The knit set that turns one simple detail into something special
A comfortable knitted set can be wonderfully useful, but the simplest designs can sometimes feel a little too plain.
Margaret changes that with one distinctive detail: a sweeping asymmetric front finished with three large gold-tone buttons.
The Margaret™ Asymmetric Button-Detail Knit Two-Piece Set combines a cosy roll-neck top with relaxed wide-leg trousers, creating an outfit that feels easy enough for everyday wear but looks far more considered than ordinary loungewear.
The asymmetric front is what makes Margaret different
Instead of finishing in a straight line across the body, the front of the Margaret top sweeps diagonally from the shoulder towards the opposite side.
A wide ribbed trim follows that curved line and is finished with three oversized round gold-tone buttons, drawing the eye diagonally rather than straight across the body.
It gives a simple knitted outfit a much more distinctive look without relying on prints or anything overly decorative.
The silhouette
A longer top with easy coverage through the hips
Margaret has a relaxed tunic-style shape rather than finishing tightly at the waist.
The asymmetric lower edge extends further down through the front and sides, creating comfortable coverage around the hip area without making the outfit feel heavy.
Dropped shoulders and relaxed sleeves add to the easy fit, while the deep ribbed cuffs bring the sleeves neatly back in around the wrists.
A roll neck made for colder days
The softly ribbed high neck gives Margaret its cosy autumn and winter feel.
It provides more coverage around the neck than a crew neck while keeping the rest of the jumper relaxed and uncomplicated.
Paired with the longer silhouette and full-length sleeves, it makes Margaret particularly easy to reach for when the temperature begins to drop.
The detail
Three gold-tone buttons do all the work
Margaret does not need embroidery, patterns or large logos to stand out.
The three round gold-tone button details sit along the asymmetric ribbed trim, adding a warmer contrast against each of the knit colours.
They are bold enough to make the top recognisable, while the rest of the set remains clean and understated.
Wide-leg trousers keep the whole outfit relaxed
The matching trousers fall in a straight, wide shape from the hip rather than tapering tightly around the leg.
That keeps the lower half comfortable and balances the longer, more sculptural shape of the jumper.
Practical side pockets complete the simple everyday design.
Comfortable enough for home, distinctive enough to wear out
Margaret works particularly well on the days when you want warmth and comfort but do not want to look as though you're wearing ordinary lounge clothes.
Wear it for lunch, travelling, an afternoon of shopping, visiting family or simply for a quiet day when you still want to feel nicely dressed.
Keep it casual with trainers or add loafers, flats or ankle boots when you want the same outfit to feel a little more polished.
Our favourite colours
Margaret comes in several shades. These are the four colours we would reach for first.
Beige — soft and elegant, with the gold-tone buttons standing out beautifully against the lighter knit.
Navy Blue — timeless and incredibly easy to wear, especially with cream, camel and tan accessories.
Burgundy — deep, warm and particularly beautiful through autumn and winter.
Light Blue — fresh and gentle, bringing a softer splash of colour to colder days.

What they're saying
“I've had several people ask me where this one came from. It's the buttons that make it look so different, but it's still incredibly easy to wear.”
Barbara H., 69 — Navy Blue
“I like the extra length of the jumper because I feel much more comfortable around my hips. The beige also looks lovely with my camel coat.”
Maureen P., 73 — Beige
“The burgundy is a really rich colour and the trousers are very comfortable. I wore it for most of a long train journey and it still looked smart when I arrived.”
Lillian R., 67 — Burgundy
