The Striped Set That Gets You Ready Before Everyone Else: Two Pieces, One Decision
A loose V-neck tunic that drapes over the middle and never clings, with wide-leg trousers that move when you do.
I am Julie Scott, and I started Scott and Daughters in Melbourne after all these years of dressing women. This letter is about the Kiara, a striped two-piece set, and why it is the one I keep recommending for an ordinary Sunday.
You know the moment. A family barbecue, nothing fancy, and you are standing at the wardrobe. The nice dress is too much for a backyard, the old shorts look like you gave up, and the trousers need a top that needs a cardigan. Twenty minutes later you grab the safe option again.
I never accepted that a woman should choose between comfortable and put together. So we chose a set where the thinking is already done, and here are the four things it does.
A Tunic That Never Clings
The tunic is oversized with a soft V neckline and wide sleeves to the elbow. It drapes loosely over the body, so it falls past the tummy and hips instead of sitting on them.
Stripes run up and down across the shoulders and across the body below, which keeps the eye moving. You can stand in the front row of the family photo without thinking about your middle.
Trousers That Move With You
The trousers are relaxed and wide in the leg, with stripes running straight down. They move with you when you carry plates out to the garden, sit down on a low chair or chase a grandchild across the lawn.
Nothing pulls at the knee and nothing rides up when you sit.
Light on a Warm Day
The set is light and breathable, so it stays comfortable on warm days. The loose tunic lets the air move, and the elbow sleeves cover the tops of the arms without adding warmth.
It still feels fresh at the end of a long afternoon in the sun.
Together, or Each on Its Own
The two pieces are made to be worn together, so on a busy morning you simply put them on. But they work apart as well: the trousers with a plain white top for lunch, the tunic over your favourite jeans for the shops.
One set, and you have three outfits. Khaki, Olive, Black, Blue, Yellow or Red, sizes S to 2XL.
Against the outfits you have been putting together
I have stood at that wardrobe myself more times than I can count.
Getting dressed for a Sunday should take two minutes, not twenty.
Why it is in the sale now
I am handing Scott and Daughters over to my daughters, Emily and Charlotte. To mark the new chapter, the whole collection is in the New Chapter Sale. The Kiara is now $89.95 AUD, the earlier price was $219.95 AUD. Buying more than one stacks the discount.
I'll be plain about it: this price ends with the sale.
I would rather this set goes to women who will wear it every weekend this summer. If one of the six colours is speaking to you, have a look while your size is still in stock.
