The Givenchy label did a series of chic separates around this time period and they are amazing when worn together or you could mix and match the pieces with your existing wardrobe. They were what the cool girls wore during the day and were fast and easy dressing. This look is very much back in Vogue and I spotted some very similar cut sets done by Gucci this past year. You can easily imagine Audrey Hepburn wearing this look.
This original vintage version is made from a medium, fine wool knit jersey. The pants are are cut with a flat, zippered front and the pants are ling and lean and have a fabulous flare out at the bottom. Their jersey knit fabric makes them a great year round pant. The sleeveless tunic top buttons down the front to just past the waist with big flat deep blue buttons. It is cut to skim over the body and ends just past the hip. I love the big top set pockets with the same button detailing that sit at the front. The stripes are a mix of a red and a deep navy and they pop against the taupe base. It is very chic and kind of cool. I love it. Excellent condition.
The pants are unlined and close with a front metal zipper. The top is lined in a taupe silk, slips on and buttons down the front. Each pocket is functional. Proper buttonholes and finished by hand. There are minor pinholes on the lining. Please see the photo after the label shot.
