subject: Ladies Suits - Feel Empowered As A Woman [print this page] There is a long fashion history for ladies suits. They have been on the scene in fashion in one form or the another since the mid twentieth century.
They are typically made from two pieces. The two pieces can be a number of combinations. Ladies suits are usually geared toward the professional for wear to the work place, but there are many other options when it comes to ladies suits. There are some that have a top that buttons up or slips over the head and may have pants or a skirt as a bottom. There are also some that have jackets with either skirts or pants that coordinate.
There are some that are very formal, and can be worn to special events and occasions. The top part are formal wear may be very ornate and decorated with some type of beading and the bottom half of these sort of suits that are used for formal wear are typically long and made of luxurious materials.
They hit the fashion scene in the nineteen forties when women were forced into the work place in droves because of the deployment of many men during World War II. Up until that point women were primarily the caregivers and there were not much need. They took off and have been popular every since.
These the first were typically a button up top with long or short sleeves depending on the season and a skirt that came just below the knee. The favored material for these ladies suits was wool. They were very rarely adorned with much more than buttons. They were very plain and built to draw less attention to the woman that wore them.
Things have definitely changed for the ladies suits and are now available in a rainbow of colors, styles and materials.
