Today I’d like to break up a white, cream or ivory suit by exploring what to wear with a white blazer besides the matching trousers or suit skirt. When you break up a suit, it can turn out way more outfits and it can also be adapted to any type of event outside of work. Age doesn’t matter. After retiring, you can keep your suits and break them up to create casual and evening outfits. Whether yours is part of a suit or on its own, let’s take a look at how to wear a white blazer with more things so it can go more places!

Spring brings with it brighter, lighter clothes. This is the time to start choosing spring colors to really get into the mood of the season. This post contains the new colors for spring/summer and how to wear them.
I like to start wearing spring colors from the first day of the season until the last. That’s why I am posting these colors now instead of when they were first announced in the fall!
The Pantone Fashion Color Report provides a comprehensive overview of fashion designers’ use of color in their collections. The color palette shown here is based on New York Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2022. The trending colors are generally available in the stores, so they should be fairly easy to find. You may also have these colors in your wardrobe already. Updating your colors keeps your look modern. Age doesn’t matter. And remember, older is bolder! This year’s palette gives you the option of piling on the bold colors.
I will recommend which are the best for your coloring, below the color swatches. If warm spring or autumn colors look best on you or if cool summer or winter colors are your best, read my summary located below the color swatches.
And finally, I will include ideas for some of the best ways of combining the Pantone colors together. You’ll find that at the bottom of this post.

I’m really glad that trousers are being worn in casual ways. I did not get rid of my wonderful suits from before I retired. I figured they would still be useful if I just used each piece separately with other tops and bottoms. But they just didn’t seem comfortable for working from home. I’m looking forward to learning how to wear trousers in a relaxed way. I never thought of wearing them around the house before. I love the fact that there are endless possibilities when we explore new things.
Also included in this post is how to break up a suit by taking the trousers and pairing them with other things rather than just with a matching blazer. That way, they are wearable in so many more ways from casual days in to evenings out! Age doesn’t matter.
Starting with a style tip, I have collected outfit combinations for casual, business and evening attire. And beyond that, there are lots of outfit ideas for all sorts of situations. So I hope you will find some inspiration below to help you wear your trousers in new ways!
