If runway trends were any indication, pantsuits will be big for Fall. As someone who has never bought one (or tried one on), I was intrigued by all the tailored pieces I saw during Fashion Week. The pantsuit is effortless to style (you can wear a t-shirt underneath and be done) and it will lend anyone the cool-girl factor.
While I've seen plenty of people rock the two-piece set in various colors and designs, searching for the right one is rather difficult. You want something tailored, but not stuffy (especially if you work in a creative environment); trendy, but not over the top with prints. With these guidelines in mind, I searched high and low to find 17 pantsuit sets that fit the bill. You can bet I'll add some of the pieces ahead to my own checkout cart.
