Working Girl

Spring reveals a cheeky take on the professional two-piece. By Kelley Hoffman





Bianca Jagger, Lauren Hutton, and Catherine Deneuve all famously rocked a good suit, but after seeing some fresh-spirited blazer and trouser pairings on Hanneli Mustaparta and Dree Hemingway during Fashion Week, we're even more convinced this classic look has been reborn.

And this time around, our favorite suits are by no means business as usual. True, part of the privilege of working in fashion is that we don't have to deal with a stuffy corporate dress-code, but is it so wrong we're psyched for our own spin on a little business casual? Kirsten Dunst has sold us on spring looks from Boy by Band of Outsiders, and we're equally excited for styles from Acne, Something Else, and Lover. Paired with shorts, a vest, or a touch of tuxedo, you'll be sure to love these looks from top to bottom.
