Rules for choosing a women's trouser suit for an evening look

Costumes

An outfit for a special event is chosen with special care. It is designed not only to stand out from the crowd and emphasize the advantages, but also to demonstrate the impeccable taste of the owner. A women's evening trouser suit successfully copes with this task, which will make a worthy competitor to the usual dresses. Graduation, anniversary, even a wedding - the list of events where this outfit will be appropriate is endless.

Advantages

The current season is marked by a mass return to old traditions. Classic prints like checks or some styles (for example, flared trousers), which have long remained on the periphery of fashion trends, are coming to the forefront. This trend has also affected the weekend wardrobe. The features of the women's evening trouser suit made it so popular that many preferred this set to a dress. Advantages of the item:

  1. Comfort: The trousers provide comfort and freedom of movement.
  2. Versatility: well-chosen suits will come in handy not only for rare social outings, but also in everyday life when you need to look impeccable, for example, at a business meeting. It is enough to change accessories, adapt the details of the image.
  3. A wide variety of trouser suits – from classic to outrageous.
  4. The outfit is practical: the jacket will keep you warm on a cool evening outside, and you can take it off indoors.
  5. The ability to visually correct figure flaws: a fashionable trouser suit is ideal for overweight women, as it hides imperfections, creates balance, and harmonious proportions.

Such an unconventional weekend outfit looks fresh and original. Unlike everyday options, evening trouser suits are sewn from eye-catching fabrics with rich texture and color. A variety of decor is welcome: trim with shiny thread, embroidery, lace, as well as design elements such as flying sleeves, an interesting cut of a jacket, top.

A pantsuit is appropriate for any celebration, be it a graduation, the opening of a theater season, a social event or a party. There are original options for a wedding. It all depends on the variety, and there are many of them in the new season.

Varieties

Fashion trends of recent years have found their reflection in suits: all the most successful developments of fashion designers harmoniously intertwined into a single ensemble. The result was quite a lot of unusual interesting models. Fashionable suits this year can boast jackets of various styles: elongated to the middle of the thigh and even to the floor, or, on the contrary, short, with an emphasized waist, or free and wide products. Buttons (two on top, and then the hems freely diverge), hooks, belts are used as fasteners. The cut is characterized by strict lines or soft, flowing. Interesting options include mid-length wrap suits with a belt like a kimono or maxi options that resemble a robe, the hem of which opens up when you step, showing off tight trousers.

Jackets are typical of classic suit models. These can be single-breasted, double-breasted models or tuxedos. Both tight-fitting shortened and elongated loose options are equally well received. Sleeves can be ¾ long, with or without cuffs.

A summer suit can be complete with a top as the top. This is a laconic design of a dense corset with various trims, and an asymmetrical model flowing along the figure. Options with an emphasis on the waist in the form of folds, soft drapery, a belt or decorative elements are relevant. Vests are a great alternative to a suit jacket for the warm season. There are no restrictions on the length, shape of the lapels: they can be rounded, triangular, rectangular. Light models are equipped with a belt or strap.

The styles of trousers in fashionable suits of 2020 are striking in their diversity: straight, skinny, cigarette, breeches, flared. Of the shortened models, culottes, capri pants, and classic ones with an arrow have found their application. Wide skirt trousers add special femininity. The fit options are medium and high. Models with a high waist, coupled with a cropped top made of natural breathable fabrics, are an excellent solution for the summer. Winter suits are traditionally made of dense materials with the addition of wool: tweed, jersey, gabardine.

Materials

Evening suits are made from fabrics of different textures. If in the production of everyday models they use fairly dense materials that retain their shape, are wear-resistant, practical, then for evening outfits they also use soft, flowing, translucent options. Fashionable women's suits are sewn from the following types of fabric:

  1. Velvet. It is traditionally used to create evening dresses. It is a soft, heavy fabric with a short, dense pile, characteristic iridescent shine. When adding synthetic fibers (elastane, for example), the material acquires elasticity, due to which it provides an excellent fit of the suit, tightness. Some types have a chameleon effect, changing shades of color.
  2. Organza is a light, translucent fabric. It is used to create multi-layered suits. Despite its weightlessness, this material is rigid, durable, and holds its shape. It is made from silky threads or polyester, and has a shimmer, although there are matte types.
  3. Satin is a heavy, shiny fabric with a silky surface. The pleasant, cool material of the suit is incredibly comfortable, and the luxurious texture makes the product a favorite among evening dresses. Flowing satin favorably emphasizes the advantages, and the high density hides the disadvantages when tightly fitted.
  4. Knitwear is an elastic cotton fabric. Depending on the type of weaving and the thickness of the threads, it can be thin or dense, soft or hard. A universal fabric for creating suits of varying complexity.
  5. Chiffon is a flowing material with a light structure. Depending on the coloring, it can be transparent, translucent and opaque. Ideal for creating two-layer flowing suits for the warm season.
  6. Silk is a luxurious fabric of natural origin, possessing unique properties: hygroscopicity, air permeability, hygiene, ability to maintain a comfortable temperature in different weather conditions (in heat, cold). Suits made from it are distinguished by a soft shine, deep beautiful color.

