We found a £120 alternative to Cat Deeley's £600 Chanel-inspired two-piece

Cat Deeley’s This Morning wardrobe knows no sartorial bounds, as the presenter wowed fans in yet another stand out outfit on Monday 13 May. Her exact outfit was a stunning Navy Crochet Contrast Trim Cardigan, , and the matching Navy Crochet Contrast Trim Mini Skirt, , both from Self Portrait.

Although we’ve been coveting Cat’s knitted two-piece, its £610 price tag may be a little out of budget for most of us, which is why we set our sights on a more affordable option courtesy of Goelia. The Knitted Crop Jacket And Skirt Two-Piece Suit, , is a great alternative, giving the same chic quiet luxury look as Cat’s without breaking the bank.

The Goelia set comes in a choice of three colours, red, white and navy, with the navy version most closely resembling Cat’s Self Portrait ensemble. Just like the This Morning presenter’s look, the Goelia set includes a matching jacket and skirt in a knitted material, with details that are reminiscent of a classic Chanel tweed suit.

Both the jacket and skirt have elegant white piping around the hems and edges, including across the two chest pockets that are a staple of Chanel’s classic tweed jackets. It also has gold button fastenings up the front of the jacket, with a boxy silhouette that gives it a clean, sophisticated look.

The skirt features a slight A-line shape and high-waisted fit, with a slightly longer mini length that makes it versatile enough to be worn anywhere from the office to evening drinks. The complete set is made from a stretchy knit which hangs beautifully and gives you plenty of comfort and movement.

Shoppers have been raving about the set, with one saying: “Very well made and terrific price point. Can carry from fall into spring. Unfortunately the color was off for my redhead skin but I wanted to love it.”

Another wrote: “Super soft, smooth, comfortable fabric, elegant color, love it a lot.” Others did mention the material is slightly thick, suggesting it's better suited for autumn or winter – although with our unpredictable UK weather there’s a high chance you can wear it all year round!

If you did want a more lightweight knitted two-piece, this ASOS Design Boucle Button Front Cardigan, , and Knitted Mini Skirt Co-Ord In Cream, (was £24), are a great option. Although the set comes in white, rather than navy, it has a similar look with a jacket-style knitted cardigan with dark trim and a white knitted mini skirt.
