Gone are the days when suits were worn by only bankers or corporate workers. Suits are fast becoming a staple in every woman's' closet and have become the go-to fashion item when looking to make a statement. They can be worn to any event depending on the style and cut of the suit.

On that note this, here are 4 tips to consider when picking a suit for yourself.

1. Go bold

Considering the fact that suits have been long seen as a formal clothing, it can get tricky to wear a suit without appearing a bit serious. Having this challenge, go for a suit in a bright hue or one with prints or patterns in bright hues.

2. Play with embellishments

To avoid formality, opt for a suit with embellishment, see it like toppings on your ice cream. Your suit does not have to be plain/boring. You can play with any form of embellishments, could be fringe, petals, badges, as you please. You can buy an already made one or take an old suit and DIY (do it yourself).

3. Texture.

This is one tip that applies in most styling tips. Texture can help transfer the most basic outfits. Go for a sequin suit, a mix with velvet, a suit made from lace fabric, anything that sits well on your skin and makes you feel comfortable.

4. Wear it all with confidence. This can never be overstated.
