A modern woman wears a suit sometimes more often than a man. A variety of models and styles allow suits to penetrate into all spheres of life: in work, sports, everyday life and home life. One of the great options for this element of the wardrobe is a three-piece suit.
Features
A female three-piece suit is a clothing consisting of three elements, which is logical. Most often these are trousers or trousers, a jacket, jacket or jacket, as well as a vest. Depending on the style of the suit: business, sports or home, these elements look appropriate.
Business women's suits are of two types: "two" - pants or a skirt and a jacket and "three" - pants or a skirt, a jacket and a vest. A tie or bow tie is also an essential attribute of a business suit. The first accessory is suitable for an important business meeting, the second - for the evening. In everyday office life, a suit can be worn without a tie.
Despite the fact that the costume is associated more with the strong half of humanity, worn by a lady, he is experiencing an amazing transformation - restrained shades, a clear cut and lines only emphasize femininity and fragility, making a woman sexy and elegant at the same time.
Models
Costume models today there are many. Due to the fact that you can dress up in a suit for various reasons, their variations are just as diverse. If we talk about women's costumes, we can distinguish the following:
- Classic business suit. A jacket and pants of a straight cut, restrained color, most often with buttons.
- Party costume - Here, designers offer to build on their taste, fashion preferences and body shape. There are plenty to choose from - from variations on the theme of a tuxedo to tight-fitting models, cropped jackets, a hem in the form of a miniskirt or mini-shorts, various materials.
- Casual suit - it can be models made of denim, cotton or artificial leather, fleece or synthetics. The mass of options - from suits that are similar to business to semi-sports or, conversely, feminine.
- Home suit. Models for those who even at home prefer to look collected and elegant. It can be both suits “for oneself” - to comfortably spend an evening with a book or for one's favorite hobby, or “for guests” - in this one is not ashamed to go out even to a stranger.
- Sport suit. In the world of sports, “troika” is no less popular than in business. Manufacturers offer such suits for all types of activity: yoga, fitness, running, winter sports, tourism.
- Three-piece suit for the girl. All of the above options are sewn for young ladies. Children's models can be either an exact copy of adults, or differ in a certain naivety - soft cut, cute details, decor.
Styles
The main charm of the three-piece suit is that it is three independent elements of clothing, and each can be chosen so as to emphasize its merits and hide flaws from the eyes of others. Therefore, it is worth talking about the styles of each costume item separately.
The business jacket is classic - it is a conservative style, close to the masculine one. Most often, this is a double-breasted jacket, fastens with two or three buttons. A more feminine variation is a fitted jacket on one button with a round turn-down collar or stand-up collar. Such a style seductively outlines the bust and waist, leaving no doubt that in front of you, even a business, but a lady.
Shortened or elongated jackets are another way to diversify a business image or show a figure in a favorable light. The sleeve can be of different lengths: classic to the wrist, “three quarters” or above the bend of the elbow, a flared sleeve reaching the tips of the fingers or barely covering the shoulder.
Suit trousers can also have a classic straight fit, be narrowed down, or, conversely, flared from the hip, knee or lower. The traditional “office” length is to the middle of the heel. Breeches, wide on the hips and tapering to the ankle, look very fashionable. The office skirt also has a lot of styles: “pencil” or “sun”, “balloon”, straight cut or trapezoidal.
Fabrics
Consider which fabrics are most often used to sew women's three-piece suits:
- Wool - material recognized as one of the best for costumes. Natural fabric does not interfere with proper heat transfer, does not interfere with skin breathing and keeps its shape for many years. There is a mass of woolen fabrics - from premium to economy class, which allows you to purchase a thing for every taste and budget.
- Tweed - A type of woolen fabric, on the surface of which a herringbone pattern is made. It is a durable, even rough fabric, but it is ideal for warm casual suits.
- Cashmere - fabric for luxurious suits that are very pleasant to the body. Despite the high price, cashmere fully justifies itself with its magnificent appearance and ability to not change its structure even with long wear.
- Velveteen - we can say that this is a variation of velvet for every day. The fabric is very pleasant to the touch, looks dignified and restrained, has good wear resistance.
Color schemes
Eternal classic and color, which is always appropriate - black. This is a great option for a three-piece suit for the office and for an important meeting, and for a gala evening. Depending on the accessories, black can be either luxurious or restrained, inconspicuous, either camouflage or catchy. This is the most popular and most practical color, in addition, designers complement black with all kinds of prints: a small strip or “goose foot”, rhombuses and a cage, flowers are embroidered on it or decorated with inserts of a different color.
Three equally popular colors for the costume are blue, gray and brown. These are neutral shades that are appropriate in the office as well as possible, they are less solemn than black, but have long been included in the line of business colors recognized throughout the world.
Scarlet three-piece suit - an outfit for a brave, confident lady. Red color is also most often chosen for an evening event, but more muted shades: wine, burgundy, pomegranate will look great in an office environment. The same can be said about shades of green. Beautiful olive, emerald colors, a shade of khaki or bay leaf are a good option to include them in your business wardrobe.

Another option is a set of a skirt or trousers, vest or jacket, as well as a shirt or blouse. The third version of a three-piece suit is a jacket, trousers and a dress. It is easy to guess that the dress can be worn separately or with a jacket, and by adding pants and a jacket to a turtleneck, shirt or top, you can get a completely new look. Sometimes such sets instead of a jacket are supplemented with a contrasting vest, which can be worn directly over the dress.
