Celine Drawstring Cashmere Set Black

This is the Celine Drawstring Cashmere Set in black, a matching cashmere top and drawstring trouser from Celine Homme. It's for someone who wants loungewear built from the same material as the house's knitwear rather than from cotton fleece.

Cashmere is what separates this from an ordinary set: it's dramatically softer and warmer for its weight than cotton or wool jersey, and it drapes rather than holds a shape, so the trouser falls straight from the drawstring waist and the top sits close without clinging. Black keeps it understated enough to wear out, not just at home — the trouser passes for a relaxed tailored pant with loafers or clean sneakers, and the top works on its own under a coat. Offered here in Large.

Against the fleece and jersey sets that make up most of this category, the difference is material and the way it ages: cashmere softens with wear instead of pilling into something you stop reaching for. Buy it if you want a set you'd actually leave the house in.
