RITA | Flowing blouse with wide-leg pants

The blouse has been to a funeral, a lunch and a school concert. The pants have been everywhere else.

The sets that stay in the wardrobe are rarely the ones that look best in the photograph. They are the ones whose halves go on working after the set itself has been worn a few times, because that is when you find out whether you bought an outfit or two good garments. Rita is the second kind.

The blouse is cut flowing, falling loose from the shoulder without a defined waist, and the wide-leg pants are cut on the same soft line, so worn together they read as one quiet column. Apart, neither of them looks like half of something: the blouse goes over your own trousers, the pants take any plain top, and both hold their shape well enough to be dressed up or down with nothing more than a change of shoes.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• Two garments that survive the set. Each half works alone with what you already own, so you are buying twice rather than once.
• One soft column together. Blouse and pants cut on the same line create a single unbroken shape rather than a top and a bottom.
• Dressed up or down by the shoes. A flat sandal makes it daytime, a low heel makes it an occasion, and nothing else needs to change.
• Four quiet colors, sizes from XS. White, black, camel and gray, in a range that starts smaller than most.

How it fits

Sizes XS through 3XL, with a flowing cut throughout and no defined waist to catch you out. Take your usual size, or the larger one if you are between two, since the shape depends on the fabric hanging free.

A few recent reviews

The camel is a proper camel, warm rather than yellow.

I wear the pants far more than the set. That is not a complaint.

Ordered the XS for my mother and the S for me. Both were right.
