DOROTHY | Flared sleeves with straight-leg trousers

The sleeves move when I do. At a formal dinner that is worth more than any amount of jewellery.

Formal clothes tend to stand still. They hold their shape, you hold yours, and by the end of the evening both of you are tired of it. Dorothy is the formal set in this collection that actually moves, and the movement is where all of its elegance comes from.

The sleeves are flared, opening out from the elbow so they swing as you gesture and reach, and the top above them flows loosely rather than fitting. Balancing that is a straight-leg trouser, structured and narrow enough to hold the outfit together, because a flowing top over a flowing leg would simply look like a lot of fabric.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• Flared sleeves that move. They open from the elbow and swing as you gesture, which is where the grace of the outfit comes from.
• A straight leg to balance the flow. The narrower trouser holds the shape together so the loose top does not take over.
• Formal without stiffness. Cut for an evening event and comfortable enough to stay for all of it.
• Ready for a heel. The straight leg takes a heel cleanly, which a wide leg often does not.

How it fits

Sizes S through 3XL. The trousers are straight rather than wide, so they sit closer than most of this collection; check the chart at the hip as well as the bust. Between two sizes, take the larger.

A few recent reviews

The sleeves are wide but not so wide that they land in the soup.

The straight trousers were the right call with a heel.
