A classic suit must be in every woman’s wardrobe. This may be a set of jacket with a skirt or jacket and trousers. A classic suit is a basic thing that will make you look stylish, fashionable and expensive in any situation. Changing jewelry or adding accessories, you can create a new, bright and memorable image every time.
Features
A suit is a set of clothes consisting, as a rule, of a vest, jacket (jacket) and trousers (skirt). All elements of the costume are made of the same material. Costumes are different from each other in terms of equipment, material, colors, style, length, etc.
Women's classic suit appeared around the middle of the XVII century. At first it was a set of clothes for riding, later the suit moved to the everyday women's wardrobe. Initially, the jacket was carried out in a straight free silhouette, and only at the beginning of the 20th century more feminine fitted models began to appear.
Long skirts began to be shortened gradually, opening the calves first, and then the entire leg to the knee. In many ways, thanks to Coco Chanel, feminine silhouettes of costumes came into fashion. Today, such models have become classic.
Styles
Pantsuit. Very practical and stylish option, equally well suited for the office, and for everyday life, and for celebration.
When choosing a suitable style should be repelled by their own physique. For example, girls with wide hips are shown flared or straight models of trousers and jackets up to waist length or slightly lower. Longer models will make hips even wider.
Trouser suits are quite practical and comfortable to wear. They perfectly adjust the figure, visually pulling it out and making it slimmer.
Classic trousers are a tight-fitting model at the waist and hips, straight or slightly flared from the hip, length to the middle of the heel.
A suit with a skirt is no less popular than a trouser set. Skirt for a classic suit can be made in several styles. Among the most common: straight, pencil skirt, trapeze, tulip, sun, pleated skirt, with pleats, on a yoke. The ideal length is near the knee, slightly higher or lower.
The jacket can be performed in a variety of variations: with frill, basque, original collar and lapels, fitted or straight. The length of the classic jacket is also different. This is a shortened model, barely reaching the waist line, and elongated, below the hips.
Business suit involves a combination of items of one or two contrasting colors. Most often it is a combination of light top - dark bottom or vice versa.
It is a delusion to believe that a classic suit looks perfect only on a slim, tall woman. A variety of styles of jackets, pants and skirts makes it easy to find a harmonious set for full ladies with curvaceous shapes.
Suits of the big sizes sit on a figure not less ideally, and they will look no less elegant. It all depends on the body type of the woman. It is enough to choose the correct length of the pants or skirt, correctly beat the dignity of the figure and hide small flaws so that the silhouette looks much sleeker and slimmer than it actually is.
The business suit, made in the English style, is distinguished by simplicity of design, clarity of lines, comfort in wear and elegance of form.English conservatism implies restraint in colors, perfect cut, traditional length and natural materials.
the cloth
The material chosen for tailoring a suit must meet several requirements.
- Resistance to crushing. A classic costume should always look perfect.
- The ability to quickly restore its original shape after stretching. The material should not be deformed.
- The material must have good hygroscopicity.
Most often, natural materials (cotton, tweed, batiste, wool, silk, cashmere, crepe) are chosen for sewing. Synthetic materials or fabrics with a large addition of synthetics are not recommended for tailoring. In such a suit it will be hot, uncomfortable, in addition, such a fabric does not allow moisture to pass easily.
Soft, delicate velvet is very often used for sewing evening dresses and suits for a special outing. Velvet suit of dark blue, deep wine, emerald green, purple or black color looks very elegant and noble.
Colour
Traditional colors for a classic suit are black, brown, gray or white. A black or white suit looks appropriate in any setting and blends perfectly with other clothes, shoes and accessories. A combination of contrasting colors, for example, a black jacket - a white skirt or vice versa, looks very stylish and unusual.
Today, designers propose to move away from generally accepted standards and turn their attention to costumes of more vivid and rich colors. Rich red, deep blue, beautiful emerald green color are perfect for a combination with a classic cut.
One of the trends of recent seasons is pink. Not screaming or poisonous, but gentle or very pale. This costume looks very elegant.
How to choose?
When choosing a model of a classic suit, it is necessary, above all, to build on your body type. For example, an overly thin top and narrow shoulders will visually transform the fitted jacket with shoulder pads. Visually to balance the narrow top and wide bottom will help and wide lapels on the jacket. It is desirable to choose a jacket shortened, in any case, its length should not pass through the widest line of the hips.
Women with a triangle body type are advised to turn their attention to sets of dark trousers or a skirt and a light jacket or jacket. This combination visually aligns the proportions, making the shape more harmonious.
For the owners of the shape of the "rectangle" type, we can recommend jackets of direct or slightly adjacent cut. Pants can also be straight or narrowed. Small decorative details, such as patch pockets, are acceptable.
Miniature girls can advise costumes with a vertical thin strip. Such a print visually "pulls" the figure.
Owners of the "apple" type can try on jackets with a rather deep V-neck. The length of the jacket can be up to the hip line or slightly below. It is advisable to choose a dark color scheme, which significantly draws and slims the figure. And beautifully placed bright accents (neckerchief, beautiful brooch, elegant clutch, etc.) will help you to beat the restrained colors beautifully. Pants should sit tight enough in the hips and abdomen. The model can be straight or slightly flared.

One of the trends of the new season, of course, is the refinement of the silhouette and the clear geometry of the lines. No blurry shapes and avant-garde designs. Only strict, laconic silhouette, beautiful shoulder line, classic length.
A pencil skirt and trousers that fit tightly on the hips and flared from the hip line are very relevant. Free flying silhouette. The pants should almost completely hide the shoes. Only the toe of the shoe and part of the heel are visible.
In monochrome fashion. Costumes designed in a single color scheme will be very fashionable and relevant.Steel gray and rich blue are very popular. As well as pastel, delicate range of colors (mint, coral, caramel, champagne, pearl pink).
What to wear?
A blouse is one of the most popular companion items for a classic suit. Blouses can be very different: male cut, stylized under shirts, romantic with frills and ruffles, low-cut and closed. Blouses can be monophonic or be carried out in a combination of several colors, decorated with embroidery, elegant frill, bow, original collar and cuffs, etc.
Instead of a blouse, a shirt, top, T-shirt, turtleneck, thin jumper, etc. can be used.
To make the image look as harmonious and effective as possible, you need to choose the right accessories and shoes for a classic suit. No rough shoes or bulky bags: an elegant clutch, neat shoes or closed heel shoes. Complement the image of concise jewelry - chain, earrings, rings.
Despite the fact that the traditional version of shoes suitable for a classic suit are shoes or ankle boots, modern designers propose to expand this line by combining a suit with different variants of sports shoes, for example, with sneakers or sneakers. Typically, this image is characteristic of youth or unofficial style. The jacket can be worn on the naked body, the pants have a shortened length, various decorative elements and unusual decorations are permissible.
An elegant coat of straight cut from cashmere, wool or other material is perfect as an outerwear for a classic suit. This may be an elegant cloak, and a luxurious fur coat, and a stylish sheepskin coat and other clothes that are combined with a costume in style.
