FRANCES | Longline top with relaxed trousers

I wore it to a meeting and then straight to dinner. Nobody could tell it was the same day.

The hardest thing to find after fifty is not a comfortable outfit or a smart one. It is a single outfit that is both, so that a day with a meeting in it does not have to be planned around a change of clothes. Frances gets asked for by name for exactly that reason.

The top is cut longline, finishing below the hip rather than at the waist, which draws one continuous vertical line instead of cutting you in half at the widest point. The trousers underneath are relaxed and move as you walk, so nothing about the outfit is holding you still, and the two pieces are coordinated well enough that putting them on requires no thought at seven in the morning.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• The longline top does the shaping. Finishing below the hip creates a long vertical line, which flatters far more reliably than anything nipped in at the waist.
• Trousers that let you walk properly. Relaxed through the leg, so you can cross a parking lot without the fabric arguing with you.
• Office in the morning, out in the evening. It carries both without a change, which is the whole point of buying a set.
• Nine colors and sizes to 5XL. From white and gray through red, purple and green, in a range very few sets actually offer.

How it fits

Sizes S through 5XL. The longline top is meant to skim rather than cling, so take your usual size and let it hang. If you are between two sizes go up, because a longline shape only works when the fabric falls freely past the hip.

A few recent reviews

The length of the top is the reason it works. Anything shorter and I would not wear it.

Nine colors and I still had trouble choosing. Ended up with the khaki.

I am a 4XL and it fit properly through the shoulder, not just the body.
