www.slate.com she says that one of the keys to achieving a great look is tailoring, and we couldn’t agree more. Here’s our guide to suit-wearing:

• As mentioned above, ensure the suit fits well. If you need to raise the hem for the perfect fit, then do so. It will make all the difference;
• Add some interest either with a statement piece of jewellery or some colour;
• Ensure your shoes and bag match the style and look of the suit;
• Skirt-suits are usually seen as more conservative but don’t blow it by going bare-legged, especially in court;
• It’s fine to mix and match separates. Just be sure that the colours match. For example, our Jackie O short jacket (shown above) mixes a timeless look with bold styling and is a perfect item to match with pants, over a dress or with a skirt;
• If you’re worried, you can never go wrong with black and white.
