Power suits seem like a strictly cold-weather affair. Mostly because, well, they’re comprised of a long-sleeve jacket and a long pair of pants—both of which tend to be crafted from hefty, structured fabric. But this year, trendsetters and retailers alike are making spring/summer power suits happen, leaving the rest of us with a veritable plethora of warm-weather-friendly power suit options to shop, enjoy and wear all season long.
In recent years, women’s suits have gone from frumpy dress code requirements to fully iconic statement-makers. We’ve grown increasingly obsessed with the matching set, so it’s only fitting that we’ve grown equally infatuated with the two-piece’s professional AF old sister, power suits, too. The thing is, power suits have been traditionally thick, sturdy and structured—not the finest complement to summer hottest, most humid days. When myriad designers showed power suits at September’s Spring/Summer 2019 New York Fashion Week, many of us were left wondering how, exactly, something so inherently hefty would translate to the calendar’s warmest months. If spring/summer power suits were going to deliver on their promise to be one of this year’s favorite warm-weather trends, they would need a makeover twice over—once in terms of textile, and once in terms of aesthetic, too.
But we’ve arrived at this much-awaited juncture, and everything has gone according to plan: Summery power suits are here, en masse, to pervade our wardrobes, our lives, our Instagrams. The warm-weather suits on offer are vibrant, bold and textured—everything you’d want for a summer look. And they’re varying degrees of lightweight, too. No longer are your most badass looks confined to the frigid months of fall and winter; there are so many summer power suits on offer that you could probably sport a different one every week this season. Peak boss bitch style awaits—all that’s left to do? A little shopping.
