LAVERNE | Three piece for weddings and receptions

Three pieces meant I could put one down when the room got warm and still be properly dressed.

A wedding reception runs long and it runs warm, and most formal outfits only work at one temperature. You arrive correct, you sit through the speeches slowly cooking, and by the dancing you are in something you no longer want to be in. Laverne was built in three parts so the outfit can change while you stay put.

The wide-leg pants drape rather than fit, which is what keeps a long evening comfortable at the waist and the hip, and the three coordinated pieces give you a covered version and a lighter version of the same outfit. It is cut for weddings and receptions, and the relaxed line is what stops it looking like something borrowed from a formal shop.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• Three pieces, two temperatures. Covered for the ceremony, lighter for the reception, and it is the same outfit either way.
• Wide-leg pants that drape. Nothing tight at the waist or the hip through hours of sitting.
• Formal without stiffness. Cut relaxed, so it reads as elegant rather than as hired.
• Four colors and sizes from XS. Blue, gray, purple and black.

A few recent reviews

The purple is a soft heather rather than a bright one. Lovely at a wedding.

I took the third piece off after the ceremony and still looked dressed.

All three pieces matched exactly in shade, which is not always the case.
