5 ways to wear a women's suit outside the office

Long associated exclusively with the professional world, tailoring has since conquered other playgrounds. It's no longer reserved for meetings and interviews: today, it's also invited for evenings, weekends and even vacations. At 17H10, we believe in the power of an intelligent wardrobe, where a well-cut piece can live a thousand lives.

Here are 5 ideas for revisiting your suit outside the office, without losing an ounce of allure.

1. Casual with sneakers and a white T-shirt

The winning combo for weekend strolls or casual lunches. The suit (ideally fluid or slightly oversized) takes on a whole new look when paired with certain items, such as a pair of white sneakers and a basic or illustrated t-shirt.

Tip: roll up the jacket sleeves slightly for an even more relaxed touch.

2. For dinner or an evening out, with a lingerie top and heels

A suit becomes immediately sensual and sophisticated when mixed with a lighter or more precious piece, such as a silk, lace or thin-strapped top. The result: an assertive, elegant and resolutely feminine silhouette.

Tip: add a structured clutch and statement earrings... and you're done.

3. On vacation, the jacket as an overshirt

A lightweight suit jacket can double as a mid-season jacket or chic overshirt over a tank top or crop top. A perfect look for brunch, an exhibition or an evening on the terrace.

Tip: wear the jacket open, sleeves rolled up, with high-waisted shorts or flare jeans.

4. Pants alone with a loose sweater or oversized shirt

Separating the two pieces of the suit means reinventing them. The pants for example, go very well with a cashmere sweater, a structured sweater or a loose shirt half tucked in.

Tip: in winter, add a long coat and boots for an effortless but polished look.

5. Your women's suit in total monochrome look... for a chic event

Wedding, christening, vernissage, ceremony: a well-chosen suit can be the perfect substitute for a dress. Especially if it's colorful and enhanced by elegant accessories and heels.

Tip: consider a revisited three-piece suit.

Suits are no longer confined to the office. It can be worn, interpreted, and diverted with creativity and pleasure. Investing in a quality suit gives you the means to compose dozens of looks, for every moment of your life.

At 17H10, we design our suits to take you everywhere. From the boardroom to the café terrace, from a video call to a vernissage. And you, what's your favorite way to transform the suit?
