As Fall quickly approaches, it's time to think about your capsule wardrobe of suit essentials. If you have pieces that work in many combinations it will make getting dressed in the morning so much easier.
Today’s modern suiting for women is much more than a plain navy or black blazer and pants. When you check out the runways for 2024 you will see that tailored suits are trending for Fall 2024. And these suits are both functional and fresh. You will find that the blazers come in a myriad of styles including single and double breasted, fitted, oversized, and belted. And then there are the choices of materials: wool blends, crepe and linen are all great options depending on the weather and your mood. Blazers are a simple way to dress up your ensemble and another simple way to dress up your workwear is with a pair of womens designer oxfords, such as the Embassy London bricklane or vivienne.
Now what to wear under that new blazer. As the dog days of Summer continue through August and into September, a well made white tee or a sleek camisole is the perfect layer, but as the temps begin to cool, reaching for a crisp button-down gives an added layer of comfort and warmth. Both of these options also transition easily to happy hour by removing the blazer and adding a fun piece of jewelry or changing into a pair of womens designer heels.
Now let’s shop for pants or skirts to compliment those new blazers. Starting with a pants style, whether is a wide-legged, skinny, cropped, cuffed or even a pair of wool shorts. Pants in pinstripe or deep navy, pair perfectly with a well made pair of womens designer ankle boots. A pair of handcrafted Italian leather ankle boots will give you both the comfort and style you need for a long day at the office. There are also options of putting on a skirt, that gives your suit a more feminine flair. A mini skirt with a cropped blazer is a fun look, or a sleek pencil skirt paired with a block heel boot, will say you mean business. Feel free to buy separates, it’s a fun challenge to see how you can mix and match these pieces for a flexible, interesting work wardrobe.
For Fall 2024 there is an emphasis on shoulder pads in order to create a more defined and dramatic silhouette. The blazers on the runways are sporting padded shoulders that harken back to the 1980s, with cinched waists that pay attention to the body. Last year’s boxy blazers seemed to have been replaced with this new strong, structured look. Padded shoulders are a high fashion look and feel that pair well with a strong, platform boot or loafer. Boots and shoes with a chunky sole add to the drama of a power suit. These new 9-5 looks will ensure that you are dressed for success.
