than from being pulled tight anywhere.
• Day into evening without changing. Polished enough for a desk and soft enough for a dinner afterward.
• Black, gray and blue, from XS. Three colors that take any shoe you already own.

How it fits

Sizes XS through 3XL. This one is cut tailored rather than relaxed, so it sits closer than most of the collection. Size on the bust and take the larger of two if you are between, since a tailored sleeve is the first place a tight fit shows.

The sleeves reach my wrist properly, which at 5'9" is not a given.

The gray is a warm gray rather than a steel one. It suits my skin.

I wore it on a plane and then straight into a meeting.
