Sharp Suiting | 3 Iconic Ways to Wear a Suit

The suit, a long-standing symbol of power and dapper dressing has been considered a staple solely meant for the boys. Long before the likes of Yves Saint Laurent, Katherine Hepburn and Bianca Jagger, the traditional suit was never intended for women to wear. But with the aid of visionary proponents, the notion of traditional dressing has been shattered and reconfigured into the ultimate women's suit. 

For fall 2016, the runways were ablaze with a dizzying array of suits fashioned in different fabrics, silhouettes and brazen colors. At ICONHOUSE, we believe a suit—whether its fashioned in rich velvet, a boxy silhouette or a classic tuxedo—is the ultimate way to power dress. When dressing up your suit, make your mark with off-the-cuff accessories—a gold signet ring, tassel earrings, a python wristlet clutch and dazzling heels add instant appeal. No matter the occasion, make a sartorial statement in a sharp suit this season.
