Two piece going out sets for dinner, the road and the park

We think of a two piece going out set as anything you’d happily leave the house in, so this page runs from a red top and skirt for a date to fleece hoodies for a frozen park. Every co ord going out set here is made of two matching pieces, sewn by us in XS to XL. Pick by where you’re headed.

A night out, a restaurant, a family dinner

For a party or a date, there’s one set that’s pure evening. A cropped red top with a round neck comes with a short pencil skirt, and we cut the two from red scuba knit. It’s a dense jersey that still looks neat after a car ride, and it rarely needs ironing. Heeled sandals in summer. When it’s cold, we’d go for skin-tone tights and heeled booties, with a black jacket thrown on top.

The pencil skirt hugs the hips. So size it by whichever number is bigger, bust or hips. You can split the pair later, too, with the skirt going to work under a white shirt.

Velvet, which a lot of people call velour, sits between dressy and casual. We sew zip hoodie sets in black, red and emerald, plus a black one with a stand collar instead of a hood. Put the black velvet with low-heeled booties and it’s fine for a family dinner in town. It doesn’t look fully sporty. The stand collar covers your neck, so under a jacket you can skip the scarf.

Trips, walks and cold weekends

Most of the sets are warm fleece, with a hoodie or a sweatshirt plus joggers in the same color. Taking a long drive to see your parents? This is what we’d wear. The kangaroo pocket holds a phone and keys, and the hood fits under a puffer.

A few details are worth knowing. On some sweatshirts the hem is cropped, and the joggers with them have a high rise. That keeps a waistline visible even though the cut is relaxed. The black hoodie set has cuffs at the ankle. Push them into tall boots and the legs won’t get wet on a snowy path.

For warm spring days and summer evenings by the water, pick the zip hoodie sets in two-thread jersey with no brushed back. They come in black, gray, red and powder pink, and the fabric has some stretch. Wash any fleece inside out at 30 °C without softener.
