A good statement suit, or power suit, is a must in every woman's wardrobe. This article explains what a power suit is, the current trends surrounding power suits and how best to style these beautiful suits.
What is a power suit?
A power suit is a suit for women that deviates from the conventional. It plays with the lines of the suit, for example, a more structured fit and the blending of masculine and feminine standards. A power suit exudes strength and self-assurance, a suit that always makes you feel good.
Origins
The first power suit was designed and marketed by Coco Chanel, this was in the 1920s. At this time, women were participating more in the labour market for the first time and, of course, there had to be a uniform to match. This first suit consisted of a structured jacket with a skirt. The female standard was given a whole new lease of life. Not soon after, the first power suit with trousers followed, a real revolution for the time.
In the 1980s, the power suit was reinvented. The power suit then appeared in brighter colours and there was a particular emphasis on excessive structure in the suit, think especially of the large amount of shoulder pads that were very popular in the 80s.
