For my last STYLE GURU STYLE post this summer, I chose one of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe so far—the suit. I was inspired by the beautiful and fierce silhouettes conquered in Christian Dior’s spring 2013 ready-to-wear collection. I drew inspiration from the tuxedos on the runway, so I chose to stick with a loose, oversized version and turn it into something more casual.
What I love most about suits is how they can be sober and edgy at the same time. Sometimes it can be hard to see the possibilities and variety of styles that a suit can take on. It’s all about the details and combinations. For example, to satisfy my rocker side I paired a Led Zeppelin T-shirt with denim shorts, bondage like pantyhose and my loyal pair of combat boots. My beanie was one of the keys to make my look super casual and an urban. Along with the casual combination I went with, a suit jacket can also show how fierce and professional you can be.
For me, a suit jacket is a customary piece in your wardrobe. If you are a super casual girl, start with the simpler styles before you try on the oversized and printed ones. Pair a simple suit with some casual staples from your wardrobe so you can feel more comfortable wearing it. It is easy for me to wear the oversized styles because I am used to wearing oversized clothes. For other Fashionista/os, I am certain there is a beautiful piece there will suit you perfectly.
