You can call me overly obsessed with the trouser suit style and I will agree with you.
I think there is no other style that makes a women look more powerful and confident, attractive and stylish than while wearing a full suit. When I spend my days at work in a suit, I never feel more comfortable or confident. In fact, I often get asked by my clients if they can try the look as well and this inspired me to write a few words about this great style option.
It’s true that trouser/skirt suits are often associated with the corporate world. But there is now a variety of cuts and fits, relaxed silhouettes and fabrics that go way beyond those standards. You can either choose standard colours―navy blue, grey or black, or you can choose pastels.
Either way, there are ways to wear the trouser suit in a rather relaxed manner instead of formal: worn with a simple white t-shirt or with a sporty sweater, the suit will be instantly more relaxed than styling it with a classic shirt.
A summery fabric such as linen would make the trouser suit work perfectly for everyday wear. I would add a silk camisole top, a strappy sandal and a rafia bag to complete the look.
The trouser fit is very important when choosing a suit. You will need to try to find what is best for your body type. If you are hesitant on choosing a certain style, you can always opt for an elasticated waistband. The baggy effect that will make will create a more a relaxed and very comfortable outfit.
Here is some style inspiration to get you started…
