Yep, the suiting trend has yet to let up (nor do we want it to, necessarily). For several seasons now, tailored ensembles have had a stronghold on the trendscape. We’ve seen the trend evolve from colored suits to relaxed and oversized silhouettes to short suits and event buttoned-up three-piece suits. With each new season, designers continue to innovate within the overall theme and the present moment is no exception. That’s right, the newest suiting trend is here and fully happening, so let’s dive in.

In the fall/winter 2021 collections, coordinated sets featuring a vest or waistcoat with matching trousers emerged as *the* suiting silhouette notably from designers like Aliette, Etro, and Alejandra Alonso Rojas. But even though the aforementioned collections have yet to actually hit the market, the fashion crowd has already started adopting these vest-and-pants combinations. First Kendall Jenner stepped out in the summer suiting trend and then similar styles proliferated all over our Instagram feeds. 

Ahead, we’re charting the suiting trend from the runways to the street and, of course, providing you with the coolest shopping options to get in on it for yourself.

At Etro, shrunken vests were married to lower-rise trousers to create a hint of bare midriff that’s very Y2K-meets-2021.

Alejandra Alonso Rojas imagined the suiting look in a vibrant reddish-orange hue and billow wide-leg trousers.

Aliette did away with the preppier connotation and instead took on a punk effect in slick black vinyl.

Calvin Luo imbued the vest-and-pants combination with an edgier feel à la chain belts and metal detailing.
