How To Wear It: The New Power Suit

The power suit is back in two distinctly different moods—one bright and sweet, and the other inspired by the boys. Oversized, boxy and pinstriped menswear styles worked Tommy Hilfiger and Stella McCartney’s runways. Riffing on zoot suit proportions in classic black and white, the looks were tailored yet surprisingly sexy.



On the flip side, labels such as Preen and Peter Som chose a ladylike attitude with body-skimming silhouettes—detailed with peplums and cropped cuts—and a dialled-up colour palette. We say test drive both looks for smart office options. There are benefits, after all, to diplomacy in fashion.
