Carbon Grey Ribbed Loose Fit Tee Shorts Set Women UK
The Carbon Grey Ribbed Set That Makes Poly-Viscose Drape Feel Like a Luxury Detail
Not all ribbed sets feel the same — and the Carbon Grey Ribbed Loose Fit Tee and Shorts Set makes its difference immediately clear. The 75% polyester, 20% viscose, 5% elastane blend gives this a softer, more fluid quality than a fully synthetic ribbed set, with loose-fit proportions on both the tee and shorts creating a relaxed, effortless co-ord that feels noticeably more considered than its price point suggests. With practical pockets and a comfortable elastic waist, this is the easy-wearing grey set that becomes a genuine wardrobe regular.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the viscose content make this set feel different?
Viscose is a semi-natural fibre that adds a softer, more fluid drape compared to fully synthetic fabrics. The 20% viscose in this blend gives the ribbed fabric a smoother, more luxurious feel against the skin and a slightly more elegant hang than a standard polyester-only ribbed set.
Is carbon grey different from regular grey?
Yes — carbon grey is a darker, richer tone that sits closer to charcoal than standard mid-grey. It reads as more sophisticated and versatile than lighter greys, working just as well with black as with white and cream tones.
Is the loose fit flattering or shapeless?
The loose fit creates a relaxed, comfortable silhouette without being shapeless. The ribbed texture adds structure and visual interest that prevents the fit from looking simply oversized — it has a considered, effortless quality that works well across different body types.
Are the pockets on the shorts functional?
Yes — the side pockets are fully functional and designed to hold everyday essentials like a phone or keys. A genuinely practical detail in a casual co-ord shorts set.
Can I wear this set to work from home?
Absolutely — the carbon grey colourway reads as quietly professional, and the ribbed texture gives this set a polished quality that's perfectly appropriate for video calls and home working. Far more considered than a plain jersey sweat set.
