Lately, our blogposts have revolved a lot around men’s fashion, but LGFG Fashion House is not only for men – we do have some amazing female clients and we don’t want to forget about you. So, ladies, this blogpost is for you!
We do agree that men can wear a suit for almost any occasion – work, lunch with friends, red carpet events, parties, etc. However, females simply have more wardrobe options so the suit is usually just a work uniform. But it doesn’t have to be like that, so here are some styling tips on how to wear your LGFG suit for all occasions.
1. The most classic look is to wear your blazer with a t-shirt and jeans. For a more feminine look, you can swap the t-shirt for a lace camisole. It looks casual, comfortable, and really cool. In the summer, fashionistas love to wear this look with shorts. That way, you can look elegant and not too covered (too hot) in the warmer weather.
2. For the Fall/Winter, take your suit pants and style them with an oversized sweater. This look is comfortable, feminine, a bit edgy, but still very classic and elegant. Something all the ladies should try when it gets chilly.
3. Now let’s get more festive! You can wear a full suit to a party without looking like a secretary. The trick is to change your shirt or your shoes. If you want to keep your white collared shirt under your suit, change your shoes. It’s not appropriate to wear those 10cm heels to the office, but they sure look good with a suit on a night out! Or, you can change the shirt and opt for one with no collar. The bravest of women skips the shirt altogether and wears only the buttoned up the blazer. One thing to keep in mind when opting for this look – wear it with confidence! And, of course, leave your big tote bag at the office and choose a clutch instead.
4. Why not add some rock’n’roll to your look by wearing leather pants instead your normal suit pants? Not recommended for the office, of course, but really edgy when out and about.
5. If you wear a full suit with a white collared shirt and office shoes, and want to go straight from office to a party, we recommend you to skip the blazer and tie a black (or other colour, depending on your suit) tie with a big bow on your neck. It will immediately give your look some coolness. And why not give it a try with a suspenders?
6. Another option is to belt your blazer. This will make your suit look even more feminine. It looks best if you combine your blazer with a skirt (we recommend a pencil skirt). This look is actually good to go everywhere – from the office to a date or to dinner with friends.
7. Play with colours. So you’ve got a black skirt and a blazer that you’d normally wear with a white shirt when going to the office. But if you plan to go straight from the office to a party, skip the black skirt (or vice versa) and wear a white one. If you mix the colours of your suit, it will no longer look like your office suit.
8. Try a new colour. If your suits are mostly grey, blue, or black then we recommend a colourful suit for a festive event. Something colourful like red or yellow or bright white.
9. And, one of the classiest ways to use some elements of your suit, is to wear your blazer over a shoulder while wearing an elegant strap dress. This way the blazer looks very elegant and can still keep you warm.
10. The most unusual way to funk up your suit is to add a classic tie and a vest under your blazer. Yes, it’s borrowed from the menswear and sounds a bit masculine but when worn with confidence, high heels and red lips make it look even better on a female.
