PHYLLIS | Soft top with wide-leg pants

I wore it to a dinner and then kept it on all evening at home. It turns out those can be the same clothes.

There is an odd rule most of us follow without deciding to: the evening outfit comes off when the evening ends. You change into something soft, and the good clothes go back on the hanger having been uncomfortable for four hours. Phyllis is the set that made a lot of women question the rule.

The top is cut relaxed and the fabric is soft, so it drapes from the shoulder without anything holding it in place, and the wide-leg pants fall long and full from the hip. That fluid line is what makes it look deliberate at a table, and the softness is what makes it bearable afterward. Nothing about it needs to be endured.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• Dinner clothes you do not take off. Soft enough to stay in after the guests leave, which almost nothing in this category manages.
• The wide leg carries the shape. A full leg falling from the hip flatters without anything having to grip the waist.
• It drapes rather than sits. The fabric falls away from the body, so an evening of sitting does not leave lines across you.
• Six colors, evening and daytime both. Black and red for the table, pink, blue, khaki and white for the daylight.

A few recent reviews

The red is a true red. I have been looking for one that is not orange underneath.

Soft enough that I fell asleep in it once. Not a criticism.

The pants hang from the hip and do not pull across the front.
