CHARLENE | Set with an uneven hemline

The hem is short at one side and long at the other and somehow that is all it takes.

Two identical sets can hang side by side and only one of them gets worn, and the reason is usually something small: a line that falls in a slightly better place. Charlene is the quiet one in this collection, with almost nothing going on except one cut that is doing all the work.

The hem is asymmetrical, finishing at two different heights, which sends a diagonal across the hip instead of a level line and keeps the eye moving down the body rather than stopping. Everything else is deliberately plain: a relaxed fit, a lightweight fabric, and a shape loose enough to stay cool and to carry an evening out as easily as an afternoon at home.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• One good line, nothing else. The uneven hem does the flattering, so there is no detail anywhere competing with it.
• Relaxed without being tight anywhere. Loose through the body, so it never presses on a full afternoon.
• Light enough to stay cool. A thin fabric that moves rather than holds heat.
• Navy or pink. One quiet choice and one softer one.

How it fits

Sizes S through 3XL, relaxed throughout. Because the top is cut asymmetrically the two sleeves are not the same length, which the size chart shows and which is the design rather than a fault. Take your usual size, or the larger of two if you are between them.

A few recent reviews

The uneven sleeves threw me for a moment. The chart explains it and it is intentional.

Simple, and better in person than in the photographs.

I wore the navy to dinner and the pink for a grandchild's birthday.
