From retro 80s shoulder pad styles at Marc Jacobs, to holographic and shimmery twists at Balmain, Fall 2018 truly is the Season of the Suit. If you’re tired of holiday cliches à la velvet or lace frocks, why not channel your inner Phoebe Philo or Hilary Clinton and switch things up with a power suit as your go-to party look?

From businesswoman plaid to eclectic jacquard, we’ve dismantled some of our favourite street style suit looks, to reinvigorate your wardrobe this holiday season.

À la Française

Pair a bold red suit with a striped tee to channel effortlessly chic French style. Accessorize with a complementary neck scarf, for a touch of elegance. Don’t forget red lipstick, a timeless addition to any look.
