Ladies Choice: A Cobalt Summer Suit

In the summer, it is sometimes hard to look put together and stay cool. Anyone with experience walking around downtown midday wearing a suit during smog alerts can testify to this fact. However, this lovely lady’s bespoke suit is the perfect antidote to the stuffy suit. Her summer suit is made with an A-line skirt and jacket in cobalt blue. Cobalt is a colour which is very in vogue this season in addition to being our patron’s favourite colour. The cobalt blue Kid Mohair is one of USW’s most popular textiles, to the point where the mill has actually sold out of all their cobalt blues for the season.

The breakpoint of the jacket falls into a plunging ‘V’ with a peak lapel outfitted with our handmade teardrop button hole. The pockets, which are generally excluded from womenswear for aesthetic reasons, complement the fitted jacket’s silhouette while also keeping their necessary practicality. The piped border on the pockets give it a new point of interest and a nice rounded shape. Finally, the hem is 1.5″ above knee length –– feminine, a little flirty.