Women's trouser suits for the spring-summer season of this year are distinguished by combinations of different types of fabrics. These can be decorative inserts made of leather, tweed, guipure. Two-layer options are used: lace over the main material, chiffon with a lining made of thick fabric.

Color and print

The current color range for evening suits includes basic tones, as well as bright colors. The former are represented by classic black, gray, dark shades of blue, beige and their combinations. Summer suit options are made in bright shades of yellow, red, turquoise, green, purple. A stylish trend is pastel colors: cream, peach, powder, as well as gray-blue. Silver shades and metallic colors are appropriate in the new season.

For mature ladies, noble wine marsala and emerald green are recommended.

This year's fashion favors classic prints - checkered suits (Scottish tartan, houndstooth), stripes are trendy. Geometric patterns most often decorate models of the autumn-winter season. Summer models are characterized by greater diversity: for example, abstract, floral, animal prints (leopard, reptile, tiger) appear. Young design houses (for example, Acne Studios) are returning the theme of urban landscapes to trouser suits.

Decor

The decorative elements of this year's costumes are the usual buttons and zippers. Original decoration with bird feathers is also relevant. Sequin and rhinestone appliques are back in fashion.

“More sparkle” – this was the motto of the shows, and many of the catwalk suit models were literally strewn with shiny elements: lines of metallic thread, sparkling stones all over the surface of the trousers, scatterings of beads on cuffs, collars, and the hems of jackets.

Another characteristic feature that distinguishes modern trouser suits for going out is the presence of such elements as fabric flowers, brooches at the collar, connected by chains. Rivets, popular last year, are losing ground. They remain only on the trouser belt or locally decorate the lapels of the jacket. The collections of leading design houses include suits with constructive inclusions of an interesting cut. These are multi-layered sleeves, asymmetry, flounces. Basques are returning to popularity: wide, narrow, elongated at the back or side. Bow trim has affected not only belts, waistbands: short, long, small and large, they are made in the form of ties on the shoulder, chest, back.

Selection rules

Properly selected items, and even pajama-style suits, can look not just outrageous, but also solemn according to the occasion. The main conditions: perfect fit, right color, cut. You need to choose a suit according to your age, height, and body type. Stylists' recommendations:

  1. The "apple" figure is characterized by problem areas in the abdomen and waist. For it, it is worth choosing styles that distract from these parts of the body with the help of correctly placed accents on fragile shoulders and slender calves. Suits with cropped 7/8 trousers, straight-cut jackets, elongated vests with dropped shoulders are suitable. Any congestion in the central zone (belts, folds, tucks) should be avoided.
  2. For an hourglass figure, suits with an emphasis on the waist are suitable: fitted jackets, belted jackets, tops made of soft fabrics with a triangular drapery from the collar, tapering downwards. It is better to choose classic straight trousers or cropped tapered ones, if your height and slender calves allow it. Side inserts made of lace or guipure will be appropriate.
  3. The "inverted triangle" figure will be balanced by a suit with a wide peplum on the jacket, which will add volume to the lower part. A set of a cropped top or jacket with breeches or banana-type trousers will do. In order to visually narrow the shoulders, it is better to choose jacket models without a collar or lapels.
  4. A pear-shaped figure requires visual correction in the hip area. Suits with straight classic trousers with an arrow or tapered in combination with an elongated jacket or vest will help to disguise excess volume. A wide asymmetric collar and dropped open shoulders will provide the necessary balance.
  5. The rectangular type requires an emphasis on the waist. Models of flared trousers from the hip with a high waist, coupled with a slightly fitted cut of a cropped jacket, triangular inserts at the waist, soft drapery of tops will be a wonderful solution. Loose trousers with a tight top equipped with a wide collar are suitable for the asthenic type of figure.

