  2. The edgy, spinoff suit– This suit is a modern version of a classic and includes small embellishments such as feathers or studs. Best worn casually or to a fun party…although women working in fashion can get away with it in the office.    chanel-2010-2
  3. The sporty suit– This suit is the most casual of all options and is both comfy yet fashion forward. Although the most laid back of the list, the sporty suit always wows the crowd with a pair of heels and a sassy clutch.

DONT’s

  1. DON’T mix two vibrant colors with a suit. It always ends up clashing and ruining the whole aesthetic.
  2. DON’T wear a blazer that’s too tight in the arms and long against the torso, and vice versa.
  3. DON’T add competing accessories to an already busy suit. Save the neon and diamond encrusted stilettos for an all black, or navy suit.
  4. DON’T wear plaid suits and mix and match the patterns. Wear a uniform suit with a simple white or black blouse.
  5. DON’T wear a suit that isn’t hemmed or has sloppy seams. No accessories or blow dry can save this fashion no-no.

Now you’re ready to take your lesson to practice! Remember these rules, and you’ll be showing up like you belong on the catwalk.
