When it comes to how to wear, firstly, forgo a neatly pressed shirt or crewneck underneath. The bravest suit-wearers are ditching tops altogether, wearing their jackets buttoned or belted and with nothing else. Paul Smith's pink corduroy number would tip into a Margot Tenenbaum pastiche if worn with a rollneck - but with a black silk neck tie and chunky black ankle boots it feels right for right now. Similarly Zara's emerald velvet suit takes on a sensuous vibe with nothing but a hint of bare skin beneath.
If a flash of décolletage feels too eyebrow-raising for day, look to the high street for head-turning cuts and fabrications. Atea Oceanie by Laura Myers offers beautifully understated suiting - Kristin Stewart is a fan - and Whistles has a grey speckled wool suit that would look snappy with nothing more than a camisole (of which you'll be needing plenty; lingerie is big news for spring so get a head start this side of Christmas).
