It's a trend that we've borrowed from the '80s, and it continues to rule wardrobes despite making a return as long back as last year. The pantsuit is here stay. And to go with the weather, and all things summer, a menswear-inspired grey check variant, which would've been perfect until December, has now gone feminine and lilac. "It's not yellow or pink or anything as dramatic. A shade of purple that's in between [suits everyone]. The acidic pastel offers a fresh look that works for most complexions," says stylist and costume designer Indrakshi Pattanaik Malik.

You can pair the jacket with a variety of trouser styles, but ankle length cropped are most popular. "Again, it works for all body types and you can even use a belt to cinch your waist to give yourself more shape. Opt for a pair of white sneakers if you don't want the look to feel all buttoned up, or dress it up for the evening with a pair of heels," adds Malik.
