How To: Summer Suiting

I'm not one for the classic suit, in fact I hate buying pretty much anything that matches. But there's something about the classic suit that is so demure and ladylike. But instead of feeling a bit too "mature" in the classic shapes and cuts, there's a way to make yours thoroughly fresh for modern wear. Keep fabrics and textures seasonally appropriate--if they're not, make sure to mix up color like this yellow tweed for Summer. Keep hemlines short and fits flawless to play up your shape. Add edgy accessories to pair ladylike with edgy to keep the mix young. You have a new work standby that will take you places.
