In a fashion trend cohesive with the women’s movement, the 2018 pant suit is on the up. Women of Hollywood have been embracing the look that’s no longer ‘man-style’ but rather generically concurrent with style, grace and sophistication.

While we’ve been enamored by the plaid variety of late, the latest in suit-chic is block colour in the richest of greens and the prettiest of pastels.

The official jury for the Cannes Film Festival this year included high profilers Cate Blanchett, Lea Seydoux and Kristen Stewart, all who cut fine form in tailored suits. Blanchett in a soft peach Stella McCartney, Stewart in a blue-toned wool weave Chanel and Seydoux in a rich bottle green by Louis Vuitton.

Just yesterday, Victoria Beckham strutted the daytime streets of NYC in an emerald green style of her own design while fashion favourite Olivia Palermo set fire to its evening streets in a deep-green, draped, velvet set on her way to the American Ballet Spring Gala. The finishing touch of gold jewellery and the extra-long cuff hemlines maketh the look.
