A few helpful answers.

Which fabric should I choose?

Choose Italian Microjersey for smooth drape, flexible stretch and easy travel care. Premium Merino brings natural warmth and breathability for cooler days. Each product page lists its own fabric and care details.

How should I wear my top?

Choose an easy, untucked top that finishes around the high hip, below the waistband. Soft knits, fluid blouses and loose shirts work beautifully with the tapered leg. Finish with ballet flats, summer loafers or sneakers.

Does the pant have pockets?

Yes. The Basque Pant has pockets, an elasticised shaped waistband and the signature ankle pleat.

Should I choose Regular or Tall?

Use the height guide as a starting point, then consider your leg length and preferred finish. Tall adds length to the black Microjersey style. If you are between lengths, our team can help you choose.

Will Microjersey need ironing after travel?

No ironing is required. It packs flat and dries quickly. After washing, hang it to dry away from direct sunlight and follow the garment care label.

What about delivery and returns?

Delivery charges depend on your destination and order. Review the delivery information and returns policy before ordering. Returns conditions apply; our team can help with any questions.
