Soft blue and white stripes bring an effortless, almost sun-washed ease to this late 80s to early 90s Jasper Conran silk set. There’s something quietly refined about it. The kind of piece that doesn’t need to try too hard, but always looks considered.
Cut from 100% silk, both the dress and matching jacket have that light, fluid quality Conran did so well in this period. The fabric moves with the body, skimming rather than clinging, with a gentle sheen that catches the light without feeling overt.
The dress is softly blouson through the top with an elasticated waistband that creates shape while keeping everything relaxed and wearable. The skirt falls into a loose, gathered tier, giving it movement and an easy, throw-on feel. Completely unlined, it feels breathable and effortless. Perfect for warmer days or layered into cooler months.
The matching jacket elevates it beyond a simple day dress. Unstructured and fluid, with a soft drape and easy silhouette, it can be worn as part of the set or styled separately. Thrown over a white t-shirt and jeans, it becomes something entirely different. Understated, modern, and quietly chic.
A beautiful example of Conran’s ability to balance tailoring and ease, and to design pieces that move seamlessly between occasions.
