How To Ace The Coordinating Suit Trend

You’d rather be lounging at the beach or sipping drinks by the pool, but for occasions when you can’t don swim-and-sarong, linen suits have your back. If you want classic tailoring made summer-friendly, look to a white or beige linen suit – think the easy breezy vibes of AERE and Assembly Label. If you can’t bear the thought of sleeves on a sunny day, sleeveless blazers and linen vests are about to become your new BFFs. Team with matching trousers and polished slides for a summery spin on the matching suit.

We’re talking the 9-5, office chic look here. You want to go for monochrome or an earthy coloured suit – look to designers like CAMILLA AND MARC and Shona Joy for timeless tailoring you’ll wear again and again. Popping a fitted turtleneck underneath your blazer makes the outfit classic yet comfortable. If you want to add a little more definition to your silhouette, cinch it at the waist with a belt. Grab your favourite tote and pair of heels, and you’re ready to own that boardroom.

Some people dread having back-to-back weekend plans, you are not one of them. You’re the social butterfly who has multiple group chats going at a time and thrives in social settings. For you, we’re suggesting a suit that's fun and bold. Go for a bright coloured pant and blazer combo, adding a cropped tank underneath. Your comfiest heels are your go-to choice of footwear, and your cross body-bag is packed with the girls’ night essentials you need.

You’re more of an effortless kind of girl. When you make plans, you make sure they’re convenient and don’t take up too much of your energy. You’re usually looking for the easiest way to make your casual clothes feel a little more polished for a catch up with the girls, so sneakers are your go-to choice of footwear. Your outfit is simple; a relaxed suit or short sleeve jacket in your preferred tone with a staple tank underneath. You believe in the capsule wardrobe and know your linen suit pants go with everything in your wardrobe, even the casual weekend staples.
