Of all the borrowed-from-the-boys staples, it’s the suit that’s experienced something of a renaissance with street-style vixens- venturing into the more-often menswear associated style. The androgynous look can often seem too masculine, but did you notice? All of these women have long, flowing hair – its something G talked about when she first made the chop to her own locks. Having to dress with a more ladylike attitude in mind. But thats not to say a short-haired female can’t pull off a suit !
In this case, all these looks are worn with a boyish charm to them : flats, trainers, an athletic-ease about their approach to the traditionally uptight suit. Don’t they seem so casual, and confident, and cool?! I think its the subtle contrasts each applied : all buttoned up but with a little ankle, or neutral tones all-over and a pale pink hit of color on the shoe.

Great choice of topic for your stylish blog! These women look beautiful. I used to have very short hair, wore suits and still felt feminine, I had an amazing job, kids and was inspired by the beauties of the 30s or the 80s with incredible businesswomen :)
Vraiment je suis pas tellement d’accord sur la coupe de cheveux. Une femme au cheveux courts peut être canon en tailleur. Pour moi les cheveux ne sont en aucun cas symbole de féminité. La coupe courte c’est rock et moderne, pas masculin.
I always have felt good in a suit. It’s like armor. It provides warmth against A/C. It can camouflage faults. It always looks “correct,” as the French say. I applaud the return of suits. Caroline Issa looks spectacular, as usual, and makes a suit with sports shoes look completely logical.
As for the hair, I think a woman with short hair can look feminine in a suit if she amps up the earrings and maybe also the lipstick. But seriously, a woman can look feminine wearing sweats and unfeminine wearing a ballgown. It’s more about personality and personal taste than hairstyle.
La féminité (ou la maculinité d’ailleurs) ne s’exprime pas dans la longueur des cheveux ou dans un costume. Ce sont juste des accessoires avec lesquels on s’exprime et pas des panneaux avec un symbole féminin ou masculin.. Vive les genderqueer!
A part ça, elles sont toutes sublimes et je meurs un peu de jalousie tellement elles ont la classe ;-)

Relaxed elegance. Somehow it’s not that easy to do. I can’t nail it for example. :)

J’ai toujours préféré le costume sur les femmes, elles le portent mieux, c’est tout de suite moins formel.
Vraiment top cet article!

Perfect style!
it is interesting how many different ways they dress down the suit. I think of it less as feminizing the suit and more as relaxing the suit (for me the Theyskens effect).
re hair and suits – I don’t actually own a pants suit but since I’ve been sporting very short hair, I feel more attraction towards fitted skirts or at the least, a feminine colored lip (or pretty shoe).
the thing I like about a suit is how it can be a uniform. save time and if it fits you nicely, it will always be stylish.

Love love love the dark suit shown in the first photo!!!
Sorry, but Sarah looks like she’s wearing grey flannel PJs.
I love suits and I love wearing them with flats. I have a navy suit I bought from The Kooples that I wear every time I have an important meeting. It gives me confidence because I feel comfortable but professional at the same time. It’s my go get them uniform!

Amazing pieces features here, Kiesha’s outfit is my favourite, it’s so easy to wear but you can dress it up with heels for the evening. Solid staples in any capsule wardrobe.

Really, really cool ! I wish my bosses dress up this way every now and then !
Super élégant sur une femme, le costume est un must have qui doit se trouver dans la penderie de toutes les femmes !
Le contraste féminin/masculin donne un look superbe !