Age makes adjustments when choosing a trouser suit. If it is not shameful for a young girl to wear a model with a short top, open neckline and a bold creative style, then women of an elegant age will be more suited to classic options, a closed top, covered shoulders. The older the lady, the more restrained the design of the suit should be, the calmer the color scheme, the more laconic the decor.

Accessories and shoes

Accessories and shoes can not only complement and complete the image, but also radically change its stylistic direction. For example, women's classic suits with trousers from everyday can easily be transformed into evening ones with the help of brighter, more eye-catching handbags, shoes, and jewelry. Stylists' advice on choosing accessories comes down to the following:

  1. The quality of the selected jewelry, shoes, and bags should be top notch. Cheap costume jewelry, a clutch with traces of glue, or worn-out shoes will seriously ruin even the most luxurious evening suit.
  2. Stick to a stylistic theme: for example, a vintage bag with glam rock shoes is a clear mistake.
  3. Maintaining proportions: for petite girls, large accessories are unacceptable; large ladies, on the contrary, should avoid small jewelry that will only emphasize their size.
  4. Maintain moderation: do not allow the image to be overloaded with an excess of jewelry, as well as color accents. For example, a red pantsuit with a handbag and sandals of the same shade is a dangerous combination, since the tone is not calm.
  5. Carefully select the shape of jewelry or jewelry placed near the face. The rule of compatibility states that shapes should not be allowed to match. For example, a round face is best emphasized with long earrings, a long neck - with a short necklace.
  6. Shoes for a suit should not create a contrast with the handbag: for example, a combination of a crocodile leather clutch and python shoes is not recommended.
  7. Hats complement trouser suits. This headdress adds elegance and looks appropriate not only at a social event, but also at a celebration. For example, a wedding jumpsuit with a wide-brimmed hat equipped with a veil will be a fashionable alternative to a dress.

The possibility of purchasing suitable accessories for each outfit is a troublesome and expensive matter. Turning to the classics will save you from such a problem.

A win-win option for any suit is classic high-heeled shoes and a small, formal handbag in basic colors.

Stylish images

An evening look does not tolerate negligence. If you are not sure of the impeccability of your own taste, you can turn to the recommendations of stylists to create a fashionable option with a trouser suit. They are selected taking into account age and for different occasions:

  1. The image for a young girl can consist of a jacket with a low triangular neckline, an English collar without an undershirt or a top with short trousers - banana or straight. This set is ideal for a party. Another variation of the suit, which is suitable for graduation 2020 - a cropped top, wide flared trousers from the waist made of flowing fabric. The colors can be both basic, pastel, and extremely bright: turquoise, ultramarine, scarlet rose. The print is the boldest - animalistic, abstract, large geometric. As a wedding outfit, you can consider a set consisting of narrow cropped skinny jeans and a jacket with an asymmetrical peplum to the floor. Bridesmaids choose culottes with a short vest in pastel or, conversely, rich colors.
  2. Young women aged thirty and above prefer laconic two-piece suits with straight trousers and an elongated jacket, a suitable occasion to wear which will be corporate parties. Fitted tuxedos and flared trousers from the hip are suitable for going to the theatre. The recommended option for a trouser suit for a wedding is wide trousers-skirt with a high waist, complemented by a tight top with a cape.
  3. Women over forty will appreciate loose trousers made of soft materials of maxi length, flared or slightly tapered models with an arrow and a high waist. Fitted jackets, straight long suit jackets will create a unique image for the upcoming formal outing. More massive decorative elements will suit ladies of this age: fabric flower trim on the collar of the suit, satin lapels, brooches. Summer options can be decorated with a floral pattern, as well as traditional geometric ones: a cage, stripes. The image of a bride in a trouser suit is characterized by soft lines, airiness of the material: this can be a tunic and wide trousers made of flowing chiffon.
  4. Ladies over 50 will suit classic suits with strict lines. In combination with large jewelry, such an outfit will be appropriate in the theater and at a party. For the image of the mother of the bride, jumpsuits with a lace top and a light translucent cape of a straight cut are the best choice. The colors of ecru, milky, cream, peach range will suit a bride of this age, and the most successful style of the suit is straight floor-length trousers with a patterned blouse of the "bat" model. The height of elegance will be a Chanel-style jacket and high-waisted trousers of a laconic design. A flirty hat with upturned brims will complete the look.

A women's wedding suit with a skirt or trousers is the trend of the season. There are many variations: classic strict lines or a flowing silhouette, capes and spacious cloaks, basques imitating skirts, or tunics over trousers. The colors are also not limited to traditional white: pastel, silver, golden shades, noble wine, sapphire, emerald are acceptable.
