How would you wear this suit? (Pics)

[VintageSuitQuery]

My fiancé has very kindly bought me a gorgeous 1950s vintage sage green skirt suit. Peplum, nipped waist, stunning.

I was wondering, how would you wear this? Think is probably for work. For reference, I am 32, work on the periphery of financial services, middle-senior management.

My style is pretty classic, but very 50s: nipped in tailoring, pencil skirts, high neck blouses. Usually navy, camel, cream. Green will be quite a change!

The suit is the first picture. The others are for reference so you can see what it looks like on.

I love this style of clothing so feminine and fabulous. What good taste your fiance has. You will look so chic at work in this suit.

Wow, lovely. I'd wear a silk shell top underneath so nothing detracts from the suit.

Camisole top, so not visible; natural tights and heeled brogues. Much as it would have originally been worn.

That's lovely! I would sometimes wear it all together, with darkish brown thin tights and brown high-heeled lace-up shoes (perhaps a plain, thin, round-necked jumper underneath), but I would also wear the jacket separately with a longish black pencil skirt and classic black courts, and the skirt with a black or burnt orange batwing jumper or a Fair Isle jumper with earthy colours in, thicker tights and low-heeled lace-ups.

Thank you all - these are some great tips.

Little nervous about head to toe green at work, but it may help make me stand out if I need to give a talk/presentation, instead of my usual dark colours (though saying that I have plenty of woollen dresses in mustard, rust, teal, red etc. which I wear to work. Think it is the idea of a coloured suit that is unusual for me!)

Stunning! If that's already you're style then i think it'll really work.

Gorgeous!!!!
Absolutely rock that!

Lovely. Black silk t-shirt, sheerish black tights or micronets, black heels. But yes to wearing separately too.

You could also do a silk scarf at the neck, cravat-style, which might add a flash of a contrasting colour. Personally I would do a shocking pink silk square but other colours (azure, leaf green, French navy, apricot come to mind) would all work well.

I particularly like the cravat idea! Thank you :)
