A Suit That Fits Blog

Back in the 80's Madonna's unique style blended confidence, power and femininity and inspired a generation of young women hungry to be taken seriously. Her ability to create trends, inspired by her outlandish music videos and own unique wardrobe, confirmed her status as an icon for her generation. Thanks to Madonna, the 80's became a time where women could wear a diamond studded cross, worn with a bra and bangles.

Her most adventurous and outrageous outfits include - the leotard worn in the ‘Hung Up' video, the famous Jean Paul Gautier ‘coned bra', and our all-time favourite: The 80's Power Suit. Madonna's first wore her power suit in the music video ‘Express Yourself', which underlined her message that women should assert their independence.

A Suit That Fits was thrilled to see that 25 years on, Madonna is determined to bring back the 80's trend: spotted last month at Diane Von Furstenberg launch party wearing a modern version of her tailored suit. She looked great, and the suit looked better than ever. Madonna combined her 2- piece -suit with a pair of wide legged trousers, adding elegance to the aggressive jacket. It's inevitable that as Madonna continues to adapt to the times, we will all follow suit (pun intended). The power suit is back and heading to a high street near you.

A Suit That Fits recommends that you wear your jacket with over exaggerated shoulder pads, wide lapels and an extra helping of confidence. Combine your jacket with feminine separates; by wearing it with a sexy pair of denim shorts, a deep cowl, fish-nets and heels.

For those in need of a further Madonna fix, Brand Madonna' continues to inspire our wardrobes; teaming up with her 13 year old daughter- Lourdes, and launching her debut fashion range: Material Girl. As the world awaits the unveiling of Material Girl, at Macy's department stores next week.
