Green two piece set in emerald velvet with a zip hoodie
We sew one green two piece set, and it’s this one, an emerald velvet zip hoodie with matching pants. In Britain you’d probably call it a green co ord set. Either way there’s a single shade of green here, so let’s look at it properly.
What comes in the emerald set
Two pieces. The top is a hooded jacket with a zipper down the front and long sleeves, and the pants are cut from the very same velvet, so the green matches from shoulder to ankle. You may know this fabric as velour. Same cloth, different name.
The color is a deep emerald, the kind you notice among the gray and black jackets of fall. A white tee under the open hoodie is the easy version. Cool day? Zip up. We’d add white sneakers and a cream bag, since pale colors next to it make the green look deeper still.
One velour outfit that splits into three
Is a set worth it if you only ever wear it as a set? Probably not, and with this one you won’t have to. The pants go with a plain sweatshirt you already own. On another day the jacket goes over jeans.
For travel, though, keep the halves together. Dark green is a practical color on the road, and a green two piece set means there’s nothing to plan at six in the morning before a flight. In town we’d throw a short camel jacket over it. At home it suits a lazy Saturday as well as a family get-together where nobody’s dressing up.
Sizing a jacket and pants in a single order
Measure twice. Go by your hips and your bust, because you’re fitting pants and a jacket at once, and hold both numbers against the measurement table for this set. It’s sewn in XS to XL, where an M is roughly a US 6–8.
Velvet asks for a little care, so turn both pieces inside out before washing, wash no warmer than 30 °C, and dry them on a hanger away from the radiator.
Want to compare before you decide? This fabric also sits with our velour tracksuits, and every coordinated outfit we make is under matching sets. If green isn’t your color after all, try the sets in black.
Frequently asked questions
Is velour the same as velvet?
For this set, yes. We call it velvet, you may call it velour, and both words mean the fabric in the photos.
Do the two pieces work apart?
They do. The jacket works with jeans and the pants with a basic sweatshirt, which is half the reason to own a set.
Is this green two piece set bright or dark?
Dark. It’s a deep emerald, nowhere near neon or mint, and gold earrings look good beside it.
Is it only for lounging at home?
No. It’s comfortable on the couch, but we’d wear it just as happily on a walk, on a trip or to a relaxed family occasion.
