fdonkey men like. The jacket and trousers mix is the two-piece of choice, for those who love looks tomboys. However, its growing adoption in the office outfit has transformed the suit in the long run into a classic that, at times, can be boring. Especially in its more traditional and set version, the women’s suit in black or grey: that’s why the stylists interpret it according to new variations every season.
The suit of the moment, which anticipates the looks of the next cold season: a mash-up androgynous of masculine and feminine. Starting from the cut to get to the combination, to be copied point by point at the Pre-Fall 2023 fashion shows.
Where have we seen it
First of all, the suit becomes really proof of a working woman. Having abandoned the oversized fits that have characterized the latest collections, in Autumn 2023 the suit scores the right points, is screwed into the jacket, stretches like a cigarette into the trousers. The squared eighties shoulders remain, but are softened, by contrast, by the sharp silhouette. The peak lapels, the welt pocket on the chest, the side ones with mini flaps, and finally the double-breasted closure with just two buttons on the belly enhance the curves – and create them where there are none. Exactly like the model proposed by Alexander McQueen, which marries all these trendy features. And it combines them with an exquisite fine texture of the wool, worked in a pattern pied de Poule: almost imperceptible, capable of giving movement to the rigid whole.

Hourglass shapedry fit and right lengths on the sleeves and on the hem of the pants (strictly with pleats, as a trend still called) the other details that distinguish it, and make it already structured in an original way.
How to combine the gray suit in Fall 2023
But it is in the way of wearing it that the women’s gray suit presented by the English brand demonstrates all its character. Starting from the starched white shirt, worn buttoned up to the neck, which emerges from the collar, fastened – indeed, tight, to underline the long-limbed idea that makes it sensual and different: the touch of style to be copied with any, smoky, double-breasted suit . Other styling makeup as a true trendsetter, which makes the gray suit vibrant in every season: thematching with the red accessories in matte leather, more versatile than lacquer paint, is absolutely worth copying. Shoulder bag and mules, the exception that proves the rule of never slavishly matching shoes and bags.
On the other hand, the impeccable outfit speaks for itself. For those wishing to add further frills, earrings or a thin silver chain necklace are allowed. The last accent, which transforms the standard uniform suit into a subtly sexy dress.
