Women's Pantsuits

Boyfriend suit or menswear-style pantsuit are the new title for what I call a "woman's pantsuit." I guess girls feel comfortable wearing their boyfriends clothing; a bit more lose in style. What the stylists are saying today is that men originally wore the suit, and it is the in thing for women to wear a tailored type outfit that can be worn for work or out for the evening.

Wear the sleeves straight down on your arm with a fitted blouse and fitted trousers with a lovely long chain necklace, heels, and you are ready for work or when you are ready to go out for the evening to a fancy restaurant.
Push the sleeves up on the arms, throw on a lightweight cotton top, change your jewelry to possibly a large bauble beaded necklace, shorter heeled shoes, and you are ready for "casual."

A light camisole is also an option if the weather is a bit more warm than expected and you still want to wear something long sleeved like your pantsuit.

Your pants can be all sorts of different lengths like cropped, skinny, boot-cut, flared. I know that I love the look of the cropped pants with a small heel. As I am getting older (sorry ladies, don't always want to mention age), but I am having problems with my knees so that beautiful 3 inch heel just does not do it with my knees, especially being bed ridden for four days which happened to me last month. I love heels, but don't want to suffer that much.

The more tailored the suit, the better the expert designers say.

Also, just a CrystalsCreations tip, mix and match blazers with dress pants. If you go on a business trip, take two suits and three to four tops and your set with mixing and matching. Just remember to take a couple of necklaces and earrings and your off.

No matter how much weight you have on your body, skinny like I was three years ago, or a bit over weight like I am now, I still like to look nice and dress up in clothing so that I feel fresh and rejuvenated everyday.

One day, I may feel like wearing stripes, the next day a floral print, another day jeans, tee and jean jacket, the next day a dress with a sweater. However your fancy, spend some time first of all thinking about what you really like in style and then devote your time looking, pricing and talking to sales clerks if you do not have someone that can help you with the perfect fit.


This one night was bible study, and I wanted to dress up a bit, so I wore my khaki and black striped tee, black dress pants with a black stretch belt and black pumps. Just a bit dressy, but not over the edge.

As you can see, I was blonde and skinny three years ago, now I am heavier with short hair. You need to be happy with yourself either way. Three years ago, I was sick with fibromyalgia, three years later, I am recovering and feeling healthy. That is what counts my family and husband tell me.
