With summer sun comes a hefty social calendar booked up with weddings, rooftop gatherings, backyard parties, and fancy events galore. Usually, we’re reaching for our trusty cocktail dresses to serve us through these soirées, but sometimes they just don’t cut it — often, unpredictable weather and outdoor venues call for something a bit more covered up and practical; or occasionally, we hanker after an outfit far more versatile (one that we can whip out for casual events, beach holidays, and even work meetings). We’re, of course, talking about the fancy pantsuit; a late summer savior, champion of all those with uncommonly cold knees and worries of sudden downpours. After all, what’s better than one piece? Why, two separates that can be mixed, matched, and individually repurposed into other ‘fits. Not to mention, pantsuits are also immensely comfortable while still making a bold sartorial statement.
