Sometimes, the dresses need to sit this one out. They stay zipped in the closet, waiting for their red-carpet moment, while the suits step forward and remind us who’s really boss. That’s exactly what Liquorose did — and not once, but twice.

Her first look? An off-white pinstripe power play. Think oversized double-breasted blazer with sharp lapels, wide-leg trousers that command respect but still let you breathe, metallic flats for grounding, and dark sunnies with gold jewellery to keep things cool. Add in that tousled bob with wispy bangs, and suddenly a boardroom-ready suit feels like it just walked out of a street-style snap in Milan.

But then she dialed it up. Enter: the monochrome chocolate-brown fantasy. Big blazer, matching shirt, flowing trousers — all smooth and seamless. Burgundy sandals for contrast, layered gold jewellery for shimmer, and that bob reimagined with vintage finger waves. The result? Nothing short of cinematic.

Two suits, two completely different moods. One relaxed, one dramatic. Both proving the same point: suits aren’t just for business. They’re for brunch flexes, fashion week sightings, or whenever you feel like being the main character. Liquorose didn’t just wear them — she made them move.
