Suit Up! A Fresh Way To Wear This Workwear Staple
-
Photo credit: Bauer GriffinCommentsHere’s a fashion rule of thumb you can toss: suit pieces are meant to be worn together. It’s time to breathe new life into the matchy-matchy workplace suit by taking a cue from Naomi Watts, who breaks up her suit separates in a sophisticated, laid-back way. Get creative with the non-suit suit: pair a tailored blazer with printed pants or style a basic black jacket with a punchy pencil skirt. The result? An unexpectedly chic look that maximizes your suit’s potential.
