HELEN | V-neck sweater with wide-leg pants

I work from home three days a week and this is what I wear on all three. It does video calls perfectly well.

Working from home quietly ruined most of our wardrobes. The comfortable clothes took over, and then a call comes in and you are pulling a cardigan over something you slept in. Helen was made for that exact set of days, where nothing is formal but you still have to look at yourself on a screen.

The sweater has a V-neck, which opens the line at the throat instead of closing it, and a dropped shoulder seam that sits below the joint so nothing pulls when you reach for the keyboard. The wide-leg pants underneath are soft and full, and the whole thing drapes rather than fits, which is what makes it work for a morning of errands just as well as a morning at a desk.

Why women our age keep coming back to them

• The V-neck opens the face up. A V at the throat lengthens the line above the bust, which a round neck on a soft sweater tends to shorten.
• Dropped shoulders mean nothing pulls. The seam sits below the shoulder joint, so reaching, typing and driving are all free.
• Presentable and comfortable at once. Soft enough for the sofa, tidy enough for a screen or a school run.
• Seven colors, mostly quiet ones. Beige, brown, black, sky blue, olive green, pink and gray.

How it fits

Sizes S through 2XL. The dropped shoulder means this sits wider than a standard sweater, so there is no need to size up for room. Take your usual size, and the larger one if you are genuinely between two.

Soft without being the kind of soft that pills after two washes.

The olive green goes with everything I own, which I did not expect.

I ordered the 2XL and the shoulders sat properly, which they usually do not.
