When the pantsuit trend first reemerged around the 2016 election, many chalked it up to a momentary reaction to the political climate; a sartorial feminist statement that wouldn’t endure for long. Fast-forward to Fall 2018 and the look is still just as popular — perhaps even more so, if the street style snaps out of fashion month…
22 Ways to do Pantsuits, as per the Street Style Crowd
-
Blue Boudoir
Go silky and loungewear-inspired in a rich navy hue.
-
Nonbasic Black
Opt for an update — in this case, cut-outs — to the classic black suit.
-
Soft and Sporty
Lighter hued suits get the fall treatment when you add black accents and a turtleneck underneath.
-
White on White
Rock post-Labor Day white in the form of a tux and matching bag. Punctuate it with statement sunglasses and black shoes.
-
New Plaid
Try accessorizing a plaid suit with white accessories for a fresh fall look.
-
Pretty Pink
Suits don't have to be stiff. This drapey blush ensemble is easy and roomy enough to fit a chunky sweater underneath.
-
Animal Instinct
Leopard is this fall's MVP print. Flip the script on both trends with a boldly colored animal print.
-
Velvet Touch
The holiday fabric is instantly fall-ready in a grassy green version paired with minimal accessories.
-
Not-So-Mellow Yellow
A bright canary suit for evening? Why not? A burgundy bra top underneath makes it sexy and seasonal.
-
Print Pop
Don't be afraid to layer this season's must-have belt bag over your patterned suit.
-
Add Bulk
If it's still warm where you are, keep a linen suit in rotation and update it with a bold patchwork bag and chunky sneakers.
-
Hot Mustard
Pajama-inspired printed yellow plus white accessories equals the perfect balance.
-
Winter Print
Try a heavier fabric for colder weather, but keep it bright with a light knit underpinning.
-
Red Alert
Don't be afraid to go for head-to-toe bright ruby, then anchor it with black extras.
-
Checkmate
Try a preppy print suit, then add edge with a drawstring pouch bag and dramatic sunglasses.
-
Cool Factor
Fact: Black and gold accessories elevate any outfit. Polished extras and white sneaks give this nerdy plaid some sex appeal.
-
Strike a Cord
Corduroy is back with a serious vengeance for fall. Try a structured suit in a rich autumnal hue for a fresh and fashionable take on the fabric.
-
Orange Is the New Black
This combo isn't just for Halloween. Pair your pumpkin suit with 90s-inspired black extras like a sheer top and boots.
-
That '70s Show
Graphic patterns, wide lapels and cropped flares? Why not? Add an easy tee, layered necklaces, sneakers and a sleek bag to make it modern.
-
Shift Into Neutral
Balance out an oversized gray suit with sharp, clean extras in brown, white and black. Don't forget the slick side part.
