Break up your black-on-black pantsuit with a white tee and neutral pumps.

Choose a longline blazer instead of one that ends at the hip.

Or a pair of culottes instead of slim trousers.

Mimic a pantsuit by pairing slim trousers or jeans with a matching vest, then add a bright bag to add interest.

Layer a lace top under a pantsuit. It's so unexpected and creative.

A subtle crop trouser adds a bit of sexy into your suit without it being obvious.

Play with proportions by layering separates in the same color in different lengths and silhouettes.

Choose a suit with a fun texture, similar to this tweed one layered with a turtleneck.
