It’s been half a century since “Le Smoking” suit became the indispensable garment of glamourous women everywhere, and its appeal is more potent than ever. Paired in dramatic head-to-toe black, our Heather Jacket and Velvet Lyndon Blazer are seductive statement pieces that suit a woman’s style and a woman’s sensibility.

The menswear-inspired look is rooted in sartorial tailoring and the finest European fabrics. Prince of Wales plaid woven in Italian Virgin wool forms the foundation for a modern spin on the pant suit. Head to toe, the effect is tactile and striking. Uncoupled, the jacket and pant are equally alluring on their own.

The suit of 2018 is designed to venture beyond the office. Add heels and a silk shell and it’s a sophisticated choice for evening. Drape the jacket over the shoulders, for a sophisticated twist that transcends occasions and time of day.

While the silhouettes nod to tradition, the fit is anything but conventional. Cutting-edge yarns spun with stretch-infused threads are soft and pliable, rather than constricting. A blazer’s cutaway hem curves gracefully away from the body when unbuttoned, for a more relaxed effect. Lightweight materials and less-is-more construction offer fluidity and flexibility. The emphasis is on ease—so essential to modern life.
