STRONG SUIT
“Confident suiting continues this spring with a feminine twist. Tailoring can be soft and relaxed, or sturdy and shapely. Waist emphasis and soft materials such as silks, linens and crisp cottons evolve the masculine look of a blazer. Try layering a soft blouses under tailored pieces for the perfect feminine-masculine mix.”
