1980s Devernois Paris Midnight Floral Skirt Suit

An outfit that never asks you to choose between elegance and ease. This Devernois Paris skirt suit offers both.

Dating from the 1980s, it combines the refined tailoring for which Devernois became known with a beautifully balanced botanical print that almost resembles a painter’s canvas. Delicate roses and wildflowers unfold across a rich midnight navy background, giving the ensemble a quiet elegance that reveals itself more with every look.

The structured short-sleeved jacket and straight skirt create a polished silhouette that feels effortlessly feminine without ever appearing overdone.

Style the suit with cream or navy slingbacks for Goodwood Revival, a summer wedding or an elegant garden party, or wear the jacket separately with tailored white trousers or dark denim to bring timeless French character into a contemporary wardrobe.
