Summer matching sets for warm evenings and travel days

Two-thread jersey for the hour the heat lets go

Black, gray, red and powder pink come in two-thread jersey with a little stretch. Our black one has no brushed back, so it won’t feel heavy on a warm evening. Each of the four is a hooded zip jacket with long sleeves and fitted pants. Leave the jacket open over a white tee at a terrace café, and zip it up once the wind starts coming in off the water.

Powder pink likes white canvas sneakers, a beige trench and a small crossbody bag. Gray’s happy with pretty much any T-shirt you’ve got. Red’s fine with plain white everything. And black is the one for a long drive, with white sneakers and a denim jacket thrown on top.

Thin velvet and a red skirt set for after dark

Our velvet is thin. You’ll wear it on cool summer nights and through those in-between weeks of spring and fall, and it’s the same fabric you’ve probably heard called velour. A velvet matching summer set comes in emerald, red or black with a hood, plus one black version with a stand collar. Split them up whenever you like. Jacket with jeans. Pants with a plain sweatshirt.

Emerald looks fresh next to white sneakers, a cream bag and gold hoops, and a short camel jacket finishes it for a walk around town. Black velvet takes chunky white trainers in the afternoon and low-heeled ankle boots at dinner. On a windy night near the sea, that stand collar covers your neck. Leave the scarf in the suitcase.

The red set isn’t like the others. It’s a cropped top with a rounded neckline and a pencil mini skirt, both in scuba knit, a dense fabric that keeps its shape after an hour in the car and rarely needs an iron. Heeled sandals in July. When the night turns cool, the skirt takes nude tights and low boots, with a black blazer over your shoulders.

Frequently asked questions

Will a matching summer set work in real heat?

The red top and skirt will. Keep the hooded ones for cooler evenings, travel days and early mornings.

How do I wash the jersey sets?

Turn them inside out and pick the delicate cycle at 30 °C. Skip the dryer and the radiator. If little pills show up, a lint shaver takes care of them.

What about the velvet after a trip?

Inside out, in cool water, and skip the wringing. Hang it up to dry, then steam it from the back instead of pressing the pile.

What size should I get in a set?

We make them in XS to XL. With the red top-and-skirt set and the black velvet set with a stand collar, the two pieces come in one size, so go by the bigger of your bust and hip measurements. For the rest, your usual size is the place to start.
