TREND REPORT Suits you
Tailoring is back in focus this season. Liadan Hynes has your guide to the big and bold shapes that will work for the office this autumn/winter
Calvin Klein, pictured left, Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney, and Celine all sent the new tailoring down their autumn/ winter runways. It’s part 1980s revival — big shoulders, wide silhouettes, a focus on loose, drapey cuts; but there’s also a touch of the 1940s, with the focus on the waist. Key styling details include Prince of Wales check or Wall Street-style pinstripes; red and baby-blue shades; and double-breasted jackets. Wear it head to toe for work, and then take it down a notch for the weekend by pairing your blazer with jeans.
