The trouser suit dates back to the 1930s, when designer Elsa Schiaparelli cultivated the androgynous, tomboyish look that was so fashionable at the time. With a passion for style and a desire to create an elegant garment that emphasized curves with simplicity and harmony, she created the pantsuit.

The pantsuit was born, and was revisited by haute couture geniuses such as Yves Saint Laurent in the seventies. The pantsuit became a symbol of feminine liberation, allowing women to be comfortable, sexy and confident all at the same time. Popularized by the stars of the '80s, the pantsuit became a star item of clothing and the ideal evening wear.

Which pantsuit is right for you?

Contrary to popular belief, trouser suits aren't just for skinny women - all women can wear them.

O-shaped women can also wear them, as long as they're fluid, belted and not too big. Don't hesitate to shorten it by creating a hemline.

For I-shaped silhouettes, you can choose to wear very tight, second-skin-style pantsuits, or on the contrary, opt for very oversized pantsuits.

For X-shaped figures, a trouser suit tied at the waist will emphasize your hips and amplify the mermaid silhouette effect. For V-shaped silhouettes, fluid pantsuits with V-necks are preferable to distract the eye. For A-shaped silhouettes, it's best to do the opposite and opt for a pantsuit with ruffles on the upper body to balance and harmonize. For women with small breasts, strapless pantsuits are your best fashion ally!
