Lesson 4: Suiting

Long live the suit. It’s not going anywhere this Back to School season, just getting a slight update. Brands like Iris Setlakwe and Mos Mosh have made an update to the classic jacket-trouser combination with deconstructed elements. While suits might not be your everyday wardrobe staple, there are elements of Back to School suiting that can be separated and incorporated in a less professional manner. For those who enjoy a sophisticated style, this is for you. Back to School Trends: Suiting.
