Women's costume never goes out of style! Its appeal lies in the simplicity that lies in it. Whether it is a model with trousers or a skirt, he will definitely make the figure seductive and attractive. It remains only to choose the style that suits you.
Styles and models
With pants
Pantsuits came to us from the men's wardrobe; for a long time, pants on a woman were considered to be bad manners. Today, they can be found in a business, everyday and even holiday wardrobe. Pantsuits are divided into two types:
- two-piece suit (jacket and trousers);
- three-piece suit (jacket, trousers and vest).
At the same time, costumes come in different styles, let's look at a few of them.
- With a long jacket. Such costumes are very popular today. The jacket-statement is an indispensable attribute of politicians and people holding high official posts. Therefore, such a jacket in a business wardrobe will play into your hands, demonstrating that you are a real business woman.
- Without sleeves. A sleeveless jacket can be either short or long. This is another trend of the current season that has been enjoyed by many fashionistas. He is able to successfully replace a cardigan or a light jacket when it is not very cold outside.
- Double breasted. A jacket with two rows of buttons, one of which performs an exclusively decorative role, goes well with trousers of almost any style. Such a jacket adds elegance and aristocracy to any image.
- The tuxedo. An evening jacket with a deep neckline that opens the chest. The only jacket in the women's wardrobe, which is usually worn on a naked body. Can also be combined with a silk top or with a white shirt and with a tie or bow tie.
Initially, it was a men's jacket for a smoking room. It was sewn from velvet or velvet, which absorbed the smoke of cigars, and lapels from a sliding satin were necessary in order to conveniently shake off the ashes. Such tuxedos also came to the women's wardrobe, but now such a cut is more a tribute to traditions than a necessity.
With shorts
A suit consisting of shorts and a jacket is a solution for courageous girls.
Such a suit can easily fit into a business wardrobe, of course, if the dress code allows. In the office, Bermuda shorts, capri shorts, as well as models with breeches will be appropriate. This is a great solution for the summer season, but with the onset of autumn, you should also not write off such kits. Shorts look amazing with dense tights of muted shades.
With skirt
The skirt in the business wardrobe must necessarily be of a straight cut, trapezoidal, but in no case not curvaceous models are also acceptable. A classic skirt should be midi length - to the middle of the knee or slightly lower.
There are also business suits with a long skirt. Paradoxically, they look best on girls with a good figure. If you are full or short, there is a risk that a long skirt will make the figure heavy and squat.
Tight skirts are not allowed in a business wardrobe, but such suits are suitable for everyday wear and for a special occasion.
Celebrate your wardrobe - this is generally a separate issue. If for some reason you do not want to go in a dress, you can choose a suit with trousers or a skirt. In the future, these two items of clothing can be worn separately, each time receiving new stylish bows.
