If spring 2018 fashion month (on and off the runway) taught us anything, it’s that suits will reign supreme this year. And to that, we say hurrah! What other item of clothing can make you feel as empowered, in control, and confident? The best part, though, is how put-together a suit makes you look with zero effort required—making getting ready in the morning an absolute cinch.
So what’s the freshest way to wear a suit this spring? Opt for a loosely tailored fit in the season’s trending pastel colors. Wear with a fun graphic tee and sneakers, heels, or a sharp pair of flats to look comfortable and sophisticated. If pastels aren’t your thing, then go for a crisp, clean white silhouette. Seen all over the S/S 18 runways, white suiting made its mark with loose and languid silhouettes and strong tailoring alike.
Whether it’s a skirt suit, pantsuit, or even a suit with tailored shorts (for summer), we looked to our favorite retailer Net-a-Porter for the styles sure to be blowing up our Instagram once the daffodils start to bloom. See and shop them below.
