A SUIT IS FOREVER in
Long live the suit. And how could it be otherwise? Just think: the first women's model was made in 1885 by the British tailor John Redfern for the Princess of Wales. And so the suit ceased to be a prerogative of the male universe. Also because it immediately found great acclaim in the other half of the sky. The only flaw, if you can define it that way, was its extremely structured line. Question resolved by the legendary Coco Chanel, who in 1971 presented her interpretation thus scoring one of her (many) best shots.
FOR THE DAY
Do you really want to wear a suit to start the day in style? Bet on a model that proves to be suitable for the most diverse situations: a business appointment or with friends, a simple walk, a series of errands to run. Maybe even some small unexpected event, the kind that happen often and willingly.
Jacket and trousers, slim fit. The jacket with double-breasted closure and to be left strictly open. To defuse. A delicate print, perhaps floral or geometric, we like. Below, just a vest: the mischievous note never hurts. Your favorite sneakers on your feet and an it-bag in your hands. As for colors, maximum freedom. But neutral shades, together with white, are always the safe choice: how about the camel color, which is very popular?
FOR THE OFFICE
The suit jacket and trousers, of course, is also perfect for the office. Like the one with a pencil skirt, after all.
Classic and masculine cut, soft fit, an infallible color like gray or blue. Or black, sure. If you prefer more vivacity, go for pastels. Underneath, a soft turtleneck if it's winter or a simple t-shirt if the temperatures are higher. The shirt is a little obvious. White sneakers are the chic and cool touch, the alternatives to be promoted with flying colors are moccasins and lace-ups. If it's a special day, make way for the pumps.
FOR AN INTERVIEW
A business suit for a job interview is always a good idea. With an ultra-classic model, however, you run the risk of homologating yourself. The selectors also pay attention to the candidates' outfits, so knowing how to distinguish yourself – always in the name of class – becomes a precious extra weapon.
So how about opting for a pencil suit + fitted jacket? Preferring a sober but impactful pattern like the pinstripe to the solid colour. An interesting alternative could be a tweed suit, for an intriguing retro twist. A shirt with a contrasting collar and cuffs and/or a tie are also welcome. Shoes chapter: yes to slingbacks, t-bars, Mary Janes, loafers with heels.
FOR THE APERITIF
Treat yourself to a suit even for informal, light moments: why not? Indeed, it is precisely in these cases that the most creative interpretations come into play. Not without a playful twist. Spotlights on colour, above all. And also on those timeless fantasies that always manage to bring joy. Primarily tartan and check, maxi stripes, optical prints.
For the aperitif, the idea of a suit with a pleated or wraparound miniskirt, which recalls the collegiate style, is also tantalizing. The sock in sight becomes almost obligatory, but finds a worthy opponent in the Parisian.
FOR A DINNER
How to choose the suit for a dinner? Undoubtedly the context matters a lot, but there are solutions that we could define as transversal. And which prove to be perfect for elegant or more relaxed dinners, even with friends. At the top of the ranking we put the suit with palazzo pants and tuxedo jacket. One-color, but in a shade that distances itself from the more classic ones.
Fuchsia triumphs, we know it well by now. But - for example - green, red, burgundy and electric blue are also very interesting options.
FOR THE EVENING
It depends on the night. If it is a particular occasion, for example an anniversary or a celebration with loved ones, minimalism wins. And if you want an example, we put a black velvet trouser suit on the plate. But if it's a worldly situation, one in which everything is allowed, then the situation changes.
The suit reveals its most seductive, even transgressive side. Which can materialize in different ways: for example with animal patterns, rhinestones and sequins, flared trousers, adherent fabrics. Or hems that boldly shorten. go wild!
FOR GRADUATION
A tailored suit, with cigarette or palazzo trousers and a classic cut jacket. Simple, without frills or particularly… creative touches. The only concession, the golden buttons.
A solid and refined color: aqua green, blue, wisteria, powder pink. Or 100% white. If you prefer maximum sobriety, a neutral color. But in all cases, give yourself a nice heel, especially if it's YOUR goal!
