Jennifer Pant Suit

Resort Chic Redefined: The Strapless Printed Pantsuit

There are few pieces in fashion that strike the perfect balance between comfort, sophistication, and bold style — the strapless printed pantsuit does exactly that. With its smocked bodice and wide-leg flow, this Marisol Luxe piece channels the effortless glamour seen on the Chloé and Michael Kors resort runways, while nodding to the free-spirited confidence of Etro and Stella McCartney.

 

Why This Pantsuit Is So Flattering

 

• Smocked Bodice for Shape: The fitted top defines the waistline and provides structure, enhancing the bust and torso. This creates a smooth transition into the wide-leg silhouette — a design technique often used by Diane von Fürstenberg to elongate and flatter.
• Wide-Leg Pants: Flowing from the waist, the trousers drape with movement, offering length and balance. Similar looks have appeared in Saint Laurent’s Paris shows, where fluid pantsuits exude understated power.
• Strapless Neckline: A bold neckline that draws attention to shoulders and collarbones — echoing runway pieces from Oscar de la Renta, where strapless tailoring creates a sleek, modern femininity.
• Statement Print: The terracotta swirls bring a contemporary tropical flair, reminiscent of Hermès resort collections, where earthy prints evoke travel, freedom, and natural beauty.

 

Who It Suits Best

This style is versatile, flattering multiple body types:

• Hourglass Figures: The cinched smocked bodice highlights the waist while the wide leg balances curves.
• Apple Shapes: The elongating trousers and fitted top create vertical balance, skimming midsections gracefully.
• Pear Shapes: By focusing the eye on the neckline and upper body, proportions are evened out while the wide leg flows over hips.
• Petite Frames: The vertical line of the pant elongates the body — paired with wedges or block heels, it creates height and sleekness.

As Stella McCartney has often said, “clothes should empower the woman inside them.” This pantsuit embodies that mantra — giving structure where needed and flow where it flatters.

Styling Inspiration

• Daytime Resort: Pair with slides and gold hoops for barefoot-luxury chic.
• City Evening: Add strappy heels, a linen blazer, and layered necklaces for an urban twist.
• Holiday Glam: Oversized sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat, and woven clutch complete the resort fantasy.

From Runway to Riviera

The strapless pantsuit has been a runway staple in recent years — spotted in Paris at Chloé’s Resort Collection and in New York with Michael Kors’ breezy tailoring. It’s a style that merges glamour with ease, perfect for women who want to look elegant while feeling completely comfortable.

 

This Marisol Luxe piece captures that same spirit — perfect for Queensland’s coastlines, tropical escapes, or simply making everyday moments feel like a runway.
