Persimmon Modern Japanese Dress Set 'Kakiha'

The set built around a skirt the colour of persimmon The skirt picks a colour you don't see often. Kakiha pairs the cream Peter Pan-collar blouse — short puffed sleeves, a ribbon at the throat — with a long skirt in warm persimmon orange, laced high at the waist and edged in lace at the hem. The orange is the whole reason to reach for this one. The blouse is a light cotton-feel weave with a pin-tucked front; the skirt is a fuller fabric that holds its sweep, the corset lacing pulling the waist in before it opens out. Cream up top, persimmon below, lace at the hem — a clean colour break that makes the skirt the focus. Persimmon is the warm, autumnal note in the colour range — earthier than red, softer than rust — and it pairs naturally with the cream rather than fighting it. As a coordinated two-piece it's an outfit out of the bag, and the skirt works on its own with a knit too. Wear it with low boots or Mary Janes and tights as it cools, sneakers to bring it down to everyday. It suits anyone drawn to a warm, unusual skirt colour over the usual black or navy. For the woman who wants the set in warm persimmon. Available S to XL — we recommend choosing one size up from your usual size.
