The internet has been filled with this new fashion trend for some time. I really like the new twinset trend but the majority of them available to buy have a really cropped tank top to pair with the cardigan. I’m not fond of the idea of showing off my midriff at 58! Even in my younger years with a body in far better condition, I would have been way too shy to show it off.
I found this one that actually covers my torso on sale at New Look and I’m really pleased with it. In my favourite colour too! This twinset at a brilliant price of under twenty pounds comes in either black, cream, blue or the beige colour that I’ve chosen.
Now, I’m quite short in the body but the trousers I’m wearing are a regular waist height. A pair of high waisted trousers will look even better.
A twinset or worn separately, it was the sleeve detail that caught my eye
The cardigan has deep cuffs, I wear them tucked up to create a slight puff to the sleeve, but I’ve dropped the cuff here so that you can see how deep it is. Both parts of the twinset are of good quality and compared to some high prices I looked at online. I feel this is a really good buy.
The little tank top part of the twinset is ok. The straps are wide enough to hide bra straps and it’s not too revealing. I was hoping for better weather to shoot these photos. What’s going on? It was really warm this time last year! I’ve got so used to taking photos in the local country parks too. But I’m looking forward to heading into London.
I’ve paired the twinset with cream trousers. My favourite spring colours. I’ve had these trousers for a good few years now and love them. I think a good pair of cream trousers make a good staple item to have in your wardrobe. So easy to dress up or wear casually like here. I think the twinset will look great with jeans though too. I paired the twinset with my black jeans and that works well too.
The only pair of sandals that I have in my wardrobe right now is the Valentino dupes from last year. I wore these for that hint of gold. All my other sandals are still packed away. I’m looking forward to changing the wardrobe over but I think it’s still too early. This time last year I was wearing shorts! I love these sandals though. They go with everything.
Beige, cream and gold are my dream pairings
Accessories maketh the outfit I think and determines what type of look you’re going for. I’ve used my Nordgreen watch with the new gold link strap. The bag, from last year, adds a little contrast and ties the gold in with the gold hardware. Smart casual is my style every time.
So. Overall I’m pretty impressed with my bargain find. I will be keeping an eye on New Look for further buys, definitely.
Keep you and yours safe and well xx

Beautiful twin set, Laurie. Looks nice and warm too.
It looks lovely on you, but I fear the top would be a bit too short for me. Thanks for linking with #pocolo

Thanks Suzanne. Yes, it just covers me but I’m a little shorter in the body than most. But I do feel the cardigan alone is worth it xx
This is such a lovely twin set Laurie! It goes with everything! I did look at those on Mango and was very tempted, but many were cropped. I love the length here and with the sweater , it looks so smart with your trousers!
Love those sandals too!
thanks for linking!

We think the same, Jess! I’ve seen so many that I like but the cami that goes underneath are just like bras. I’m not prepared to show off my body at 58 but thought this one worked well xx
Love the texture and sleeves of your twinset! I remember as a teen that twinsets suddenly became all the rage. I spent hours scouring the streets of Plymouth and ended up with a twinset in a weird blue from BHS which didn’t quite cut the mustard! Yours looks so classy and lux with the cream and gold accessories.

Thanks Gail. It was such a bargain find! xx
Such a lovely neutral outfit! I really like that knit, it’s a pretty pattern and works well with the two pieces together. The little touches of gold with the accessories are just perfect too! 🙂
Hope that you are having a good week! Starting to get some autumn weather here at last – nice and cool in the mornings and evenings.

The weather is finally starting to pick up Mica. The twinset was so worth the money. I’m wearing the cardigan nonstop xx
I love the neutral colour of this twinset! It looks amazing on you!

Thanks Laura. I’m really pleased with it xx
Laurie, I really love this twin set! When I first saw it on your YouTube haul video, I have been picturing the sleeveless piece layered on top of a white button down tunic for some reason. Or even over a shirt dress, it might be really cute. It is such a beautiful set and you have styled it beautifully in such a classic monochromatic look! Well done! Thanks for linking with me.

That is a brilliant idea Shelbee. Watch this space! I’m going to try that xx
Oooh, I am excited to see what you come up with!

You look fantastic, Laurie! I love twin sets too and yours is gorgeous. I did have a look on New Look after seeing your YouTube video. Unfortunately, I have a pet hate when the back of a jumper doesn’t match the front. Do you know what I mean? I want that lovely knitted pattern to carry all the way through. It really bugs me when it’s not lol! Otherwise I’d have been snapping it up in blue!
Hugs

Yes, I get what you mean Suzy. For price point though, I’m really pleased with it xx
I love the twinset, it’s been a while since I saw one on the racks in our neck of woods :). Love the cable knit feature on the sleeves and the tank top is of good proportions. I would never wear anything too short myself. The neutral colours are your favourites and you wear them so well.

You look fabulous in the twinset outfit, everything complements you, your colouring

Jewellery is a perfect choice . You look lovely, so put together and not over done , just
subtle but classy.

Thank you so much Pamela. I’m not going anywhere xx
That’s a lovely twinset and a great colour – suits you your colouring beautifully. I’m almost tempted as it’s a great bargain but have decided to hold back as Monday 12th April approaches and charity shops where I used to buy most of my clothes are open once more!
Author
Thanks so much Penny. Enjoy shopping! xx
I’ve been looking at cable cardigans but could find one I liked at my price point, love this on you, you’ve inspired me. I’ve ordered the cream and camel/beige to try.

Hi Sharon. Let me know what you think of it when it arrives.I love it as a twinset but I’ve been wearing the cardigan a lot on it’s own. Well worth the money I thought xx
How lovely that you found a twin set that suits your needs. I’d hate wearing a cropped top as well, so I’m hearing you on that one. I’d go for the blue one, which I’m sure doesn’t come as a surprise 🙂
Hasn’t the weather been truly fickle? I’m longing for a string of gorgeous Spring days! xxx

It’s another cold morning as I reply here Ann. Fearful for the plants now. Fingers crossed the weather picks up soon xx
It’s a lovely twinset. The colors al together are very elegant. I know about the weather, it’s so cold! Boring, I hate it. I hope you have a relaxed weekend.
