The ribbed knit set that makes comfortable dressing feel beautifully put together
Some matching sets are comfortable but look far too casual the moment you leave the house.
Catherine takes a cleaner approach, combining a soft vertical rib with a generous half-zip collar and relaxed wide-leg trousers.
The Catherine™ Soft Ribbed Half-Zip Two-Piece Set gives you an easy complete outfit for travelling, lunch, shopping, visiting family or simply the days when you want comfort without looking underdressed.
The ribbed texture gives the whole set a longer, cleaner line
Fine vertical ribs run from the top through to the trousers, giving Catherine a noticeably different look from a smooth sweatshirt-style set.
The continuous lines keep the design simple while adding enough texture that a single solid colour never feels flat or unfinished.
It is a subtle detail, but one that helps the complete outfit look more polished from top to bottom.
The neckline
A generous half-zip collar you can wear your own way
The Catherine top is finished with a broad fold-over collar and a practical metal half zip.
Wear the zip more open when you prefer space around the neck, or bring it higher when the weather becomes cooler.
The wider collar also adds shape around the shoulders, helping the simple knitted top feel more considered than an ordinary jumper.
Relaxed through the body without looking oversized
The top falls easily through the shoulders and body rather than sitting tightly against the figure.
The hem finishes around the hip, giving enough coverage while still allowing the wide-leg trousers to remain visible and keeping the proportions balanced.
Long relaxed sleeves complete the soft silhouette and make Catherine particularly comfortable for everyday wear.
The trousers
Wide through the leg with a clean straight fall
The matching trousers continue the same ribbed texture and remain relaxed from the hip down.
Instead of narrowing tightly around the ankle, they fall in a wide straight line towards the shoe, giving you room to move without making the outfit look bulky.
Practical side pockets make them easy to wear for everything from travelling to an afternoon in town.
The sort of set that works from morning until evening
Catherine is easy enough for a quiet morning at home but does not need changing before you head out.
Wear it for a coffee, a train journey, lunch with family, shopping or simply on the days when you want your outfit sorted in one go.
Trainers make it relaxed, while loafers, flats or simple ankle boots can make exactly the same set feel noticeably smarter.
More than one outfit
Wear Catherine together or split the pieces up
Worn together, the matching ribbed texture creates a clean uninterrupted look from shoulder to ankle.
The half-zip jumper can also be worn with jeans or plain trousers, while the wide-leg bottoms work beautifully with another simple knit or cardigan.
That makes Catherine useful beyond the days when you want to wear the full set.
Our favourite colours
Catherine comes in several shades, but these are the three colours we would reach for first.
Cream — light, soft and elegant, especially easy to combine with camel, brown and warm neutral outerwear.
Grey — understated and practical, with the ribbed texture giving the neutral colour plenty of depth.
Camel — warm and versatile, pairing particularly well with cream, black, chocolate brown and tan accessories.

“The ribbing is what makes it for me. It looks much nicer than a plain tracksuit and I feel perfectly comfortable wearing it out for lunch.”

“I really like the collar because it doesn't feel tight around my neck. The grey is also one of those colours that works with everything.”
Lorraine M., 72 — Grey
“The camel is a lovely warm neutral and the trousers have plenty of room without making me look swamped. Very easy to wear.”
