‘Tis the season to tie one on because bows and knots aren’t just for the holidays. Designers were big on the motif for spring 2014 working them into a bevy of looks. Emma Watson and Kylie Minogue selected the most dramatic forms of the trend, with theatricalities adorning their dresses in Giambattista Valli and William Wilde respectively. Rosie Huntington Whiteley went for a more subtle approach via a small embellishment at the waist on her Saint Laurent mini, Kourtney Kardashian and Ashley Benson both tied one around their necks men’s wear inspired ensembles. The look is definitely picking up style speed.

 In 1966, Yves Saint Laurent introduced the now iconic Le Smoking, a groundbreaking yet sexy minimalist take on menswear for women. So in a year when the Saint Laurent label and minimalist designers commandeered everyone’s attention, it was only fitting that show after show churned out interpretations of the pantsuit.
From the Boardroom to Le Bain, the pantsuit is Spring 2013’s power player. Balmain went the bold shouldered route, and Victoria Beckham upped the sex appeal of her tuxedo with a skimpy bra top whilst at Stella McCartney’s the pantsuits were slouchy and sleek and tailored at Christian Dior’s.
