A closet full of skirted suits may be obsolete for your lifestyle. Play tough love with all your clothes to make room for clothes that best reflect your personality, figure and lifestyle. The leg of the most current pantsuits this season is either very slim or boot-legged. Much of the modern suiting available this season has a percentage of lycra or spandex added to the fabric. In addition, many fashion-forward suits sport a three quarter length sleeve.
Skirted suits are also back in style.
When designed with today's sophisticated stretch fabrics, this new length is lean, comfortable and, sometimes, sexy. Some styles fall straight just below the knee while others form an A-line just under the knee. Boucle suiting is back in vogue and allows you to conservatively participate in the textured trend of the moment. Boucle fabric is woven from looped yarn which gives it a highly napped surface. A suit with a detachable collar is a great option for those of you who want to try some faux fur on the collar of a suit but don t necessarily want to commit long term to the trend.
