Look Who Wins mystyle's Shout-Out of the Week!
Sat., Sep. 27, 2008 10:40 AM PDT by Sydne Summer
Petra Nemcova was a sartorial shock in this menswear outfit during Milan fashion week. This is a model who flitted around Cannes flaunting cleavage and bare feet, for crying out loud. But once we got used to her being covered up from newsboy cap to oxford toe, we thought she looked just as good as Jessica Stam and Co. in Dolce & Gabbana's tweed fall ad.
The cropped skinny pant obviously isn't for everyone, but the idea of a three-piece suit is, especially for a recessionista. You can wear the outfit as a whole, à la Petra, pair the vest or blazer with jeans, tuck a feminine blouse into the trousers, wear the jacket and pants as a traditional suit...the possibilities are endless. Since you're going to get so many uses out of this staple, spend a little extra to ensure good quality, like the lined wool options below.
