The short and sweet suit
Shorts suits have been gaining popularity in recent years and continue to be hot news for spring/summer 2023. Our favourite find is this zesty lime blazer and drawstring-waist shorts ensemble. With a cool, slouchy fit and head-turning shade, it’ll cast aside any preconceptions you have about suits being dull.
Wear the jacket and shorts with a T-shirt and minimalist mules for a modern take on smart-casual, or get holiday-ready with a vest top and baseball cap. If you don’t fancy wearing shorts or the weather isn’t cooperating, there’s also a matching trouser option, so you can tailor the look to your needs.
The classic cream suit
A pair of wide-leg trousers will see you through the season in style and can be dressed up or down for any occasion. These pure linen trousers by Jaeger feature a flattering high waist and come in two lengths. A cream blazer with a relaxed fit and pushed-up sleeves works just as well for meetings in the city as it does dressed down with a simple T-shirt and flatform flip-flops for casual outings. Invest in Jaeger’s pure linen suit jacket and wear on high-rotation, alternating with trousers, skirts and even jeans for maximum cost-per-wear value.
Top-to-toe linen makes a seasonal change from double denim or comfy knitwear separates, without compromising on comfort – an elasticated or drawstring waistband keeps things effortless. Gild the look with subtle gold jewellery and add a cross-body bag for on-the-go ease.
