We were done with the notion that suits are just for men a long time ago. Over the years, thanks to the suffragettes, Coco Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent's Le Smoking Jacket, suits are very much a part of the modern woman's wardrobe. While in the '80s, we had the power suit, for spring/summer 2020, a softer looser-fitting shape is what we're all about. It comes in a variety of colours, from bold hues to more pastel shades, as well as the classics of black and pinstripe. If you're after a wardrobe staple, then a jacket and long trousers will sort you out, but if you're after something a little more trend-led, then there's also the shorts suit option or just a waistcoat paired with trousers. It's up to you, really. Ready to see which suit styles we predict will be huge this coming season? Keep scrolling.
Style Notes: Say hello to the easiest way to wear a suit in the summer. Pair with heeled thong sandals for a dressy version or flat chunky sandals for a pared-back style.
