A velvet jacket and wide-leg trousers can create a dressed-up outfit that is easy to make your own. First consider the waistline, then the volume of the legs and the details that catch the eye. Opéra, Montaigne and the Râ necklace provide three starting points.
Balance a fitted waist with a generous cut
The Opéra jacket defines the waist through a fitted cut and asymmetric lines. Montaigne trousers bring volume through a high waist, two front pleats and a wide leg. Keep a clear reference at the waist while allowing the trousers to give the silhouette movement.
When trying the outfit, look from the front and side, then sit down. The jacket should allow movement and the trousers should stay comfortable at the waist. Wear the shoes you plan to use: their height changes how the trouser hem falls. Choose an outfit you like in motion as well as in the mirror.

Give the velvet room to stand out
Opéra is made in hammered cotton-and-polyester velvet with a silk lining. Its graphic collar and jewel button already give it character. A simple layer underneath keeps attention on the texture and neckline.
Montaigne trousers contain 97% cotton and 3% elastane. This pairing therefore combines different fabrics: compare the detail photographs to understand their textures and how much presence each piece brings.

Choose jewellery around the collar
The Râ necklace has a rectangular crystal pendant on a chain punctuated with metal beads. Its 18-carat gold-plated brass brings a gold-tone finish. Start with this single necklace so you can assess the effect.
Position the pendant so it remains visible rather than partly concealed by the jacket. Try it over a high neckline or observe its position on bare skin with a lower neckline. Length and drape should suit you; ask the Maison for any missing measurement before ordering.
Adapt the outfit to your day
For appointments, a plain top and shoes you can walk in comfortably let the jacket structure the outfit. For dinner, keep the same trousers and give the necklace more prominence. A different neckline can change the balance.
Asymmetry draws the eye towards the upper body. Before adding accessories, check that collar, button and pendant remain distinct. You can also wear the necklace with another outfit and leave the jacket as the sole focal point.
Prepare your order
Check size, colour and availability on each product page. Front, side and detail views help assess volume. For advice, give the Maison your usual size and the measurements relevant to your question.
