DOLORES | Draping blouse with relaxed pants

The orange is the reason I bought it. I have spent fifteen years in navy and I was tired of it.

Somewhere along the way most of our wardrobes turned into a row of black, navy and gray, chosen one safe decision at a time. None of it was a mistake exactly, and all of it together is a bit of a shame. Dolores is the set women order when they have decided to break the run.

The blouse drapes softly rather than holding a shape, so the color reads as a large clean block instead of being broken up by seams and detail, and the pants are relaxed enough to carry it without the outfit becoming a statement. It is plain in cut and bold in color, which is the safest way to wear something bright at any age.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• Color carried by a plain cut. No detail competing with the shade, which is what makes a strong color look deliberate rather than loud.
• The blouse drapes rather than fits. Soft fabric falling from the shoulder, so nothing pulls across the front.
• Lunch and evening in one set. Relaxed enough for the afternoon and finished enough for a dinner afterward.
• Gray, khaki and orange. Two quiet ones and one that is not, so you can decide how far to go.

How it fits

Sizes S through 3XL, relaxed throughout. Take your usual size, or the larger of two if you are between them, since the blouse is meant to fall loose.

A few recent reviews

The orange is warm rather than neon. I am 68 and it does not wear me.

I bought the khaki as the safe one and wear the orange twice as often.

Soft enough to wear all day, tidy enough for a restaurant.
