Your Guide to Summer Suiting

This go-to outfit is staying in season this summer

Victoria Beckham, Kourtney Kardashian and Taylor Swift are a few celebrities we see suiting up for events and day-to-day wear, so we thought we could give you a few of our favourite suits to add to your shopping cart this summer and some tips on how to make them your perfect go-to outfit.

The fit of a suit is critical, so make adjustments when needed. Find a local tailor, dry-cleaner or ask the shop assistance when purchasing to recommend a local dressmaker.

Always know that you can take in or let out suits. When it comes to pants, skinny style pants should always stop at the ankle so it doesn’t matter what shoes you wear, yet a wide-leg will need to hit the floor so its best to try with preferred shoes.

Having pieces tailored really helps you get the best fit possible to help you look and feel your best.

Suiting up for the races isn’t only for males this season. This feminine style jacket will show off your waist and the colour will definitely make a statement. Wear it with a wide brim hat and you are set.

Style and colour are perfection, making this a great piece to have when an evening event pops up. Both separate pieces can also be great additions to your day-to-day wardrobe for a more relaxed feel.

Business with some fun:
