Call HR! Stars Are Embracing Sexy Suits for Fall

Unfortunately for human resources managers everywhere, this season’s new crop of power suits are all about showing skin. Are they workplace appropriate? No. But are they sleek and sexy? Extremely. Throughout September, we’ve seen celebrities slipping into skin-bearing suiting that makes traditional tailoring a lot less stuffy. Worn without tops or covered in sequins, they’re beginning for a big night out on the town. 

At the Tom Ford show this past New York Fashion Week, Lori Harvey sat front row wearing the label’s brown suede suit without a shirt underneath, her plunging cleavage was punctuated by stacks of golden chain necklaces. Va-va-voom! At the Michael Kors show, White Lotus star Alexandra Daddario sported the brand’s pinstriped suit with a cropped, asymmetrical black bra top, exposing her midriff. Naturally, both stars accessorized with sky-high heels. 

The runways have also offered new takes on this trend. At Christopher Kane, a gray two-piece was worn shirtless and had high slits up the pant leg; At Dion Lee, the blazer was cropped, and the pants finished with hip-bearing cutouts. There were plenty of skirt suits at Kors as well, furthering the point that a 9-to-5 look can still be alluring. So there you have it: Don’t condemn your suit to a life in badly-lit boardrooms. Wear it to the club!
