the power suit
D
ressing like a man is
definitely on every fashion
obsessed woman's to do
list. The androgynous trend
hit us hard in 2013 and it
still has a presence on runways and red
carpets the world over.
For some four hundred years, suits of
matching coat, trousers, and waistcoats
have been in and out of fashion. The
tailored suit is one trend that comes and
doesn't go; it just keeps redefining itself,
same suit dashed with a personal touch.
When shopping for a power suit, it's a
good idea to seek one of good quality
which fits perfectly. It's no sec ret that
clothes aren't free and that is why they
need to be used to their full capacity. Back
then, black, tan and navy would be your
best bet when making an investment, but
colors have taken over and trend setters
are running with the idea of a brighter
suit. The white power suit expresses the
idea of an unapologetic, fashion forward
approach. Ditch the typical high collar
silk shirt for a bustier or crop top, throw
on matching accessories and leave the
blazer unbuttoned for the festive season.
Once the seasonal insanity is over,
project a sense of self-worth and
authority by pairing it up with a crisp
white tailored shirt and matching pointy
heels. Cropped or corporate, own your
power suit.
