Update Your Pantsuit With These Tips For Summer 2015

SUMMER 2015 SUITS

Although the habitual pantsuit might bring a dated, boxy jacket paired with shapeless slacks to mind, Summer 2015 has seen the classic suit transform from frumpy to fabulous. With daring new silhouettes, metallic buttons and funky trousers, the suit has been officially updated for the season ahead. Whether you want to bring polish and sophistication into your work wardrobe or simply swap your little white dress for a sultry white pantsuit, here are a few on-trend ways to bring your suiting style into summer.

Introduce colour: Who says that pantsuits need to come in dull, dreary shades of charcoal or light brown? To keep your look adventurous and chic, turn to bold shades of lemon yellow, as seen on the airstrip at Tod’s.

Wear Your Suit With Flats: Trade in your habitual black pumps for embellished flats in the season’s bold blue shades, to make a colourful, casual fashion statement.

Combine loose trousers with a fitted blazer: While skinny pants and a skintight cropped jacket may not feel comfortable for a long day at work, a mix of silhouettes is always fascinating and original. Experiment with outlines by styling your flowing trousers with a fitted blazer, or pairing pleated straight-legged pants with an oversized topper.

Pair colour with a basic white blouse: To balance out the usage of colour in your newly revamped suit, add a hint of white. From a simple cotton blouse to a V-neck tee on a Saturday afternoon, the season’s new suit can be easily worn everywhere from a Monday meeting to a rooftop deck.

Add statement garnishing to bring visual interest into your look: Keep your suit looking feminine and fashion-forward by bringing garnishing into the mix. From a waist-cinching belt to a collar necklace, the accessorizing options are truly endless. Whatever you do, leave the sagacious shoes and thick eyeglasses at home- this season’s suit is beyond doubt more sexy secretary than dowdy librarian!

Wear a jewel toned blazer with a crop top for a night out: While the habitual suit might bring another meeting in the boardroom to mind, the updated suit is a mix of business and pleasure. Take off your faded grey jacket, and slip on a jewel toned blazer instead. On the airstrip at DSquared2, a brilliant ruby red suit made a splash, accessorized with a flirty crop top. For a model worthy look, trade in your white silk blouse for a bandeau top for a Friday night out.
