Suit Yourself

Forget borrowing from the boys. The classic pantsuit is just as much hers as it is his. Thanks to the effort of radical women like Charlotte Rampling and Katharine Hepburn who bucked the trends so we can ever-so comfortably romp around our city in an oversized tweed ensemble. After playing dress up in the the masculine form for long enough we’ve come to create a more bespoke version of the tailored silhouette. An essential evolution that embraces our woman swagger yet is ultra-functional in all aspects of modern life. Basically we want to have our cake and eat it too. Sensual, hip and powerful all in one bite. What you get is a delicious forever ensemble. One that has strong vitality for daily rotation. Be it in the boardroom, coffee shop or simply at home, this new-age mix between business attire and leisurewear has us looking polished every step of our on-the-go schedule. Here’s a few hacks on how to make it work for you.

GO OFFBEAT

The fun is in the hi/lo fusion. We love Ukrainian fashion director Julie Pelipas play on serious suiting with a comfortable pair of high-tech sneakers or pool slides. Other strangely perfect combinations include a graphic tee under the double-breasted blazer or a shiny bag super-boost.

TOUCH-ME TEXTURES

Instead of crisp shirting go for a more feminine feel with rich knits and second-skin skivvys underneath. You’ll get a scholarly rebel look. On the other hand you can have the best of both worlds by layering a knit and button-up together. If so we recommend a formula working out to in: blazer, cardigan, shirt over skivvy.  

REMIX IT

Seventies spirit gets a modern spin. Manifest ensembles in a warm earthy colour palette or heritage patterns. Inspired by the era of freedom, so too should our suits allow us the space to breath and flow. Build a long, fluid silhouette with subtly flared trousers.

DON’T FORGET THE ROMANCE  

To switch your tailored set into a more sundown embracing look, add a delicate undertone by wearing a silky camisole or slip dress below your blazer. Finish the yin and yang look with a classic pair of points rather than your daywear sneakers.
