FAQs

What material is the Paulo Due Trouser Suit made from?

The suit is crafted from a soft stretch suiting fabric, consisting of 75% Polyester, 20% Viscose, and 5% Spandex. The lining is 100% Polyester.

Can I machine wash this suit?

Yes, this suit is fully machine washable for your convenience. We recommend using a gentle cycle with cold water and a mild detergent.

What is the inside leg measurement of the trousers?

The trousers have an inside leg measurement of 31.5 inches (80cm).

Are the jacket pockets functional?

Yes, the flapped slit pockets on the jacket are functional once you carefully remove the tacking stitches that secure them during shipping. There is also a decorative top pocket.

What occasions is this suit suitable for?

This timeless and versatile outfit is ideal for a variety of occasions, including professional workwear, weddings, and other special events.

Does the jacket have shoulder pads?

Yes, the jacket features structured shoulder pads, which contribute to its tailored and polished silhouette.

How do I choose the correct size?

The suit is available in UK women's dress sizes. For the best fit, refer to the provided size chart (if available) and consider that the fabric has a slight stretch for comfort. The model pictured is 5'7" (170cm) and is wearing a UK size 12.

Troubleshooting

My jacket pockets are sewn shut.

The flapped slit pockets on the jacket are designed with tacking stitches to maintain their shape during shipping and display. Carefully use a small pair of scissors or a seam ripper to remove these stitches to open the pockets. Be gentle to avoid damaging the fabric.

The suit has wrinkles after washing.

After machine washing, promptly remove the suit and hang it to dry. The fabric blend (Polyester, Viscose, Spandex) is designed to resist wrinkles, but hanging it immediately while still damp helps. If wrinkles persist, a light steaming or ironing on a low-medium setting (preferably inside out) will smooth them out.

The trousers feel too long or too short.

The trousers have a standard inside leg measurement of 31.5" (80cm). If this length isn't ideal for your height or preferred footwear, consider consulting a professional tailor for hemming or lengthening services to achieve your perfect fit.

The fabric feels stiff after washing.

Ensure you are using a gentle cycle and mild detergent. Avoid overloading the washing machine. If stiffness occurs, it might be due to detergent residue; a second rinse cycle might help. Fabric softener can also be used, but is generally not necessary for this fabric blend.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comfortable stretch fabric allows for ease of movement
  • Fully machine washable for convenient and easy care
  • Elegant, tailored design suitable for various occasions
  • Flattering high-waist and wide-leg trouser silhouette
  • Durable material blend with a soft feel

Cons

  • Specific marble-effect button may not suit all personal styles
  • Standard inside leg length might require hemming for some individuals
  • Flapped pockets require careful removal of tacking stitches to open

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

This suit is ready to wear straight out of the package. For new garments, it's often beneficial to steam or lightly iron before the first wear to remove any creases from packaging. Ensure that the flapped slit pockets on the jacket are opened by carefully snipping and removing the tacking stitches if you wish to use them. The decorative top pocket is not functional.

Compatibility

The neutral grey color and classic tailoring of this suit make it highly compatible with a wide range of accessories and undergarments:

  • Blouses & Tops: Pair with silk blouses, cotton shirts, knit tops, or camisoles in various colors and patterns.
  • Footwear: Suitable for heels, elegant flats, or even stylish loafers, depending on the occasion.
  • Accessories: Complement with scarves, statement necklaces, belts (the trousers have belt loops), and handbags to personalize your look.

Care

One of the key benefits of this suit is its ease of care:

  1. Machine Wash: The suit is fully machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with cold water to maintain fabric integrity and color.
  2. Detergent: Use a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
  3. Drying: Hang to dry immediately after washing to minimize wrinkles. If using a dryer, tumble dry on a low heat setting for a very short duration, then remove and hang while slightly damp.
  4. Ironing: If needed, iron on a low to medium heat setting. For best results and to protect the fabric, iron inside out or use a pressing cloth.
  5. Storage: Hang the jacket and trousers on appropriate hangers to maintain their shape and prevent creasing.
