We're inching our way back to some pre-COVID normalcy, like finding ourselves more in the mood to dress up, especially for back-to-office days. Which means it's time to part ways with Zoom slacks and reach for more 9-to-5 appropriate ensembles.

Speaking of office-ready outfits, one of our favourites is the trouser suit. Why? Firstly, they’re very easy to wear because they pair supremely well with any top — from a simple white T-shirt to a checked top.

That’s not all. A single-tone trouser suit, especially in classic black, is your safest bet for all boardroom meetings, while a printed design can help you earn the most stylish title at your workplace.

Keen to give them a go? Check out the styles below.

For something more feminine, you can always fall back on a pink-on-pink combo. Prefer something more fun? Then switch your stilettos for chunky sneakers, and it’s sorted.

For a less stiff-looking trouser suit, go for a slouchy silhouette like the above design by Mango. Its oversized fit offers a more laidback and youthful appeal as compared to the slimmer designs.
