Trend: Summer Suits

Summer suits can hardly be worn to a real office but they look so smart and stylish that ladies will still rock them. Made in a variety of colors and prints summer suits can come trimmed with lace which looks very cute. And while designers team those up with shirts and ties you can experiment with different items in your wardrobe to create the unique look.


What I'm wearing:
Blazer: H&M, Shorts: Temptation Boutique, Shoes: Fashion by Marypaz, Top: H&M Divided, Accessories: AVON



The Spring-Summer 2012 Runway was crawling with stylish short-suits from Rachel Zoe to Jill Stuart to DKNY. All the hottest labels have been spotlighting the menswear-inspired look, perfect for the warmer weather!


Some of my favourite looks are feature throughout this post, and they include the use of bright colours, mix ‘n matching, eye-catching prints, feminine silhouettes, texture and more. There are so many adorable variations for this preppy style to get creative with! Check out how some celebs have worked this look and given it their own flare true to their sense of fashion.




Take some inspiration from these style examples. These women show how you can keep it casual or dress it up — making this style perfect for any occasion. Take a dare and wear a short suit to a bridal shower or birthday party instead of the conservative dress you normally choose. Short suits make it simple to be classy and sassy.

Remember, you can be as creative as you’d like with this in terms of fabric, colour, and print — but a proper fit is a must!
