Fashion and style: elegant suits for women of all ages

The fascinating history of the suit

For centuries, the only obligatory women's attire was a dress. In addition, it had to reach at least the ankles. It is obvious that this was not the most comfortable solution especially for working women. The separation of the dress into two parts is due to the suffragettes, although even earlier, for certain activities, such as horseback riding, elegant women wore a long skirt and a jacket of the same material. The more everyday two-piece women's dress, initially consisting of a skirt and blouse, was worn mainly by female teachers and clerks. However, they were not yet elegantsuits women's as we know it today.

Coco Chanel is considered the forerunner of modern ensembles consisting of a skirt and jacket. It was she who proposed two-piece costumes for women in a form that is still popular today. The name garçon comes from the French word garçon, meaning boy. The tomboy style promoted by Coco Chanel also had its emanation in the models of women's ensembles she proposed. A simple, boxy jacket without a collar, without a marked waist and a narrow skirt is a design that is still held in high esteem even today.

Between 1930 and 1950, successive designers added their pebble to the popularity of this garment. One must, for example, mention Dior's groundbreaking New Look collection, which also offered a new take on this type of outfit. Since then, the suit has permanently established itself in women's closets as an elegant garment for work and social gatherings.

Still very popular are chanels, or those with a pencil skirt and a box jacket. Waist-length jackets with a shallower or deeper neckline will also work. Longer oversized jackets are currently a novelty on the fashion catwalks, however, they will not always work in a formal situation. It is best to bet on classic tried-and-true cuts, making sure that the costume is carefully tailored and perfectly finished. This is a guarantee that the suit will lie well and emphasize our assets.

Suit for a civil wedding and for a wedding instead of a dress

Women's sets in the form ofwedding suits have also been adopted as attire for guests. They are especially popular among middle-aged and more mature ladies. This is a comfortable alternative to a dress, which looks extremely chic, and at the same time allows you to better regulate, for example, thermal comfort. The multitude of designs and colors allows you to choose the perfect set for a wedding for any season, for any figure and in any style.

One of the most popular occasions for which we choose suits is communion parties. This is not without reason. A suit for communion is a great option for both mom and grandma. This outfit is so versatile that it is ideal for family parties. For communion we usually choose an outfit in soft, spring colors. Most often these are pastel colors. However, other shades will also work. It should be noted that grandmothers should not be afraid of saturated and vivid colors. At a ripe age, one looks great in such a color palette, it brightens the complexion and adds energy.

For many women, a suit is the most obvious choice for work. Such an outfit is not only extremely comfortable and elegant, but in the perception of those around you it comes across as professional and emphasizes competence.

How versatile this garment is can be evidenced by the fact that it will be suitable for both formal business style, business casual, business casual, smart casual and even for everyday wear. The only differences will be in the color scheme and possibly the acceptable length of the skirt.

For work, we usually choose subdued, neutral colors. Black or navy blue will always be appropriate. The less formal the dress code, the more colors will be acceptable. However, as a rule, in the office we avoid colors that are too vibrant, flashy. For work, choose checked, striped or plain patterns. Less classic and more avant-garde prints may not be well received. Such women's outfits are better left for time away from work.

What instead of a skirt with a jacket?

A suit is a great outfit for both social outings and business situations. However, there are other options that will work equally well in these situations, and each in its own way will relate to a jacket with a skirt. The most obvious alternative is suits, or women's ensembles with pants and a jacket. Depending on the style, they will work well both at parties and at work. For those of the ladies who do not like skirts and dresses, this is an excellent choice. An alternative to suits are sets with pants and an elegant top, which can relate in style to a blouse or jacket. Again, look out for elegant women's suits - one-piece outfits with legs.

For women who would like a combination of dress and jacket, a great option will be navy dresses, very fashionable in recent months. Their cut, especially in the upper parts, resembles a jacket, so they will be the perfect combination of these two types of attire. Navy creations, depending on the color scheme and length, can be suitable for work or parties. It can be a type of everyday dress or cocktail dress.

Another reference to suits can be women's sets with a skirt and an elegant top in the same color. This is an excellent option for ladies who are not fond of jackets, but would like to wear a two-piece women's costume. This type of closet can also come in both business and formal versions. In our opinion, an airy skirt with an elegant blouse of the same fabric is a great alternative to a suit for a wedding or a communion party. It can also be an excellent choice for a civil wedding or other special occasions.

How to choose a women's costume according to the figure?

Ladies with an hourglass figure should aim for sets that emphasize the proportions of the figure. Sets with waisted jackets and a pencil skirt - in any length - will work. With a large bust, it is worth choosing larger necklines and wide lapels. Both single and double-breasted jackets will look beautiful. However, remember to necessarily emphasize the waist.

Ladies with a pear silhouette will look best in ensembles with shorter jackets and trapeze or flared skirts. Waisted jackets ending below the hip line and pencil skirts will also work great. This will help to somewhat even out the proportions of the figure and divert attention from full hips. Ideally, the upper part of the set should have decorative, eye-catching elements. With extremely narrow shoulders, it is worth choosing outfits with larger cushions or with buffets.

Ladies with an apple silhouette can choose boxy jacket suits. In the case of waist jackets, it is worth choosing those with a deeper neckline. Jackets made in two contrasting colors will work great. A lady with an apple figure will look beautiful in unbuttoned jackets, so it's worth choosing the perfect blouse or shirt for a lady's ensemble. The skirt will be best in knee length, so that you can show off your slender legs.

These can be stilettos or pumps on a post. Ballerinas will also work well. In winter, boots will look good. With slender calves and long legs, boots will also work well. For a wedding suit, you should choose a clutch bag or another type of small elegant formal handbag. For work, a briefcase will look good, as well as a letterman's purse or trunk.
