Paulo Due 2 Piece Trouser Suit - Black - 16

This Paulo Due trouser suit is highly versatile. It's perfect for formal events like weddings (as a guest or mother of the bride), professional work environments, business meetings, and other special occasions where a sophisticated and polished look is desired.

The suit is made from a soft suiting fabric, specifically polyester, which features a gentle stretch for comfort and a sleek, tailored finish.

The jacket features flapped slit pockets which are functional but are typically sewn shut with a temporary tacking stitch for presentation. You can carefully snip these stitches to open them. There is also a decorative top pocket.

Care instructions should be followed from the garment's label, but generally, polyester suits benefit from gentle machine washing in cold water or dry cleaning. Avoid high heat during washing and drying to preserve the fabric's quality and shape.

The wide-leg trousers have an inside leg measurement of 31.5 inches (80 cm), making them suitable for pairing with both heels and flats depending on your height.

The suit is designed to flatter a range of body types. We recommend selecting your usual UK dress size. The model, 5'7" (170cm) and wearing a UK size 12, gives an indication of fit.

Yes, both the jacket and trousers are versatile pieces. The jacket can be paired with other trousers, skirts, or dresses, while the wide-leg trousers can be styled with various tops for different looks.

Hang the suit immediately. Use a garment steamer on a low setting or hang it in a steamy bathroom for 15-20 minutes to relax the fabric. Avoid direct high heat from an iron, which can damage polyester.

The jacket's flapped slit pockets are often sewn shut with a temporary tacking stitch for shipping and presentation. Carefully snip these stitches with small scissors to open them for functional use. Be cautious not to cut the actual pocket fabric.

The inside leg measures 31.5" (80cm). If this length is unsuitable for your height or preferred footwear, the trousers can be easily altered by a professional tailor. Consider the heel height of your typical shoes when deciding on alterations.

Ensure you are washing the suit on a gentle cycle with cold water and using a mild detergent. Avoid over-drying, and consider air-drying or tumble-drying on a very low heat setting. A fabric softener specifically designed for synthetic materials can also help.

Always hang the jacket on a sturdy hanger that supports the shoulder line. Avoid wire hangers, which can distort the shape over time. If the shoulder pads have shifted, gently adjust them back into place.
