Bye bye boardroom: the skirt suit isn’t just for the office anymore

Bye bye boardroom: the skirt suit isn't just for the office anymore

Forget the boxy, shoulder-padded silhouettes of the 90s; the 2025 skirt suit is sleek, fun, and incredibly versatile. Whether you go classic in grey like Sabrina Carpenter at the recent Dior Men show in Paris, modern like Daisy Edgar-Jones in Calvin Klein in New York, bold in bright hues, or edgy in leather, there's a skirt suit for every style.

This season, the skirt suit has shed its old-fashioned image and become a wardrobe essential, evolving from boardroom staple to off-duty favourite. Designers are experimenting with textures, patterns, and cuts, offering everything from structured designs to more relaxed, flowing options, so you can easily style it for both day and night – add a casual twist with ballet flats, or go for a polished look with heels.

Trends have been steadily moving in favour of the skirt suit ever since the the 'office siren' became the reference of the moment. Since then, traditional corporate wear has been steadily glowing up, with celebrities like Mikey Madison, Lily-Rose Depp, and Hailey Bieber are helping to revamp its image. Once associated with outdated office attire, today's skirt suits are now chic and youthful. Stars like Chase Sui Wonders are bringing fresh colours and patterns to the look, while Bieber leans into sleek, body-hugging designs that radiate confidence.

From tailored mini skirts to sharp-shouldered blazers and oversized jackets cinched at the waist, the skirt suit now blends timeless elegance with bold, modern energy. And with options in everything from wool to linen to high-shine satin, there’s truly a version for every season and setting.
