Pros and cons of pantsuits for women
When choosing a trouser suit, it is important to remember for what event and what type of figure it is selected for.
There are many advantages to this garment.
It:
- convenience and practicality... Trousers are almost the most comfortable clothing for women. They provide freedom of action. In a tight skirt or short dress, you should always make sure that nothing is lifted up or twisted. Pants will allow you to relax and behave more relaxed;

And in summer - also a wardrobe item that will save you from the wind or sudden cold snap. Focusing on the weather conditions, you can take it off or put it on your shoulders;
- masking properties of trouser suits... If a woman has an imperfect figure, she definitely needs to find her perfect pantsuit. Pants can hide full thighs or crooked shins. Jacket - cover the massive shoulders, but noticeably emphasize the lush chest. Here it is only important to correctly assess the type of figure and refer to it when choosing a suit;

After all, one and the same set can be worn in different places, with just a little work on the image: tuck the legs, put on additional accessories, put on a new layer of clothing under the jacket.
Speaking about the disadvantages of trouser suits, it should be mentioned that:
- for the most part, they represent a classic version of clothing that would be inappropriate to wear for a jog or a walk in the forest;
- an incorrectly selected model will reveal all the flaws in the figure;
An evening trouser suit for women should hide flaws - this set of clothing requires special care. Pantsuits are not washed, but dry cleaned. The ideal set should be ironed and steamed, the arrows should be straight and crisp. It takes extra time and effort.
How to choose a festive trouser suit for women
An evening trouser suit for women is an ideal and unusual option for a special occasion. To choose it correctly, you need to pay attention to several points.
Material
It is better to choose an evening suit from dense fabrics that keep their shape well. An important point is that the fabric does not wrinkle or wrinkle. The publication may take a long time, so you need to give preference to "long-playing" materials. It can be suiting, dense knitwear or a combined fabric with wool in the composition.
Tweed suits are the trend of the season. The naturalness of fabrics is also important, synthetics and cheap samples are visible to the naked eye.
Sizes for overweight and thin women
Evening dresses, be it a dress or a trouser suit, must fit perfectly on the figure, emphasizing the advantages and hiding the flaws as much as possible. It is easier for thin and tall girls to cope with this task. It is important for them to consider that the line of the shoulders of the jacket should coincide with their own shoulder level. The length of the trousers is not too short.
Excessive thinness will hide a not too fitted jacket. Sizes in generally accepted rulers - 40-42 (XS), 42-44 (S), 44-46 (M). Women with more curvaceous forms need to take care to stretch the figure visually upward. For this, trousers are selected with a high waist. They visually lengthen the legs and hide the folds on the abdomen.
The jacket should not be short, it is good if it slightly covers the hips. The size of the suit must be suitable: pulling and pinching the folds of the body are not allowed. Sizes for such women: 48-50 (L), 50-52 (XL), 52-54 (XXL).
Colour
Color solutions for trouser suits are diverse. For the evening, it is customary to choose dark or bright colors. Remember that thin women should choose lighter colors. And for overweight women - darker, concealing volumes. Red will be an elegant choice for those who prefer bright accents.
Such an image will definitely not go unnoticed, so it is necessary to provide for everything to the smallest detail: perfect makeup, manicure, hairstyle, shoes.
Black is an all-time classic. It will look great on all types of figures. But it should be understood that such a strict image is not suitable for merry holidays. In this situation, bright accessories or shoes can save. Evening suits with bright patterns will definitely stand out from the crowd.
This option is well suited for creative parties where a sense of style and uniqueness is appreciated. An animal print on evening suits has been a fashion trend for several seasons in a row.
A leopard-print suit on the figure will highlight and emphasize the individuality of a woman at an art exhibition or jazz concert. Pastel colors (powdery, beige, gray, blue) are suitable for women who want to emphasize their softness and femininity.
Decor
A female trouser suit (evening or casual) can be decorated with decor, provided that the colors and model allow it. A brooch on the collar of a jacket will accentuate the neck and neckline. For strict and dark suits, it is better to choose a laconic one in gold or silver. For bright and non-classical options - massive brooches with stones and rhinestones.
A scarf will adorn the costume in muted tones.
Thus, it will make it more festive. There are many ways to tie: as a tie, or just throw it around your neck. The belt on the trousers is another fashion trend this season. It can be either a narrow classic leather belt to match the suit, or an unexpectedly bright wide belt with a massive plaque.
It should be understood that such an emphasis will definitely draw attention to the waist and abdomen area. Therefore, women with problems in this area are advised to give preference to a different type of decor.
Season
A trouser suit should fit the season. In warm seasons, you can give preference to light or bright sets of silk flowing fabrics. In cold - denser evening versions with wool in the composition, the colors may vary. A selected trouser suit out of season will be striking. And a woman will not be able to feel comfortable in it.
Appointment
When going to the evening, you need to make sure that the pantsuit is appropriate in the context of the future event. The wedding involves the presence of 2 central figures at the celebration. Therefore, you should not choose an outfit that will compete with the bride's dress. A snow-white classic suit will not work. Dressing in monotonous mourning colors is also inappropriate.
It will be great to choose a bright suit that emphasizes the festive mood. If you have to visit the birthday of a loved one, you can choose a set of calm tones and take time for an elegant hairstyle. This image will be friendly and relevant at the same time.
If the party is dedicated to your own holiday (birthday, name day), then you should think about a more intense look: a suit with an active print and bright decorations will set you apart from the general crowd. New Year is a reason to dress up in all the best. A sequin trouser suit is the most fashionable fall-winter trend of the outgoing year.
Here you should think about massive accessories: earrings, bracelets, brooches. The image will complement the evening makeup with an emphasis on the eyes.
For those who like to dress more modestly, you can choose a fitted suit with lurex or give preference to unusual fabrics: suede, mother-of-pearl silk.
Corporate or business dinners require a certain dress code. It's important not to overdo it with bright and flashy details. An elegant tailored suit will be an excellent choice. With the hair pulled back and a bare neck, it will create a festive look. Choosing jackets that emphasize high breasts is not worth it, this can confuse employees.
Exhibitions, theaters, concerts - a reason to walk your perfect pantsuit. By connecting imagination, you can create the most unexpected image. Here it is important to remember only the cultural component of these places: it is not appropriate to dress in defiant and vulgar outfits.

