Trend of the Week – Tailor Made

Suit yourself with a new spin on spring tailoring writes Annmarie O'Connor

Trend of the Week – Tailor Made

Inspiration:

From cut to colour, fabric to fit, getting dressed is a fuss-free affair, where this season’s suiting trend is concerned. The style memo? The metric of ease.

Swap high waists for low-slung trousers and pair with an oversized blazer and breezy loafers. Combine a soft palette of washed neutrals with grown-up pastels and earthy accents and layer with soft knits for a more wearable iteration whatever the weather. Style as it should be.

THE EDIT:

Look sharp with these considered closet keepers.

Oversized twill blazer, Arket, €175

Double-breasted trench coat, Mango, €99.99

Large leather tote, COS, €175

Dropped crotch shorts, COS, €69

Houndstooth wrap pencil skirt, ME+EM, £175; approx. €208.65

Jumpsuit with pintucks, Massimo Dutti, €149

Asymmetric dress, COS, €99

STYLE NOTES:

  • OFFICE DRESS CODE: Master ‘business casual’ by pairing knee-length Bermuda shorts with a crisp shirt and blazer.
  • DOUBLE CUTY: Looks like a skirt, wears like a cropped trouser. Wear now with knee boots and with square-toe slingbacks.
  • IN THE TRENCHES: Upgrade with a classic trench like Victoria Beckham and wear shoulder-slung over a 70s-inspired suit
  • EXTRA WEAR TIME: Layer a sleeveless shift dress over an underpinning and team with stovepipe trousers.
