Slim pastel pants suits are 2020’s newest high fashion look. Get this designer look for less with this Theory blazer in sky blue. Wear it with matching cropped pants, dark pumps, and a crisp white blouse for an “of-the-moment” tailored skinny suit look.

People don’t pair pink and black too often, but we are loving how unexpected and fresh this combination is. Pink elevates basic black and just like that, you have gone for bland to stylish. Wear this pink cashmere Everlane sweater to work with black pants or a black skirt or a black blazer. You’ll look polished and pretty.
