The classic blazer and pants combo has had a full-blown glow up as celebs are turning this once-serious silhouette into something bold, flirty and party ready. The pantsuit is no longer just workwear, it is a whole fashion statement.
Here’s how you can make a power suit just as hot as a cocktail dress.
