SHARP TAILORING CREATES PRECISE SHAPES & CLASSIC SILHOUETTES ARE GRACIOUSLY ADORNED WITH SUBTLE DETAILS INCLUDING SHEER PANELLING & DELICATE CUT-OUT SLEEVES. NIPPED WAISTS & PERT COLLARS ARE PAIRED WITH RAGLAN-SLEEVE SEAMS WHILE THE SOFT KNITS ARE BEGGING TO BE SLUNG OVER PERFECTLY-POSTURED SHOULDERS. IMPERIAL TWEEDS COURT WITH SLUB SILKS & JODHPUR-ESQUE TIGHTS SPEAK TO THE RELAXED REGALITY OF THE UPPER CLASS ON AN AUTUMN SOJURN.
