Fashion Friday: Unsuit Your Suit

Get the most from your current wardrobe by unsuiting your suit. Creatively pair each suit piece with an unexpected twist for a fashionable, stylish look.

Unsuit your suit!  Instead of organizing your suits with suits, separate the pieces and hang jackets with jackets, pants with pants, skirts with skirts.  By doing this, you're more likely to get double-duty out of your suit pieces.

When suit pieces hang with their mates, it's too easy to think about wearing them only as a suit.  When pieces hang on their own, it's much easier to think outside-the-box and wear the pieces in an unexpected way.  This is one of my favorite things to do! 

Some examples:

  • Wear a suit-pant or suit-skirt with a silk blouse layered under a cardigan. 
  • Wear a suit-jacket over a crisp white, long-sleeve button-down and a pair of dark denim jeans.
  • Wear a suit-vest with a colorful pair of cropped trousers.  

The options are unlimited.  Have fun and always -- dress like you mean it!
