10 best women's spring short suits you can look forward to wearing after quarantine

There might not be much opportunity to wear them now, unless you want to while working from home, but it will certainly act as a pick-me-up.

Choose from muted tones, all over patterns or loud floral

Spring wardrobes offer the opportunity to wear shorter hemlines and go bare-legged as the weather warms up. The newest trend to grace shop shelves is the short suit, seen on the runways of Givenchy, MaxMara and Rejina Pyo at SS20 fashion week. 

They’re a relaxed take on a formal fit, ideal for wedding season, workwear wardrobes and off duty dressing.

For an office-appropriate piece, fashion stylist Aoibheann McMahon Tynan recommends a high waisted Bermuda short. “A pair with neatly pressed creases and belt loops is a nod to traditional tailoring to keep things sophisticated and chic, avoid a linen short suit for the office – after a day of sitting down, those shorts will be much shorter,” she says.

As for what to wear with it, it’s an opportunity to embrace a summer palette of pastels and neons, with nothing at all or a classic shirt (jacket done up of course) for the more formal occasions. 

“A tip to matching a printed or coloured shirt or top to your suit is to look at the lining of your jacket – most suits have colourful linings, use these colours as a guide to what shirts would match your look”, says Tynan.
