Suit Up

This spring, the sartorially astute have been sporting some seriously swanky suiting. (Ok, I pledge the rest of this post is not written as one gigantic alliteration.) I for one can’t get enough of these sensational suits (last one, promise), and the best part of the rampant suiting trend is that these suckers are best for work or play. This particular full suit may be best worn at the office, but you better believe the pieces will be stepping out of my closet separately for some of my favorite après work and weekend looks this spring and summer.  
 
However, if you’re new to this look and you’re anything like my brothers, you may right away salivate over all of the “OMG SHOULDER PADS” jokes that spring to mind upon initial viewing. I’d never want to deprive you of any joyous mockery, so before you fall completely in love with the style, let me just help get all of the heckling out of your system: 
 
        1.    Even my Aunt Cindy’s feathered bangs are thinking you look like an 80s throwback. speaking of which… omg it’s #throwbackthursday. 
 
        2.    If the wardrobes of Elaine Benes and Clair Huxtable procreated, your super-shouldered suit would be their vaguely androgenous lovechild. 
 
        3.    First we hear that New kids on the block are trying to stage a comeback and now THIS?! 
 

Ok enough already. These double-breasted beauties are back in full force so get on board. I’m also rocking the monochrome trend today as well because this color? Delish.
