There's nothing subtle about these autumnal colors. From crimson red to cobalt blue, the new power suit is all talk, all action. Powerful stuff.

Celebrity Style: Kate Hudson

FabSugar — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 04:30:22 -0700

Kate Hudson left her casual California style behind when she jetsetted to London. The actress headed to dinner in a white suit, blue striped shirt, and Jimmy Choo's bracelet hobo. Silk scarves were all over Dolce & Gabbana's Fall collection, and now one has made its way onto Kate's neck. Nice. Since this look is a tad whitewashed, I also provided a metallic gray Kooba purse for some variety.

Signature Stretch Piqué Collection: Fitted Blazer - $69.00	AKA New York Mens Shirt - $168.00
Silk Twill Jockey Scarf - $325.00	Jimmy Choo Medium Cuff Bag Accessories - $2,450.00

Celebrity Style: Kate Moss

Only Kate Moss can make going from a suit to a bikini seem totally normal. The supermodel got dressed up in one of my new favorite color combinations: white and ivory. Her ivory suit means business but looks all pleasure, and her crisp white tank lends the casualness that Kate craves. The brown wedge sandals also dress down the look and make it more hot-weather practical. Here is proof that suits don't always have to equal business.

Alvin Valley ivory stretch poly tuxedo blazer - $300.00	LA Made 2x1 Ribbed Modal Cotton Tank in White - $22.00
Sine by Parameter ivory linen double pleated pants - $144.00	MARC JACOBS Wedge - $259.00
Derek Lam Celeste Tassel Clutch with Tubing - $1,350.00

Trend Alert: Sleepy Suiting

FabSugar — Wed, 07 May 2008 13:00:22 -0700

If only all of us could look as cool as Emina on the Bottega Veneta Spring runway in sleepy suiting. Well, we can certainly try! Who's with me? I suggest you wake up and dust off your suit trousers, raid your boyfriend's/brother's closet and get to work. However, the key to this look is to appear totally nonchalant. Now, we're working hard for the unfussy look, therefore unkempt hair, bedroom eyes and little (or no) accessories are perfect bed buddies.

On Our Radar: Machine Washable Suiting

FabSugar — Fri, 02 Nov 2007 03:00:22 -0700

The power suit is back: but with a new power. It's now machine-washable and with a flattering cut. For all you young professionals out there whose suits are like a uniform, take a breath of fresh air. No more hauling piles of blazers, pants, and skirts back and forth to the dry cleaners on a weekly basis!

Nicole by Nicole Miller has an affordable "Smart Suit" at JCPenney: $132 for jackets, $72 for pants, and $60 for skirts. Erin Fetherston for Target has the more feminine washable skirt suit at left coming out in mid-November, and Kohl's Apt. 9 label offers a washable tweed pantsuit. Some are also wrinkle-resistant, so you can just wash and wear.

Spring Peek: The New Suits

FabSugar — Fri, 12 Jan 2007 16:03:05 -0800

Judging by your response from the recent Look of The Day: Androgynous Cool I think lots of you will be excited for this Spring Peek. Menswear inspired suiting was a prevalent look on the runways and I think it was refreshing and sharp at the same time. Whether deconstructed or perfectly tailored, like at Chloe (pictured here), The New Suits are as empowering for women as ever before. Move over boys!

Celeb Style: Eva Herzigova

FabSugar — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:00:22 -0800

As we approach the holidays, I'm on the lookout for original party looks. Eva's wink may not be up to par, but the slick tuxedo-inspired look she wore to the 2010 Pirelli Calendar cocktail reception in London was beyond Fab. She dressed up her slight harem pants with delicate sandals, a draped white top, and a velvet blazer. Feminine details like a black lace peekaboo bra and radiant art deco earrings are suave touches. A jolt of red satin via her clutch is holiday-tastic.
