Suit Up for Spring

Welcome to the final instalment of our Spring style series: Your New Season Guide to Tailored & Timeless Style!

This blog is celebrating a wardrobe hero that is making a powerful comeback: The Suit.

But this isn’t the stuffy, corporate suiting of the past.

This season, suits are all about incredible tailoring, a nod to the distinct ’70s aesthetic, and a fresh focus on the colour blue.

The best part?

These pieces are designed to be broken up and integrated into your existing wardrobe, offering endless styling possibilities.

Let’s get into how you can make these amazing new suits work for you!

The New Rules of Suiting

Spring’s suiting is all about impeccable fit and a sense of effortless cool.

Look for pieces that are highly tailored, offering a sharp silhouette, and don’t be afraid to embrace a touch of nostalgia with a ’70s-inspired cut.

Or 80’s inspired fabric!

How to Style the New Suit Styles:

• The Full Suit, Modernised: The Carla Zampatti suit and the Husk Lily Blazer and Pant are prime examples of the season’s beautiful, tailored suits. For a complete and polished look, style them with a simple silk camisole or a fine knit top underneath. The Anna Thomas blue suit with cropped pant offers a modern twist, perfect for showcasing a stylish shoe, like the Peter Sheppard Chie Mihara Kelis navy sandal.
• Embrace the 80’s Vibe: The Leo Lin metallic blue suit has a distinct ’80s feel. Lean into this by pairing it with a simple, high-neck top and platform shoes, or even a pair of fun, oversized sunglasses for a touch of retro glamour. The key is to keep the rest of the look clean and let the suit do the talking.
• Playing with Proportions: The Wynn Hamlyn grey suit with shorts is the ultimate expression of Spring suiting. It’s chic, contemporary, and perfect for warmer weather. This type of suit works beautifully with a simple tee or tank top and a stylish sneaker or sandal for a smart-casual look.

Integrate, Don’t Isolate: Making Suit Pieces Work for Your Wardrobe

The true beauty of a well-tailored suit lies in its versatility.

The jacket and trousers are not a set that must always be worn together.

This is where you can truly get creative and maximise your wardrobe.

How to Integrate Suit Pieces:

• The Blazer as a Wardrobe Staple: A blazer can be the ultimate workhorse in your wardrobe. Throw it over a floral dress for an unexpected and stylish contrast. It can instantly elevate a simple jeans and t-shirt outfit or add a sophisticated touch to a silk skirt.
• The Trousers, Your New Go-To: Cropped trousers or pants with a 70’s flare can be styled with almost anything. Pair them with a tucked-in t-shirt for a casual weekend look, or with a chunky knit for a cosy-chic outfit. They also look fantastic with a simple blouse and classic flats for a polished office ensemble.
• Accessorise to Personalise: Don’t forget the power of accessories to transform a suit. A simple, modern pendant necklace, or classic pearl earrings, can add a personal touch. Try different style totes to create style contrasts. A relaxed tote to soften a sharply tailored suit or a structured one to elevate a casual suit.

The Power of Blue

Blue is a key colour trend for the season, and it’s no wonder why.

It is a versatile hue that can be classic and modern, serious and playful.

From a deep navy to a vibrant cobalt, there’s a shade of blue for everyone.

A blue suit is a fantastic investment piece that will never go out of style.