What to combine with an evening trouser suit
Women's trouser suit (evening one requires a dress code in shoes) can be combined with a variety of accessories, jewelry and decor items. Correctly selected accents will emphasize the taste and sense of style of a woman.
Footwear
Shoes need to be selected depending on the style of the suit. Classic options must be combined with pumps with heels. In summer, it is allowed to wear graceful sandals with thin wedges without coarse details. In cold seasons, you can choose versatile pointed ankle boots to match the suit.
High boots will not be comfortable and proper footwear: the creases on the legs from them will look unaesthetic.
Casual suits can be paired with neutral shoes. These can be high wedge or flat sandals in summer, and men's style low shoes in winter. Loafers or ballet flats are a convenient option for walking. The trend of this season is the combination of trouser suits with sports sneakers.
They can be both calm shades and bright colors. At the same time, it will be appropriate to tuck the trousers carelessly, exposing part of the leg and focusing on the shoes. Wide leg or flared trousers must touch the floor and completely cover the heel... It is also a fashionable novelty for the fall-winter season. Shoes can bring bright colors to a boring office look.
Choosing gold or silver shoes for a black classic suit, it is easy to turn casual clothes into a festive outfit. Light-colored shoes for a white set will emphasize femininity and create a delicate monochrome bow. The texture of the chosen shoes (varnish, combined leather, suede) will also refresh the formal suits.
Accessories
Fashion accessories will complete the stylish look. First of all, it is the right bag. Classic evening suits suggest a laconic clutch or a medium-sized bag with a strict cut. The sport-chic suits are easy to match with tote bags or miniature cross-bodies.
It is important to remember that a bag can complement the image, but it should not draw all attention and be too flashy and pretentious.
Jewelry is an irreplaceable attribute of an evening dress. It can be small jewelry: diamond studs in the ears, a small classic ring with a stone, a chain bracelet, a minimalistic pendant. They are suitable for gentle and romantic natures. Lovers of colorful accents will appreciate the massive types of jewelry that will also fit well into the look.
Extra attributes, such as a ring for each finger, are unacceptable. We don't combine gypsy style with trouser suits. The headpiece is another means of creating a complete evening look. The hat is a classic and versatile option for trouser suits.
Wide fields will make the look languid, and narrow ones - playful and flirty.The Gavroche style is often combined with masculine-style caps. If you are not sure about the compatibility of the items of clothing, it is better to give up the headdress altogether.
Outerwear
Winter time involves outerwear, but it is not so easy to match it to a trouser evening dress. After all, a jacket or a jacket are voluminous products, often with active and massive sleeves. It is necessary to take care that the image is not weighted down and looks as organic and neat as possible. A wide coat with flared sleeves is perfect for a classic.
A fur coat can be chosen so that it will not be too tight and tight. A good option for autumn is a poncho that will hide a jacket in itself and at the same time warm with its folds. The trend of this season is a short loose-fitting jacket, dressed over an elongated jacket. At the same time, its edges look out beyond the boundaries of outerwear.
Combining the incongruous is fashionable and stylish today. Layering is the best solution for a trouser suit. The most daring fashionista can wear several types of jackets or jackets that differ in texture.
