Suiting is always stylish. From business suits to leisure suits, there’s a suit for every occasion. This has definitely been seen all over the runway this season, as shown in the leisure suits trend report. But on-screen, suits have dominating since the beginning of films. Let’s take a moment to look at the best suiting in television and movie history.

Audrey Hepburn’s style is iconic in and of itself, but her opening outfit in the classic Breakfast at Tiffany’s shows that suiting is about so much more than suits. Her classic lbd made of suiting, paired with chunky pearls and a slim cigarette holster, is the perfect ensemble for perusing the sales floor at Tiffany’s or husband hunting in central park.

Great article, Molly! Love that you included the Clueless chicks. My favorite suit from the movies is Rosemary Clooney’s ensemble at the train station in White Christmas. Actually, I think it is a coat. But it’s such a beautiful ensemble!
Oh I love White Christmas! All of her outfits in that movie are stunning!
