Many of us have a suit in our closet that we barely wear. Well, there’s no better time than now to dust it off. The Long and Short of Style’s Gail and Leslie Thompson say there is more than one way to wear a suit, and they have the looks to prove it.
Their biggest tip? Break the suit into separates—either wear just the pants or just the blazer. Watch the clip above to see what we mean, and look below for outfit details.
