These 13 Suits Are Beyond Chic and the Easiest Way to Look Polished This Summer

At any given time, a quick scroll through the most stylish Instagram accounts will prove that there's one outfit that simply cannot be ignored this spring/summer season. The humble trouser suit, once synonymous with corporate workwear and stuffy offices, has well and truly made its name in fashion as a wardrobe staple, especially over the past few years. Far from the classic black tapered-leg trousers and nipped-in blazers of the past, the two-piece of today takes on many forms, colours and shapes, from zesty bright to creamy caramel, '80s-inspired and oversized to relaxed and slouchy. There are so many lust-worthy pairings available now that we're positively spoilt for choice.

The popularity of a trouser suit is no surprise given that it's basically an outfit all-in-one. It serves the same throw-on function as a dress when you want an easy, chic option you don't have to think about. And let's not underestimate the added confidence boost a two-piece provides.

Whether you're heading to the office, a wedding, date night or even a relaxed weekend brunch, suits are great for all occasions, and since they're so versatile, they can be styled accordingly with a simple change of layers and accessories. Simplicity will always win, though, and a white shirt, silk cami, ribbed vest or simple T-shirt is all you need to make a suit work, especially in the warmer months.
