Has anybody seen a stylish white trouser suit affair thingy? Does such a thing exist even?

[JuanPotatoTwo]

Please say yes :).

I'm going to a summer party outdoorsy type event in June, quite smart from what I can gather. I don't really feel comfortable in dresses/skirts so wondered if something as per my thread title would do. Not tall enough to do flared/palazzo legs. Any suggestions or alternatives please? Thank you.

I'm sure I saw a nice one in next recently

Personally I don't think a white trouser suit sounds right for "quite smart".

[KikitheKitKat]

Wallis?

Like charity dingles wedding suit in emmerdale?

[JuanPotatoTwo]

Thanks for replies. Don't like that Wallis one, sorry:(.

starfish - you mean it wouldn't be smart enough? How could I wear trousers and still look smart?

Off to google Next and Emmerdale :)

[JuanPotatoTwo]

Umm, I do actually quite like that suit Charity Dingle's wearing. Is that very wrong?

[uptheauntie]

I think a white trouser suit can look v smart, especially with a pair of good heels and bag. And a nice top under which will look good with the trews alone, if you remove the jacket.

I am confident I have seen one in French connection and reiss....

[JuanPotatoTwo]

That's what I was hoping uptheauntie (love your name:)) but feared I might come over a bit Saturday Night Fever.

Steben I have a suspicion you're withholding info! Do you own a suit from Reiss or French Connection per chance?! if so, spill. Couldn't find one in FC but saw this in Reiss://www.reiss.com/womens/suiting/raffa/green-mist/

It's really nice I think (I know it's not white)?

[uptheauntie]

The reiss one is lovely, but I think I prefer it in white actually. Thec green colour is perhaps a little muted?

And no they aren't sat night fever, unless you planned a black shirt and black platforms with it.....

[MrsLettuce]

I like the cut of the green reiss one but the colour is a risk pastel will date damned quick too

The cream one they have ATM is nice, like the pastel pale blue one too but the white waffle one? Not sure.

[JuanPotatoTwo]

Ok not the green one then, thanks. I like this jacket - is this the one you mean MrsLettuce?

[MrsLettuce]

no, no, if that shade happens to flatter you (and a potentially shorter shelf life than white doesn't bother you) then absolutely go for the green. In an of its self it's a beautiful shade but not one that will suit everyone, by a long shot. The cut is lovely.

cream
blue - am rapidly going off this one, fabric is annoying me. Haven't seen it in the flesh though.

white waffle

[JuanPotatoTwo]

Oh it wd have helped if I'd linked to the jacket I thought you meant, sorry .

But, as it happens, you linked to it anyway :). I'm leaning towards that one now I think.

[MrsLettuce]

Karen Millen have a white summer tuxedo - jacket & trews - the styling is very odd and the components aren't shown together either but I suspect it'd be worth a trying on.

[MrsLettuce]

oooh, if you have a need for a soft green something this top is a beauty.

[JuanPotatoTwo]

That green Ghost top is beautiful - really pretty.

When you said the Karen Millen styling was odd MrsLettuce I think you were being most polite. I probably would've said awful :)

[JuanPotatoTwo]

Opened this thread in a vaguely interested sort of way - and what do you know? It's my zombie thread! Feel strangely flattered :) Although I cannot for the life of me remember what event I was attempting to dress go!

[JuanPotatoTwo]

Dress for, not go
