Les ensembles
Simplifier le quotidien sans renoncer au style, c’est tout l’art du total look. L’élégance en un seul geste.
Mix and Match
You don't have to think of your suit as a set: today, top and bottoms are easily worn separately. The jacket transforms into a blazer and allows you to go to work in jeans without your style appearing too casual. Tailored trousers, on the other hand, can be worn without a jacket. They are a key piece that can be relied upon to appear elegant without overdoing it. Worn over a sophisticated knit, finely belted, tailored trousers adapt to all circumstances provided you have identified the cut that suits your body shape. Are you tall? Wide-leg trousers are popular. Choose high-waisted trousers to accentuate your waist. At Comptoir des Cotonniers, we offer our iconic Yvonne trousers, in flat-pleated flannel, to wear with a double-breasted blazer and a silk shirt for a total business look.
Are you small? A pair of tapered 7/8 pants—like our Marguerite style—is your best friend. Good news: they're so well-designed that they flatter all figures, from the slimmest to the fullest. Skirts offer another wide selection: flowing, flared skater skirts, pencil skirts, wrap skirts, and more. It's up to you to decide whether you prefer the rigor of a solid color or the whimsy of a print. For bottoms, don't overlook the potential of culottes—in flannel, they pair well with many jackets—and Bermuda shorts, ideal for energizing a silhouette. In summer, the shorts suit combines the rigor of a suit with the casualness of bare legs. Finally, the top is important. A masculine shirt seems the most obvious choice for a formal total look. Try it in silk; its delicacy will highlight your femininity. Not forgetting the possibility of a ruffled stand-up collar shirt, a denim shirt or a simple white t-shirt.
