Velvet One-Shoulder Top & Wide-Leg Trouser Set — Buckle Strap Detail

A two-piece velvet set worked around one asymmetric line. The top is cut with a single open shoulder, crossed by a strap that carries a square metal buckle; the other side is a plain scoop, so the neckline reads slanted rather than centred. Below it, the trousers are pleated at the front and fall wide and unbroken to the floor, with no turn-up and no taper.

Both pieces are the same velvet in the same tone, which is what makes the set read as one garment rather than two separates. The fabric has a directional pile, so the light travels across it as you move — deeper in the shadows of the pleats, brighter across the chest and the front of the leg. The set is available in eight colours, from bone white through to emerald.

What is in the set

• Two pieces, sold together. One one-shoulder velvet top and one pair of pleated wide-leg trousers in the same colour, from S to 3XL.
• Asymmetric neckline. One shoulder is left open and crossed by a strap with a square metal buckle; the opposite side is a plain scoop neck.
• Gathered cuff. The long sleeve finishes in an elasticated, lightly gathered cuff rather than a flat hem, so it holds at the wrist instead of falling over the hand.
• Hip-length body. The top is cut loose through the chest and drops to the hip, so it sits over the waistband instead of tucking in.
• Front-pleated trousers. Two soft pleats at the front release into a wide leg that runs straight to the floor, with side pockets set into the seam.
• Velvet with a directional sheen. The pile catches light differently depending on which way it is brushed, which is why the colour looks deeper in the folds than on the flat panels.
• Eight colourways. White, Pink, Light Blue, Burgundy, Black, Khaki, Coffee and Dark Green — one flat tone across both pieces in every case.

The neckline, in detail

The open shoulder is the whole point of the top, so it is worth describing precisely. The neckline is not a slash and not a strap top: the fabric is cut away over one shoulder and the remaining edge runs diagonally from the base of the neck to the top of the arm. Across that gap sits a strap in the same velvet, finished with a square metal buckle sitting just off the collarbone.

Because the cut is one-sided, the top sits asymmetrically on the body — one side of the neck is bare and the other is covered to the shoulder seam. That is what gives the set its line in the photographs, and it is also why the top reads differently from the front and from the side.

Size guide

The measurements below are the ones published with this product, in centimetres with inches alongside. All figures are garment measurements taken all the way around — they describe the clothes, not the body. Hand measuring carries a tolerance of roughly 1–3 cm.

Top

Trousers

The set is stocked from S to 3XL. Measured figures are published for S through 2XL only; 3XL is available but its measurements are not published, so treat the 2XL row as the nearest reference and size up if you are between sizes.

How it is cut

The top is a loose, straight body rather than a fitted one. It clears the chest without darts and drops to the hip on a flat hem, so the velvet falls from the shoulder line instead of being shaped into the waist. The sleeve is set in at the shoulder and runs fairly full down the arm before gathering into the cuff — the excess is what gives the soft folds above the wrist.

The trousers do the opposite job: fitted at the waist, then released through two front pleats into a leg that stays wide all the way to the floor. There is no taper and no cuff, which is why the hem breaks over the foot rather than stacking on it. The pleats are what allow that width without the waist collapsing.

Across the size range the length moves by only 1 cm per size while the waist moves by 4 to 6 cm. In practice that means the set grows through the body rather than through the leg: a 2XL is not noticeably longer than an S, it is fuller through the waist and hip.

Stuck on sizing?

Start with the bust on the top and the waist on the trousers, because those are the two places the set is measured all the way around. The bust runs 100 cm at S to 122 cm at 2XL in roughly 4 to 6 cm steps; the waist runs 66 cm to 88 cm. If your bust and waist land in different sizes, take the larger of the two — the top is a loose cut and will not look oversized one size up, whereas a waistband that is too tight cannot be let out.

These are garment measurements with no extra allowance built in beyond what is listed. Measure your bust at the fullest point and your waist at the narrowest point with the tape snug but not pulled tight, then compare those numbers directly to the rows above. The hip row on the trousers is wide by design — it describes the finished garment through a pleated, wide leg, not a fitted hip.

Frequently asked questions

Are the top and trousers sold separately? No. They are sold together as one set, in one size and one colour.

Is the neckline the same on both sides? No. One shoulder is open and crossed by the buckle strap; the other side is a plain scoop. The cut is deliberately asymmetric.

Is the velvet the same tone on both pieces? Yes. Each of the eight colourways is one flat tone across the top and the trousers, with no contrast panel and no trimming in a second colour.

How long are the trousers? The published trouser length runs 102 cm at S to 106 cm at 2XL. The photographs show a full-length leg that reaches the floor and breaks slightly over the foot.

Can the top be worn with other trousers? Yes. It is a complete top in its own right and works over denim or a straight skirt; the trousers also stand alone with a knit or a shirt.

Is the fabric shiny? It is velvet, so it has a directional pile rather than a flat surface. The colour shifts in the light as the pile is brushed one way or the other — that is the movement you can see across the pleats in the photographs, not a metallic finish.

Shipping and returns

Orders are dispatched from our warehouse and tracking is sent as soon as the parcel leaves. If the fit is not right, the set can be returned unworn with the tags attached within the return window stated in our returns policy. Because the two pieces are sold as one set, returns are handled as a set.

Check the size tables against your own measurements before ordering — the bust and waist rows are the two that decide the fit.
