Broken suit: how to combine jacket with trousers

PTo tear tradition apart, a certain mastery is required. Starting with the outfit: the protagonist of the moment, the elegant women’s suit. One garment that hides two, which it would really be a shame to only exploit together. How to make the most of the seasonal investment? You just need to know the right styling tricks to make the most of the outfit: here’s how to combine jacket or trousers individually with other must-haves that we all already have in the wardrobe.

Spoilers: the simplest trick, that is to take two different suits and swap blazers and trousers, is risky and (almost) never works. In Spring-Summer 2023, it is better to experiment with other decidedly more glamorous and refined ways to break up the outfit…

Elegant trousers + ton sur ton sweater

The mission, in fact, is to recreate a look that is as refined as a suit, but decidedly more original. In this sense, tailored suit trousers can be combined, rather than with a blazer, with a tone-on-tone knit sweater. Better if in a texture like braids, honeycomb or Aran. And to reinforce the concept, a classic shirt underneath.

Suit jacket + spaghetti strap dress

The two-piece suit offers several style cues when considering just the blazer. How to combine the traditional long black jacket with one button? The chicest idea, perfect to show off in the office or on a day of meetings that will culminate in an after-work aperitif, is the mix with a dress with thin straps. Better if in silk and total blackFor recreate the perfect balancejust of the coordinated.

Twin set + suit trousers

A knit cardigan or a twin set consisting of a top and a sweater, they are ideal as a substitute for the jacket to reuse the usual black tailoring trousers. Just pay attention to the nuances, focusing on light and bright tones, which guarantee an essential and elegant look.

Double breasted blazer + midi skirt

How to combine the somewhat formal double-breasted jacket, queen of the men’s suit? Just break up the suit with a midi skirt. In this case, playing with prints and colors is allowed, given the underlying severity of the double-breasted. The more classic ones can opt for a pleated model or in ton sur ton satin it’s a lively top.

Tailored blazer + leggings

For those who are fed up with the oversized suit, king of 2023 suits, the suggestion is to change the trousers and experiment with tight-fitting leggings or pants.
