It’s been 30 years since Yves Saint Laurent debuted the safari suit on the runway, but designers are still as infatuated with this hunting ensemble. And now, it’s no longer reserved for vacays in Africa. This season, Michael Kors sexed it up with a cap-sleeved, fitted jacket and shorts, while Hermès went with a baggier silhouette. We show you how to take this versatile classic from your desk to dinner.
Office:
Have some fun with the classic button-down shirt; pick one with an animal print to go with the safari theme of the suit. Tone it down with flat sandals and a structured bag to show you mean business.
