But first, what does tailoring really mean in women’s fashion today?
What does tailoring mean in women’s fashion?
Tailoring is more than just fit, it’s about creating a sense of empowerment, that makes you feel put together and confident. Tailored pieces are cut and constructed to contour the body with intention, creating sharp lines, sculpted shapes, and fluid structure.
Tailoring styles not only pair effortlessly with one another, but also mix seamlessly with off-duty staples, making them the foundation of a versatile, considered capsule wardrobe.
Where to wear tailoring
At NADINE MERABI, we redefine tailoring through our signature lens. The ‘MERABI in Motion’ collection reimagines the modern uniform for women who lead, explore, and dress with purpose. Fastened with ornate gold clasps, each piece strikes the perfect balance between sharp sartorial lines and fluid shaping, delivering confidence and ease as she navigates the city.
Designed to move seamlessly from spreadsheets to spritzers, without the need for an outfit change. This is style that works around the clock and plays just as well after hours.
For Work
From morning meetings to late night networking, our CHARLOTTE trousers form the foundations of any day-to-night outfit. Born for business, but perfect for pleasure, CHARLOTTE trousers are crafted from our exclusive crepe fabrication, and feature a signature flared leg and a contrast satin waistband.
Complete the look with a sleek tote bag, a low bun, and subtle gold earrings. Add a silk scarf for a nod to classic suiting with a modern twist.
What Are Tailored Trousers for Women?
Tailored trousers are a wardrobe essential that offer both structure and sophistication. Our CHARLOTTE Trousers are a MERABI signature, available in timeless Black and White, as well as a bold new Pink hue.
Wear them with waistcoats for a sharp co-ord, or pair with a sleek corset top or blazer for elevated everyday polish.
FOR YOUR DAY-TO-DAY
Blazers aren’t just for the office anymore, they are modern staples that work from day-to-night.
Dail up to your day-to-day with NICOLA. This tailored blazer, available in White and Black, offers a sculpted take on classic tailoring, with cinched waist and padded shoulders, exposed seam detailing and signature cross-detail snap buttons.
Wondering what to wear with a blazer? Look no further than our CHARLOTTE trousers to complete the look. Opt for a full monochrome look with the matching trousers for a suit that means business.
Looking for a more casual aesthetic? Swap CHARLOTTE for jeans and layer the NICOLA Blazer over a simple t-shirt. Finish with white trainers and an oversized clutch for an elevated off-duty edit.
FOR PLAY
Waistcoats are this season's sartorial power-piece. Perfect for taking you from boardroom to bar, not only do they support ‘round the clock dressing’, but they also play well out of hours too. The ZOE Waistcoat, available in Black, White, and Pink, offers a fresh way to wear suiting. With its cinched shape, sweetheart neckline, and cross-detail button fastenings, it’s the ultimate example of tailoring with intention.
- For day: Style ZOE with coordinating CHARLOTTE Trousers and sleek loafers.
- For night: Elevate the look with the RAYE Black Micro Shorts, strappy heels and bold gold accessories.
For an after-dark feel, go bold: wear your waistcoat solo, with sleek tailoring on the bottom and a red lip up top. Perfect for rooftop drinks, gallery nights, or summer soirées.
How to accessorise a women's suit
Tailoring makes a strong statement on its own, but accessories can add a personal touch.
Here’s how to accessorise your MERABI suit:
- Gold accents: Mirror the gold hardware of the MERABI collection with chunky cuffs or layered necklaces.
- Heels that elongate: Opt for pointed-toe ballet flats or strappy stilettos to complement the flare of tailored trousers.
- Mini bags: A compact clutch or structured handbag keeps the look clean and intentional.
Opting for a blazer dress? Consider pairing yours with a layered chain belt for considered elevation.
