3 WAYS TO STYLE SUITS
THE TAILORING EDIT:
If there was ever a style to invest in heavily, the suit is it. A wardrobe heavyweight, it’ll see you through a whole realm of occasions, from the professional to the personal. And for 2023, suiting’s had a serious upgrade. The possibilities? Yeah, they’re endless. Think slick, hard-hitting professional styles, off-duty looks that go big on attitude and ultra-loud styles, complete with a bold energy. And there’s a look for every occasion, whether it’s your day to day to the party of the year. From Prada to Alexander McQueen, this is how we’re styling out the suit this season.
1. THE CASUAL SUIT
Sometimes the answer to life’s sartorial questions is this: keep things simple. And Prada’s utilitarian take on suiting does just that. The look seems to go back to basics c/o the classic white button down and simple black trousers. But the devils in the detail. The shirt features the iconic Prada triangle for instant cult appeal, and the look is levelled up c/o the chunky combat boots and jet-black leather bum bag. This is tailoring with purpose.
2. THE SMART SUIT
Cigarette legs, peak lapels and a harness at the shoulder: when it comes to tailoring, Alexander McQueen is making the case for if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Tailormade for spring c/o the baby blue hue, it’s a sharp, high-impact style that masters the art of feeling simultaneously classic and on trend. The best part? The fit looks good now, and it’ll look good next season. And the next.
3. THE TARTAN SUIT
Looking for an ultra-loud look? Vivienne Westwood have you covered. Not for the faint of heart, this suit goes hard in head-to-toe heritage tartan, mixing cult appeal with a punk sensibility. Into it? Lean in to the rockstar look and a dose of gothcore with Alexander McQueen’s chunky leather eyelet-starred loafers and skull-embellished jewellery.
