Fall 2009 Trend Retro Glam: Power Suits

Tags: Fall 2009 | Fashion at Work | Retro Trend | Suits

If you're a fan of the classics, this Trend is for you - retro glam brings elegance & polish back to the mainstream. Leave the 80s to the rock chick, the classic glam girl embraces neutrals, austere elegance from the 1940s in tweedy skirt skirts and statement heels, and knows how to turn on star power with satin & brocade fabrics.

SUITS
While suits have made a comeback from the 80s (all shoulder pads & Dynasty!), this trend goes back a few more decades to the 1940s. Think of a young Joan Crawford, or the softer Bette Davis.. all business & streamlined in their dark suits. And nothing beats a pinstripe suit to streamline your own look!
Just remember to add a splash of Glam to your suit: short gloves, ladylike wraps, or a fabulous handbag (like Grace Kelly!).


Shopping Tip: A good quality suit will last many seasons - you can update the look each season by adding basic item pieces like a crisp new shirt, on-trend colour, even just a new pair of stylish boots.

Sandra Bullock looked elegant & unfussy in her pinstripe suit as she arrived at her hotel in London on July 2nd. Editor's Picks below, all new arrivals!
