  • OLDER ladies who like simple. striking, tailored clothes might well be interested in this trouser-suit - especially because older ladies are often busy, travelling ladies and this outfit is easily packable, crease-resistant, and trouble-free. Comes in bigger sizes too. I like it in navy with emerald and white, though it's available in other colourways. Wear it with or without trousers. By Lerose, £24.95.
