A well-fitting suit is no longer just a man’s thing, but also an absolute must-have in our wardrobe. Once we move in, we can no longer imagine life without a suit. Why? Because it can be styled feminine, chic or casual.
When we think of power dressing, the first thing that comes to mind is classic Suit comes to mind. Why? The two-piece suit doesn’t need a lot of bells and whistles to look good. It is therefore almost always a safe bank. And the best thing: we can style it completely according to the occasion and according to your mood.
Classic suit: THE go-to for the office
With minimal effort, we exude maximum self-confidence in a trouser suit. That’s why the two-piece suit is so popular for the office. We prefer to choose a model in black. With a classic cut and made of high-quality materials, it will definitely be by our side for several years, whether it’s a presentation to colleagues or the next salary negotiation.

Linda Evangelista’s look is a go-to. Why? Because she perfectly stages her classic-cut suit with a waist belt, delicate shoulder pads and a turtleneck sweater. Power-Dressing at its best – add a confident pose and we are the eye-catcher in the office.
We love casual elegance
But we don’t just love suits for the office. Even in our free time or in the home office, we create the perfect balance between fashionable and comfortable with the oversized two-piece suit. While we often rely on muted tones for the classic look, casual styling can be a bit more eye-catching. Pinstripe patterns, bright colors or checked patterns are perfect. Wear with a loose T-shirt, sneakers and a crossbody bag. Gold-colored hoops and narrow-cut sunglasses add the finishing touch to the leisure look.

Evening glamor with feminine cuts
If you want to transform your suit into a glamorous evening look, you should either choose a model that already has a fitted middle or you can quickly create a sexy silhouette with an XL waist belt. In addition to the cut, the material is also a crucial glam booster: models made of satin or velvet in an elegant color such as burgundy, emerald green, dark blue or black can be easily spiced up with small details such as high heels or jewelry. If you want to go one step further, avoid wearing a top under the blazer and instead choose a black lace bra.

One more tip at the end: The most beautiful trouser suit won’t look good if it doesn’t fit properly. Fit is the be-all and end-all of any suit, similar to a gown. Therefore, pay attention to the following details: The usually double-breasted blazer should not be tight at the back or front of the chest when closed and should sit loosely at the waist. The shoulder seams should rest on the shoulder. Wide-leg pants should meet the soles of your shoes.
