Every woman owns one; whether it’s sharp and sophisticated or slouchy and chic, the trouser suit is a wardrobe workhorse we couldn’t be without.
Shaking off the corporate code and embracing all things extraordinary this season, the formal two-piece we all know and love has been remodelled for the office and beyond. As seen in boucle kick-flares at Chanel, patterns and prints at Marni, sleek and slouchy at Max Mara and powerfully pinstriped at Marc Jacobs, designers have reworked the traditional suit with aplomb. Gucci revamped the workwear essential with an overhaul of print, whilst Elie Saab restructured the tuxedo with sharper lines and more luxurious textures. Bold hues of red and olive green were seen at Giorgio Armani and Givenchy, lending strength and individuality to a once all-black ensemble. Remaining a wearable essential with a little extra punch, team your new era version with sneakers and a t-shirt for a more contemporary mood. Keep your hair and beauty feminine, with wispy locks and dewy skin for a fresh outlook on a timeless classic.
