This is the perfect time for women to swap out their dress and skirt suits for elegant yet professional pant suits. In the last few seasons, designers have given women more reasons to ditch the old notion about suits being a reserve for the corporate environment or office wear.
Of course, you can still maintain the formal 9 to 5 blazer and pants combination but pant suits for women don’t just end there. Thanks to endless design options, there are numerous pant suit styles for any occasion including playful patterns, springtime pastels, and casual prints for all seasons.
Pant suits have come a long way since they were first introduced to the fashion world by Andre Courreges way back in the 1960s. Designer pant suits, popularly known as trouser suits outside the US, are basically a pair of trousers perfectly matched with a jacket or coat.
The pant suit was originally designed for business occasions but as more companies start to shift towards casual wear, women are now sporting innovatively designed pant suits in and out of the office pairing them with wonderful jewelry. A pantsuit is just as handy in a meeting with an important client or in a job interview as it is in an informal occasion. All that matters is getting the right design for the right place. And there is no shortage of design.
Fall 2019 has introduced notable trends that focus on ditching the traditional sharp masculine shapes in suiting for clean feminine lines. For instance, Clare Waight Keller, who designs clothes with women in mind, now features curved-shoulder suits that give the usual slim blazer an elegant feminine appeal. Marco Zanini has not been left behind in the new women pant suit trend with his artfully designed cinched jackets complemented by matching pants.
There are endless and quite affordable options today including posh lapel-less tops and matching bottoms, smooth and comfortable polyester no-iron fabrics, classic black ladylike shaped suits that you can wear over a boxy turtle neck, and dark grey or light gray options to suit your style and of course the occasion.
Today’s pant suits for women provide a wide range of options in terms of design and materials used. The current trend seems to focus more on slim-fit designs with an elegant chic style. Most have tops with low popped collars, single large front button, lapel-less open front, and stylish vents on both sides of the front jacket. There are endless fabric and color options in today’s pant suits for women. Viscose and polyester are favored by most women because of their soft and comfortable fit.
Retro styles still persist in women’s pant suit designs too. There are 1970s inspired women suits featuring high waists, wide roomy pants, and matching blazers with broad shoulders. These bold fashion statements blend well in all settings including work, parties, formal events, and any special occasion. If skirt suits are no longer your thing or when you feel like trying something more elegant for a change, a two-piece blazer and pants suit is your perfect choice. Pant suits for women are not just ordinary suits for the office but something you pull out of your wardrobe when you are in the right mood to dress to impress.
