Summer Suiting

August 21, 2024,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

Despite my lack of posts here (it’s been a very busy few years), I’m continuing to strut around Boston with eye-catching outfits and engrossing reads. I love, love a statement suit and this short sleeved vest version is perfectly adapted for summer weather. 

Suits are the original matching sets. Flowy, two-piece outfits may be flooding Amazon carts today, but suits were operating as multifunctional wardrobe essentials from day one. This suit is particularly well designed for mixing and matching. The vest looks great over a tulle skirt or with a leather mini and the pants will pair ideally with an oversized sweater come fall. This bold print is also poised to mix with other patterns, I’m already dreaming of it with some bright pink and orange hues. 

At this stage of the summer I’m ready to transition from cotton midi dresses designed to battle humidity to the more complex, layered looks of fall and winter. This suit bridges the seasonal gap perfectly until temperatures finally drop low enough for me to break out the leather jacket.
