Redefining Femininity: The Modern Woman’s Suit
Slowly but surely, tailored suits for women have become a wardrobe mainstay. Why? Because, like all the classics, they represent a timeless sense of style and are imbued with a deep sense of versatility, ensuring that they can be worn from season to season.
However, with increasing popularity comes questions - how do you style custom women’s suits? What are the key trends to be across? What’s the right fit for me? Here at Oscar Hunt, we’ve got the answers and this week we’re going to be breaking down exactly what you need to know when searching for the perfect suit.
Suit styling and trends
While the world of tailoring is generally immune to the tides of trends, there is variation when it comes to popular fits and silhouettes. The women’s suit trends in 2025 that are most pronounced in the showroom are a shift to looser shapes and more play with proportion.
In action, this means that we’re seeing contrast between looser, more billowy trousers and then slightly more tailored or structured jackets. What we love about this shift is that it really opens up the use cases for a suit, making it just as easy to wear with sneakers and a sweater underneath as it is in a more classic ensemble.
Speaking about women’s winter suits in Australia specifically, we’re also seeing a lot more colour than you might typically expect during the cooler months. Key examples include shades of red like cherry and oxblood as well as warmer brown tones.
Suit fit
One of the most common comments we get from our clients is the frustration they have felt in the past when trying to purchase tailoring off-the-rack. This is where made-to-measure has a true point of difference as we alter every fabric block and pattern based on your unique specifications.
So, what’s the process to get there? We start with a 45-minute consultation to both understand your brief and take measurements. Whether you’re looking for women’s formal suits or a more casual blazer, our expert team will be able to put forward the most relevant fabric and styling options for you.
From here, we’ll then invite you back into the showroom 4-6 weeks later to try on the finished product. This is also an opportunity to make any further adjustments and tweaks to the garment to ensure that it fits to perfection.
A key call out as part of this process is that our team are adept at not only creating garments that fit - they also know how to make pieces that are truly flattering and can advise accordingly throughout the tailoring process.
