A beautifully tailored suiting set that steps its way away from corporate wear is a hard one to find. But at the same time, a closet essential these days.
Women in suits have come along way throughout the fashion timeline. Something that was always well considered and reserved for the world in menswear, it wasn't until French actress Sarah Bernhardt started her scandal in 1870 through coveting boyish suits in her public appearance.
Then we travel to the 70s with Helmut Newton's iconic photograph of YSL's Le Smoking tuxedo that brought women in suiting to the attention of the mainstream. Cut to Diane Keaton's love for boyish suits then to Susan Sarandon and her look for Cannes Film Festival in '78 - a testament that there is nothing more endearing than a woman in the right suit jacket. Now, from the likes of Acne Studios and The Row, to perhaps the more accessible such as wool sports suit by New York's Noah and Melbourne's very own Arnsdorf - here at RUSSH we round up some of our favourite soft suiting for the coming cooler months ahead.
