I’ve SO enjoyed going through my skirt suit collection for this series of posts! I was reminded of how great a find this one was, during a special trip to the Big Apple.
All the suits you’ll see are from the 1940’s to the mid 1970’s. This one is so classic it could almost go anywhere in that period. In this case, the skirt has been shortened a few inches – always without cutting off material, so the original length can easily be restored!
The details most loved about this one are the great colors – always love the unusual combination of blues and browns – and the suede trim.
The classic cut is also one of the best, best things about any garment and why true vintage is usually way ahead of modern clothing. This suit, like most I’ll show, will look sophisticated and elegant for as long as I own it.
If you think “dowdy” or “matronly” when you see this photo, you’re not using real style sense. Don’t forget that an ensemble like this can be worn many ways, including using the jacket and skirt as separates, and with many different accessories, making it fresh and versatile each time.
And, there’s never any competition for true elegance . . . . . . . . . . .

This jacket is another real favorite. I always like anything from the Swing Era and the ’40’s.
