Season after season, no matter how many new trends there happen to be, there’s always one look that sticks around: suiting. Of course, fashion is naturally cyclical—it’s why Y2K fashion is back and thriving, and miniskirts have made a triumphant return. I can’t lie and say that suits are some groundbreaking trend, however, it’s clear that through looking at S/S 22 and A/W 22 collections, they certainly aren’t boring. And I know I’m not the only one who thinks so, as it's every celeb's go-to look.

I can’t recall a past red carpet outfit or a street-style moment that didn’t include a celebrity rocking a suit. This look in all its forms (from matching sets to single blazers) is the beloved staple that we just can’t ditch. And really, do we want to? Suiting always manages to toy the line perfectly between timeless and trendy, feminine and masculine, functional and fashionable. But if you’re not sold on the power of great suiting, keep reading—I’ve rounded up 15 suit outfit ideas from celebrities. You can consider these looks a lesson plan in how to wear a suit while incorporating some of spring’s biggest trends.

WHO: Zendaya Coleman

WHAT: Pertegaz look

Ahh, Zendaya, is it even a roundup of stylish celebrities without her? While she’s never one to shy away from serving a look, this suit number is a personal favorite. Embracing suiting is so much better when you’re pairing it with other major trends of the moment like bright colors and short hemlines. Just make sure you balance out the look by opting for a higher neckline and classic shoes.

WHO: Dua Lipa

WHAT: Dion Lee Leather Single Link Bra ($472) and matching pants; Hannah Jewett Puddle Play Earrings ($250); Givenchy Mini Cut-Out Leather Bag ($2055)

Oftentimes when we think of suiting, it very much fits inside a nicely tailored box of everything matching. But style icons like Dua Lipa have shown you can spice up a suit by pairing it with more risqué pieces. Simply take that tie-up bra top and matching pants and style it with a blazer in a matching hue for a night out. You’ll be levitating in this look.

What better way to spice up your little black suit than by injecting some color this season? With so many bright hues dominating S/S 22 collections, all you have to do is pick a color and go for it. And if you want to lean into it, then take a cue from Gabrielle Union and mix a subtly printed suit with a colorful blouse and pumps for a look that’s bolder than ever.
