GUTTER CREDIT HERE LIKETRENDSBelieve us, we’re as tired of the
dress-for-success template –
which begins with power
shoulders and ends with
Manhattan-skyline heels – as you are.
But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t
consider a suit for autumn. The new
breed is as mature and risk-free as a
market in equilibrium, rendered in
corporate shades of black, grey and
brown. Seek out little details that can
add charm to conventional prototype:
shoulders that slouch just so; hemlines
that surprise; and accessories, such as
chunky chain necklaces and scarf-
handle bags, that delight. Don’t be
afraid to throw in the odd curveball: a
cherry-red silk shirt with ’70s lapels
promises joy. Who said workwear had
to be dreary? EPIt’s all about asset managementPL AYYOU RSTRONGSUITWorkwear specialJEN CAREY
