Suiting’s been around for the past few seasons, and designers are not getting tired of it – frankly, neither are we. The tailored set is here to stay for 2020, and it’s now more feminine, less borrowed from the boys. And the mainstay of the suit is undoubtedly the blazer. It’s smart, it’s chic, and the right cut or style will definitely give you a confidence boost in the boardroom.

We recommend one in light silk, linen or crisp cotton that emphasises the waist, with eye-catching buttons on the sleeves to inject that element of fun. And don’t forget to play with tonal and textural contrasts. Whether it’s paired with a feminine skirt suit or a slouchy pantsuit, it’s all about you-do-you tailoring now.

A double-breasted jacket with signature ’80s gold buttons might smack of a Dynasty throwback, but wearing it with shorts transforms it into a high impact and contemporary look.
