The look: After-hours suiting

Ever since Yves Saint Laurent debuted Le Smoking in 1971, a perfectly cut suit has been the confidently cool woman’s go-to when it comes to evening dressing. If you gravitate towards the tux styles favored by Kate Moss, try AlexaChung’s sumptuous velvet suit on for size – accentuate the boy-meets-girl mix by adding a liquid-silk camisole, a statement bag and cascading earrings. Then channel your suit spirit animal (Bianca Jagger circa Studio 54, of course) and take your look for a spin on the dance floor.
