The next big fashion trend is catching on! Gen Z and cusper celebs are continuing to reclaim the pencil skirt suit, rescuing a look that had been locked away in the fashion dungeon for decades. This reboot is characterized by star-studded cameos from heavy hitters, each one adding their signature flair to the evergreen getup.
Daisy Edgar-Jones stole the show in a killer strong-shouldered knee length skirt suit from the Calvin Klein Collection. Her selection is a great indication of the unique flair that this generation is adding to classic silhouettes. Actress Lily-Rose Depp turned heads in a chic button-through houndstooth skirt and coordinating double-breasted jacket from Chanel. She proved the versatility and elegance of the skirt suit with her chic and functional ensemble.
Supermodels Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner have both scored high fashion on haute couture hotness with their bike shorts looks. So it makes sense that both stars selected archival Thierry Mugler suits, honoring the designer’s bold legacy. They both share stylist Dani Michelle, who has been instrumental in crafting their aesthetic. It’s things like her efforts that let them stay out front in this fashion renaissance – it’s a reboom! Hailey Bieber wore a pinstriped Thierry Mugler skirt suit from the fall 1998 collection during a date night with her husband, Justin Bieber. The model and reality star looked fashion fabulous in a head-turning, red-hot Thierry Mugler skirt suit. This particular peplum piece is from Gaultier’s fall 1988 collection, “Les Infernales.”
Chase Sui Wonders, Anna Sui’s niece and heir to the fashion dynasty, has adopted the trend. To advertise her show, The Studio, she stepped out in a white satin skirt suit by designer Sandy Liang, complete with short, puffed sleeves. In yet another pre-promotional appearance, Kamala went for a bold Patou blue skirt suit with sharp lines and a button-up striped shirt underneath. Her selections demonstrate her distinctive individual taste. They further advance the growing popularity of skirt suits to the youthful, impressionable masses.
Mikey Madison has taken full advantage of this new trend. She has united with her celebrity peers to reanimate the skirt suit’s public perception. It’s pretty clear that the combined impact of these influencers is changing the way Americans view and wear skirt suits as a major trend in today’s fashion. Previously perceived as stuffy or too formal, they are now almost universally associated with trendy elegance and zesty freshness.
