One of the things I look forward to the most in the colder months is being able to wear suits. There’s something about putting on a new suit with stockings and either sky-high heels or killer boots that ups the “sophistication” factor for me. Recently, I looked in my wardrobe and took inventory of all of my suits, and I realized some have been there close to a decade. They are classic pieces that can be matched with a number of different blouses and accessories and have been impeccably tailored.
While I like what I have (Ralph Lauren, Jones New York and Banana Republic to name a few) I decided I wanted to invest in a great designer suit, one that has been flawlessly executed and one that fits some of this fall’s suit trends: feminine and flirty silhouettes, jeweled closures and textured fabric. So, imagine my excitement when I saw some of the suits that recently came in at Encore Boutique; Several St. John and Chanel suits in shades of black and cream. It was like a designer Christmas! I couldn’t resist sharing the information. Check out these great photos:
Chanel
This Chanel suit has been made with immaculate fabric that provides a bit of texture. It's lining carries the label's signature chain along the hem and comes complete with button closures carrying the interlocking C's the label is known for.
This Chanel two-piece knit set has a very relaxed and feminine structure. It comes with pockets on the cardigan and has a clear button closure at the nape of the neck carrying gold interlocking C's.
This beautiful Chanel suit is truly unique, with it's intricate fabric weaving and quilted feel. It noticeably has no button closures along the front breast of the suit jacket, and comes complete with the inside chained hem.
This georgeous Chanel garment is a modern take on the classic "Chanel Suit," introduced in 1920. Its relaxed silhouette is adorned with oversized pockets and is lined with a shiny, metalic fabric that adds a great contrast to it's outer knit shell. The button closures on the sleeves and down the of the front jacket carry the signature interlocking C's. (My personal favorite)
St. John
St. John is known for their unparalleled ability to create glamorous knit garments using Swiss-made knitting machines and twisting and dying the yarn in-house in their paint lab. The beautiful St. John jacket pictured above has gold and jeweled frog closures and is embellished with gold sequin on the lapel and cuffs.
This black knit St. John beauty is truly a unique find. It's actually a two piece set where the jacket and sweetheart-shaped vest are attached. The cuffs of the sleeves and vest are adorned with matching sequin detail.
These black and white St. John knit garments are both distinct in their own way. The sheath dress (pictured left) is perfect for the fall and is begging to be styled with a pair of knee-high boots. The suit (pictured right) has beautiful fringe detail along the sleeve and pockets and has stunning jeweled button closures.
