I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the biggest fan of wearing suits. Most trousers end up digging into my stomach and I just end up feeling constricted like I can't move around at all. (Not that I'll ever need to break into dance or do summersaults or anything but, hey, I'd like to if the opportunity arises.)
I own a couple of really great blazers but they aren't necessarily my first choice when it comes to picking out an outfit. When I initially saw the Popsugar at Kohl's plaid suit, I thought it was cute with the sporty blue side stripes — but, it was the trouser's drawstrings that really caught my attention and made me take the plunge.
Since nine times out of ten you can usually find me in a hoodie and sneakers, I decided to push myself to wear a suit three different ways: for work, the weekend, and date night. Read on to see how I styled it ahead. (Spoiler alert: the trousers were supercomfortable, so I can dance if I want to.)
Work
I decided to dress up a bit for the office by wearing a fun, tie-front Popsugar at Kohl's Blouse ($18, originally $44) underneath my blazer. The ruffles on the shirt also gave my outfit a polished look. I accessorised with a pair of ankle strap heels that made me feel like I was ready to get down to business.
Date Night
Since the drawstrings give these trousers a super laid-back feel, I styled the suit with a cosy, grey Popsugar at Kohl's crop top ($20, originally $30) that showed off a hint of skin. I finished off my date night ensemble with a pair of black Gucci mules and a bedazzled headband. I guess you could say this look is my ode to Gossip Girl's Blair Waldorf.

Weekend
Anyone who knows me, knows that I love sneakers. During the weekend, I styled my plaid suit with a hooded Everlane sweatshirt underneath, which acted as the perfect layering piece. I tied my hair up with a scrunchie and finished my look off with a pair of Fila sneakers that are practical to run errands.
See? You can totally move around to your heart's content in these pants.
