Pantsuits are only for the bourgeois bankers? This cliché has long been outdated. Because a) more and more fashionistas are showing us how stylish pantsuits can look and b) we have known at the latest since the successful series "Bad Banks" that bankers are not so bourgeois. But let's focus on a). So-called power suits have been encountering us recently on the red carpets, in office looks or in the casual street style variant. We have the style guide.
That's why the pants suit is now called Power Suit
When pants suits became a trend through Marlene Diedrich at the beginning of the last century, they were a clear feminist statement: women don't have to dress feminine. You can wear the same practical clothes as men. At some point, however, the pants suit had a somewhat gray, dusty image. Feminists again deliberately dressed up to show that femininity and thus also feminine clothing have nothing to do with weakness.

Today, the pants suit as a power suit combines the feminist idea of the day with a lot of (feminine) styling potential. An outfit with a modern trouser suit stands for female power like no other look. And the fashion statement works both in the office, at events and in leisure time. We'll show you how to choose and style the right power suit for every occasion.
We have put together our favorite power suits for every occasion here:

Are power suits suitable for everyday use? We think so! It is important that you loosen up the elegant look a little. This works best through the shoes and top that you wear under your pants suit. Combined with sneakers and a white print shirt, each power suit looks much more relaxed.

But the choice of the model, especially the pants, is also crucial. Slightly shorter pants look much more casual. Pantsuits that are not made of the classic solid material also look much more casual. A flowing fabric ensures a comfortable and cool look.

For the office look with a power suit, a rather clean styling is still recommended. Here, however, it is also crucial how the dress code otherwise looks at your work. Do you run around with you more casually? Then the everyday looks are probably more for you. However, if there is a clear dress code, you should move with your styling in it.

[anzeige] After my operation, I slowly find myself back in everyday work and am almost restored. But even though only a few days have passed, I have the feeling that the work is stacking up and overwhelming me. Perhaps it is my general absence of the past few days and weeks and at the same time the aspiration to do justice to everyone – both my private and my professional environment that currently puts me under such pressure, but as a self-employed person you cannot always direct work away, it can just stays there and piles up until I take care of her.

A monochrome powersuit in a bright color, for example, creates an eye-catcher effect. You can wear a plain turtleneck underneath to make the outfit perfect. Suits with classic patterns are also suitable for the office.

If you want to dress for a wedding or a chic evening event, the Power Suit is the perfect alternative to an elegant dress. Whether at the Berlinale or the global fashion week: everywhere you see stars like Cara Delevine in a power suit walking on the red carpet. Often the top under the blazer is rather tight. The combination of bra and blazer is a real eye-catcher at evening events.

At a wedding, however, it is advisable not to be dressed so liberally. A pastel pants suit, however, is just right for the occasion.
