How to wear the skirt suit in 2021? Choose it and accessorize it for a modern look, it's here!
What is a skirt suit?
The
skirt suit , it is the formal ensemble par excellence, consisting of a suit jacket and skirt. Ultra conventional, it had its heyday in the 80s, when all women wore it to work. It was then the flagship piece of professional styles for many years. A sober, chic and unfussy style, which worked every time if you had a job interview, a presentation or a work meeting. In short, the workwear label stuck with her for a long time. And if the skirt suit was not worn at work for a chic and formal style, it was then used in
guest outfits wedding . The perfect look for the mother of the bride or the perfect outfit for a very chic wedding. Young women looking for trendy looks had therefore completely abandoned them in favor of other much more current styles. Then came the return of tailored pants to the fashion scene with oversized, flared and high waisted cuts. Little by little, the tailored pants have regained their place in the news to offer a style with a unique character. It is therefore no surprise that the
skirt suit is also getting a second wind in our vision of fashion 2020-2021. But be careful, you will see that its cut has nothing to do with that of the 80s and 90s. We explain to you.

The cut of the skirt suit
While the traditional suit used to reach the knee for a little "granny" spirit, the current skirt suit has been shortened by a few centimeters. And yes, the right way to wear a skirt suit this season is to
opt for a short skirt .That's the number 1 golden rule! On the suit jacket side, although there are still some very short cuts, we prefer the long straight or oversized jacket. The fitted cut is good for going to work but
to be stylish, we put on the XXL version sage jacket.Second point:we forget the black skirt suit version and we move on to serious things. Much bolder and
punchy colors . Pastel pink, lemon yellow, electric blue or flamboyant red. Style is color, but beware, nude and white are also very popular this year. So, the ideal is to have several to mix and match according to your desires!Finally, we love the retro chic aspect of the
velvet skirt suit or in tweed. Welcome to
printed skirt suits plaid, wales, houndstooth, checks, you can't go wrong with a set of this style.
Which top to wear a skirt suit with?
For this vintage piece to match our contemporary looks, we chose
a very modern top .
In pole position: the crop top. Adored by fashionistas for its sexy and feminine look, we dare to mix it with the formal retro spirit of the skirt suit. It's a good way to break the codes and achieve a successful look.Second possible version:the bralette under the skirt suit. Ok, in real life the bralette is not so easy to put on, unless you go to a party, but you have to admit that this kind of look is downright hot and very
Ashley Biber !! If you don't dare to wear it in sexy mode, just swap your high heels for a pair of trendy Dad Shoes spirit sneakers, to give it a much more sportswear spirit. This is how the skirt suit achieves the feat of being accepted with a pair of sneakers. What once would have been bad taste, unless you were
Mel C from the Spice Girls , will give you the place of the ultra trendy girl, who has style!Ha, I almost forgot, you also have the possibility of adopting the sublime version of
Emily Ratajkowski in her skirt suit. This requires the
no bra option and "no high" actually.. It's hot, but it doesn't hold very warm and better to have the assets well placed.

We prefer a more down to earth look for winter, with a little turtleneck or a
funnel neck jumper British or preppy girl style. A duo that also works very well! Finally, if you don't know what to wear, it's very simple, take out the basics and
opt for a traditional white t-shirt with a round neck . It goes with everything!
What shoes with a skirt suit?
This is where we see how fashion evolves. Going back to the standards yes, but there's no question of wearing them as before. So if you're thinking of pumps with your skirt suit, I'll stop you. This option only works if you are going to work or a wedding. But in real life, we will rather
bet on very trendy pairs of shoes .The little winner of the moment is the sock boot and its chic and retro feminine spirit. It goes particularly well with
a tweed skirt suit or with a checkered print. For a streetwear or even chic sportswear look, we bring out the colorful wedge sneakers. You'll see, the bigger it is, the better it goes, I promise! And finally, we're sporting the look of the year with
flat lace-up boots chunky boots spirit. With this model, you can pass any suit skirt set. Shoes are enough to bring youth and modernity to your look. For a feminine version from head to toe, make a splash and dare to wear thigh-high boots. But be careful, in this case choose a plain or discreet skirt suit model.
