Carla Zampatti Suits: How to Build a Pant Suit From the House Tailoring

Carla Zampatti does not sell its suits as sets. Each jacket, pant and skirt is a separate piece cut from the same crepe, so you build the suit yourself and choose the jacket and the leg that suit you. The jackets come in black, navy and ivory, with fitted waists, shawl collars and jewel buttons; the pants come as bootleg, wide leg, low waist and slim. Because the colours and fabric match exactly, any jacket pairs with any pant in the same shade.

Key facts

• Fabric: 71% acetate, 29% polyester crepe across jackets and pants, so pieces match.
• Colours: black, navy and ivory in Autumn 2026.
• Sizes: AU 4 to 16 for both jackets and pants, equal to UK sizes.
• Made in: Australia for the Autumn 2026 crepe tailoring.
• Care: jackets are dry clean only; most crepe pants can be hand washed cold.

The jackets

There are four jacket shapes this season. The Black Crepe Fitted Waist Jacket and the Ivory Crepe Fitted Waist Jacket have three buttons that pull in the waist and sharp lapels: the classic Carla Zampatti line. The Black and Ivory Crepe Shawl Collar Jackets are longer, with a single jewel button. The Black Crepe Crop Jacket stops at the waist with a high neck, and the Navy Crepe Scarf Jacket comes with a detachable scarf that falls in a waterfall drape.

The pants

The Black Crepe Bootleg Pant sits high and flares slightly at the hem. The Black and Ivory Crepe High Waisted Wide Leg Pants fall straight and wide with pressed creases. The Navy Crepe Low Waist Pant is an archive Carla Zampatti shape with a semi wide leg. From the classics, the Black Crepe Cigarette Pant and the Black Crepe Classic Slim Pant give a narrower line.

How Carla Zampatti suits fit

The jackets are cut close through the waist and fitted at the shoulder. Choose the jacket size by your shoulders and bust, and the pant size by your hips; because the pieces are sold separately, you can take a different size in each. The pants are cut long, so check the length against the heel you will wear. Our size guide converts AU to UK, US and EU.

Frequently asked questions

Does Carla Zampatti sell suits as a set?

No. Jackets, pants and skirts are sold separately in matching crepe, so you choose the jacket and the leg, and a different size in each if you need it.

Do Carla Zampatti jacket and pant colours match?

Yes. Jackets and pants in the same shade are cut from the same acetate and polyester crepe, so black matches black and navy matches navy.

Can I wear a Carla Zampatti suit to a wedding?

Yes. A navy crepe suit is a polished wedding outfit for a guest and for the mother of the bride. Avoid ivory unless the couple welcomes it.

What is the best Carla Zampatti suit for work?

The Black Crepe Fitted Waist Jacket with the Black Crepe Bootleg Pant. It is sharp, it does not crease, and the pieces work separately with the rest of a work wardrobe.
