Designers are offering a new twist on power dressing – hip and trendy suits

It’s safe to say that most working professionals own at least one suit, but not everyone has that standout, stylish piece – one with an edgy vibe and flair.

While the suit is meant for serious business, certain fields, especially in the creative world, give some leeway when it comes to donning one.

After all, style is an extension of self-expression, and a suit doesn’t always have to be rigid and conventional.

Here, we spotlight a selection of suits from the latest collections that could serve as your style inspiration.

And if you’re looking to elevate your style, one of these could be the perfect pick.

Our favourite is a khaki pantsuit comprising a double-breasted jacket with concealed buttons and cargo style pants complete with zippered pockets and straps.

The latter detail makes this suit from Dior’s Spring/Summer 2025 collection extra special as you can alter the pants’ silhouette by tightening or loosening the straps.

Classic tailoring meets contemporary flair at Saint Laurent as the French brand proposes wearing suits that are loose and large.

It seems that the oversized style is still in vogue after making its mark just a few seasons ago.

Its Spring/Summer 2025 collection includes XL pantsuits in mostly neutral colours, with strong shoulders, matching neckties and accessories such as thick glasses similar to the late Yves Saint Laurent’s iconic look.

Flamboyant yet freeing, considering that office wear tends to look the same, Moschino brings a new style spin with a black double-breasted blazer worn with sarong style pants cropped just above the ankles.

Underneath, a long, ruffled pink shirt stays untucked, its hem peeking out from beneath the blazer.

It’s a powerful statement for a suit, one that signals creativity and confidence.

Local designer Kit Woo known for his avant- garde designs presents a dramatically eye- catching suit in black with a deconstructed tailoring that makes any old suit seem incredibly boring.

The pantsuit, with its artful disregard for symmetry, looks haphazard, but it’s such a statement piece that the lack of structure only adds to its allure.

High street label H&M’s dark coloured pantsuit may seem ordinary at first, but the double-breasted blazer sets it apart with just two visible gold side buttons, each in a different shape. Talk about a stylish double twist!

Stella McCartney’s latest features a pinstripe blazer paired with culottes creating a contemporary look.

A hoodie worn underneath the double-breasted blazer lends an unexpected casual element.

High-cut sneakers and an oversized bowling bag complete the look. Now, that’s how you stand out from the rat race!
