The pantsuit is back, but not like you’ve ever seen it before. Now there are bigger pants, stronger colors and—dare we say it?—chicer silhouettes. Here’s a short list of how to look great in your matchy-matchy outfit, plus some high-low options of how to get the look.
LONG JACKET
It was true in the 70’s, and it’s true now: When your blazer stretches down to the bottom of your rear end, you can hide a multitude of sins.
CROPPED
Even if you’re wearing a pantsuit for international lawyering up (see: Amal Clooney), you can still modernize the look. Here, she works it with a shorter trouser and boy-cut blazer.
BRIGHT
In case you haven’t noticed, the bright pantsuit is getting major social media traction. It’s also hitting the bricks—along with other super-brights including purple and green—on early adopters outside the recent Euro fashion shows.
EVENING
Jennifer Aniston, trendsetter: She rocked the evening pantsuit last year at the Critic’s Choice Awards. It must be karma that everyone’s wearing it now.
WIDE LEGS
It’s more comfortable than those skinny jeans and has a fun ’80s vibe. Presenting, the wide-leg pantsuit, here on the Tibi runway.
