Cecilia | Print Trouser Set

Everything a suit has — one cloth head to toe, a collar, a belt, a waist — and not a scrap of black.

What makes an outfit read as a suit is not the color. It is one cloth running the whole way down without a break, so the eye takes you in as a single line rather than as a top and a bottom. The Cecilia does exactly that in printed satin instead of gray wool: shirt and pants cut from the same large ornate paisley — turquoise and gold on a burgundy ground — so the line runs unbroken from the shoulder to the floor. The shirt is a real shirt, with a pointed collar, buttons the whole way down and a proper cuff that buttons at the wrist, which is why it holds its shape tucked into the waistband and why it works entirely on its own with jeans. The belt comes in the box, cut from the same printed satin and threaded through proper loops with a plain rectangular buckle — the one thing you could never find a match for yourself, and the thing that would otherwise send you back to a black belt that cuts the whole line in half. Below the waist nothing is close to you: the pants are cut wide the entire way down and fall to the floor, with real side pockets in them. Structured above, completely free below.

Why you'll love the Cecilia

• ✔ A suit line without the suit — one printed satin from shoulder to floor
• ✔ A waist on purpose — the shirt tucks in and the belt goes over it
• ✔ The belt is included — same cloth, proper loops, so it actually matches
• ✔ Both halves work alone — the shirt with jeans, the pants with a sweater
• ✔ Nothing tight below the waist — wide the whole way down to the floor
• ✔ Real pockets — set into the side of the pants
