Cream trouser suit - yay or nay?

[JolieGirl]

I have a wedding to go to in a couple of weeks time and after looking balefully at the contents of my bank account I am now looking equally balefully inside wardrobe to see what I can recycle/reinvigorate to wear!

I have a gorgeous heavy cream trouser suit which I bought from Coast about 4 years ago. I can't wear anything more floaty/summery really as I had a second baby 3 months ago and still feeling a bit plump around the middle although back to a size 12. Are cream trouser suits a bit naff though nowadays?? The last time I saw anyone wearing one was that bitchy Katie Hopkins from the Apprentice!

If not then ideas please on how to make it bang up to date - shoes, accessories etc etc please!!

[JolieGirl]

I wore a gorgeous cream trouser suit to a wedding once - it also had a slight black pinstripe in it.

Fuschia pink would be lovely underneath it and would brighten it up. But most bright colours could look nice.

As for accessories - I bought a big pin on flower and wore it on the lapel (sounds awful but looked fantastic - not sure where i bought it from but you can get them in a lot of places) and some lovely beads.

Sure it will look fab it you dress it up nicely.

go for a over sized clutch i think

i love amber beads or some brown, chunky bangles would look nice

shoes - pointy toes if they are peeking out from under the trousers, or wedges - definitely a heel

My friend wore a cream suit with lime green underneath and a lime green hat to a wedding. Looked stunning.

something like this? also available in purple..very on trend colour

i would say neutal or cream shoes would make your legs look longer(not sure if you need that) any nice heels really..nice clutch to match top ..off you go

Aslong as not over size 14 will look v nice amsure.

A friend recently wore a cream trouser suit with a kind of lilac-ey coloured silky top underneath & strappy sandals in similar lilac colour. Looked stunning.

I would go with a vibrant colour in camisole/blouse, jewellery or neck-scarf, clutch bag. Whichever is your favourite. Shoes can be expensive - do you have some to go with?
