Who could have guessed that the women's suit would return to the graces of trends? Indeed, it's one of the biggest fashion hits of the upcoming autumn. This season, we are focusing on dresses or skirts, complemented by a matching jacket. How to do it best? Discover our suggestions straight from the fashion shows of the biggest designers.

The women's suit holds great potential, a fact already known by Coco Chanel, who promoted her tweed sets of women's suits. In a significant way, it facilitated women's choices, and a chic look due to a jacket and a skirt that matched it became available immediately, at arm's length and in just a moment. If, until now, women's suits reminded you mainly of older ladies and their small-patterned sets, it's time to expand your fashion horizons.

The 2021 suit has nothing in common with ugly polyester sets. Until now, its potential has remained dormant, but it's time to pull it out of the wardrobe depths for autumn. The trendiest will be sets with skirts, although suits with pants will also appear. Elegant and fashionable women's suits are making a strong comeback!

Women's Office Suit

Elegant women's suits by Bottega Veneta or Burberry are perfect for the office. The former, a smooth and all-black ensemble with a long jacket is decidedly more modern than the latter, checkered, which may be somewhat reminiscent of Queen Elizabeth's informal outfits (we write more about them in the article "Queen Elizabeth – 95 years of excellent style"). Which version of a women's office suit do you prefer and for which styling can you afford?

Modernize the buttoned up and down top with the help of fancy shoes. They don't have to be heels (if they're not required in your dress code). Think less about traditional and, when composing an outfit for work with a suit, reach for e.g. platform boots by Bottega Veneta.

Complete the whole with accessories: a Stella McCartney shoulder bag with a chain and a silver Gucci watch. You look modern and classy – admit that office stylizations of this type have nothing to do with tackiness.

Another example of a toned-down office styling with a suit is a set with a quilted jacket and skirt by Burberry, which we mentioned earlier. If you like classic or somewhat rustic style, you're close to the spirit of retro, horse riding, jockey style from the past years of English estates, you will find yourself in such women's suits perfectly. Leaving work, additionally, following "Grandma Eli's" example, you can put a scarf on your head, whose pattern interestingly corresponds with the checkered pattern.

The whole thing will still look modern, and that's thanks to the remaining accessories: Saint Laurent sunglasses, platform boots reminiscent of wellington boots, and a simple Burberry shoulder bag.

Fashionable Women's Suit – Different Than You Think!

Work outfits are not all that a suit can offer. What do you think about these two fashionable women's suits: with a flower power motif or... entirely from denim? Don't worry, we're not encouraging you to wear a total denim look from the 2000s, not at all. Here are two inspirations in line with current trends.

For those craving colors, bold fashionistas will like the spring set by Dolce & Gabbana, in which daisies bloom. You can pair such a suit with sneakers, e.g., orange ones by J.W. Anderson.

You can boldly wear a floral set also in autumn. All you have to do is throw a trench coat over such a suit, which will introduce a slightly calmer atmosphere. The whole will look like a stylization of Margot from the cult movie The Royal Tenenbaums by Wes Anderson.

And what about a denim suit? The brand Red Valentino had this idea. If you like unconventional ideas, take a closer look at this styling with a denim jacket with puffy sleeves and a chic skirt with a layer of tulle. The set is complemented by American cowboy-style boots.

Take a transparent shopper bag in your hand, which goes perfectly with the tulle transparencies of the skirt.

Elegant Women's Suits – Time to Dust Off!

If you were convinced that such sets – women's suits will never come back, you were wrong. We hope that you have changed your opinion about them, especially if it has been negative until now. It's also evidence that in fashion you should never say never and not throw away things that seem out-of-date to you today.

Comebacks like to surprise. Every now and then, fashion returns even to the most "tacky" clothes and what was once a "kitsch" is a hit today. Not only the suit has returned in this way, but also corrective glasses in metal frames or trousers with wide legs – after years of domination of skinny jeans, which are currently making a comeback. Choose one of the elegant women's suits or office outfits with a costume and wear it with pride!
