The biggest runway trends for this year featured tailored separates for men and women. While suiting has always been on-trend for women, this year’s styles for her definitely play on a more masculine look. From cargo pants to power suits, fashion is undoubtedly making the world your boardroom, ladies. Here are some fabulous looks that will help you work this trend into your wardrobe!

While you’re probably no stranger to blazers and suit pants, you may be new to going all-in on the menswear look. Many of us have been steered away from certain silhouettes. This is the year to shed that shyness and try something bold!

Suiting is all about clean lines. If you haven’t made friends with a local tailor, now’s the time. Having things fitted perfectly to your body will instantly elevate your look. (We promise it’s less pricey that you always assumed it would be, and it can actually save you money; you won’t have pieces languishing in your closet that you don’t feel comfortable in, and you can have pieces tailored again as the current trend – and your figure – changes.)

We love details that give clothes a little more definition and structure. The two looks to the left both feature built-in belts that cinch the waist in. Look for bold collars, shoulder epaulettes, visible pockets, piping, pleating and more.

For summer, we love breezy jumpsuits, sleeveless vests and suiting shorts. They’re the playful way to stay cool while rocking an executive flair.

TOP Styling Tips:

• Don’t be afraid to play around with extremes when you’re styling your look. Pair menswear with ultra-feminine touches or even streetwear-inspired pieces for an exciting contrast that will catch everyone’s eye.

• Wearing heels that match your trousers creates a long visual line that makes your legs look phenomenal!

• On the flip side, constrasting your accessories adds a playful edge that serious suiting can lack. It’s all about knowing your audience – and your personal style.

• With menswear, always carry an interesting handbag. Bags with curves are very on-trend right now, and offer the perfect contrast to the architectural lines of suiting.

• Never gotten into scarves? This is the year to try it! Whether tied around your neck, decorating your bag or sprucing up your ponytail, silk scarves are a timeless staple that will bring a punch of style to your look.
