Style with swagger: Women own the suit and tie look
In the fashion world long dominated by gowns and glitter, leading ladies have been making a bold shift. Many are opting for tailored suits and sharp ties, redefining red carpet elegance and challenging traditional gender norms.
With every crisp lapel and confident stride, these women are proving that power dressing knows no bounds. Here's how you can take some fashion inspo.
'Choose luxe fabrics like silk, satin, or crepe to bring softness to the look'
The boldness of tailored suits and sharp ties combined with a feminine touch of luxe fabrics is an unstoppable combination, when it comes to power dressing. Celebrity stylist Riddhima Sharma recommends, opting for luxe fabrics. She says, "Choose luxe fabrics like silk, satin, or crepe to bring softness to the look.
Femininity is not about dresses or frills—it's about expression, balance, and self-assurance. A woman in a blazer and tie can be just as graceful, stylish, and empowered as she is in a gown.
A well-fitted blazer and pants are non-negotiable. Opt for structured shoulders, nipped-in waists, and cropped or flared hems to accentuate your natural curves. High-waisted trousers or pencil-cut pants elongate the legs and add sleekness to the outfit."
'Blazers are versatile and shouldn't be limited by height or body type'
Blazers and ties are one of the most versatile wardrobe staples and have been a dominating trend off late. "Cropped blazers tend to flatter petite frames, while oversized or anti-fit styles often look amazing on tall girls. That being said, blazers are one of the most versatile wardrobe staples and shouldn't be limited by height or body type—they can be styled to suit anyone," says celebrity stylist Ashna Makhijani Shah.
Box- Styling hair to nail that ultimate boss babe blazer look
When styling hair to nail that ultimate boss babe blazer look without losing the feminine edge. It's all about mirroring the structure of the suit while softening it to celebrate the woman wearing it.
- Opt for a half sleek hairdo. This one's your perfect middle ground, structured crown with flowy ends.
- Women can also go for the Ariana-style, mid half pony. Think of it as the sweet spot between a full ponytail and leaving your hair open.
It lifts the face, keeps the front clean, and lets the rest flow. Structured yet soft. Bossy but playful.
-Another interesting option is the voluminous '80s Blowout. It spells big hair, big energy. It's classy and controlled, think old money meets new ambition.
