There are two things I look for in the clothes I buy now, uncompromising craftsmanship and versatility; these are the foundations for creating a wardrobe of fewer, better things. This light-as-a-feather wool and cashmere suit from Nells Nelson is a perfect example. It’s casual enough to wear with sneakers and a tee for day, and chic enough to dress up at night. Plus the details in these pieces make the difference–the knit panel that runs down the back of the blazer sleeve creates a slim silhouette and allows for easy movement, the tabs near the pant hem give them a cool slouch. For the rest of October, designer Sisi Li is offering TFI readers 15% all purchases with the code FLAIRFALL at checkout on her site.
What am I wearing? The wool cashmere long blazer; wool cashmere tab pant; and for night I’ve paired them with the silk chiffon smock blouse and silk drape gilet.

Beautiful looks! Isn’t this what one would aspire to with a black suit? I love your sneakers in the day look as well the pair shown on her web site. Can you please tell me what they are? Thank you for the codes on such wonderful clothing this past week!

Love these pieces ! I have some earlier jackets from Sisi they all feel as comfortable as a sweater !
Sisi Li says
Thank you Brooke.

Love these looks and you look beautiful. I do always get a laugh about east coasters loving dressy sandals even in winter and west coasters who (like me) can’t wait to get on a pair of boots!

So so true!

Love the intentional post showcasing beautiful, versatile pieces. Question: I adore the Nili Lotion hoodie you posted, and I am wondering what your thoughts are on how this may fit on a petite build (5′ 3″, normal weight for height). It seems to be a ‘one size’ piece. Do you have access to this in multiple sizes?
Thank you! Peace & Blessings.

If you click on the thumbnail of the hoodie, it will take you to Net-a-porter’s site where they list the measurements below the item, Susan. Pretty oversized!

Thanks for answering Susan!

I absolutely fell in love with these pieces, especially the pants. However, the size 6 is sold out–and there doesn’t seem to be an alternate in black. Any suggestions? Will Nells Nelson be doing another black suit this winter? Thanks!
jennifer says
Hi Beryl, I spoke to Sisi and their warehouse needed to update inventory. They do have one pair of size 42 available. Grab them while you can!
Also note, if you are a 4/6 a size 40 will work (that is what I have).
