A bright green power suit leverages a vest as a top for a warm-weather vibe.

As much as I love a neutral moment, there’s something about dressing head-to-toe in a bright color. And brights just feel like the right move as we move into warmer weather. A Kelly green vest and trousers pair perfectly with all the green outside as nature comes back to life, and these pieces combine for a serious power suit situation.

After scoring this suit at Mango (in Dublin on St. Patrick’s Day weekend, how appropriate), I had to bust it out for the May issue of KC Homes & Style. I love the edgy combination of the bright color with the classic silhouette, plus a monochromatic outfit is such a cool style move.

I wanted to keep the rest of the look simple: a topknot, a chic crossbody bag, neutral pumps, and classic aviators. Letting this green power suit shine!

Shop the look:

This suit is a super chic outfit for your office commute all spring and summer long. (Toss a baby tee underneath if you have an “absolutely no bare arms” HR dress code.) A little unexpected, a little loud– right up my alley, honestly, and definitely shakes up the usual 9-5 uniform.

I plan on breaking this suit up and remixing it as the spring wears on. I’ll start by pairing the vest with a pair of denim shorts and sneakers. Then I’ll take a crisp white t-shirt and tuck it into the green trousers with a pair of strappy sandals. Maybe add a bold necklace in a contrasting color for kicks. If I’m remixing for the office, I’ll try mixing hues and wearing the green vest with a navy blazer. Don’t feel painted into a bright corner by coordinating sets and suits! You really do have options.

    1. The bag was such a dream score- I have been hunting for this style second-hand for a while now, but told myself if I came across it while at Gucci in Dublin, I would snap it up. They had ONE left; it was meant to be! 🙂

  5. Immaculate tailoring, love the Kelly green color. And very apt that you bought the suit in Dublin. Thanks for linking!

    1. The return of the vest really makes a summer suit a possibility, I think! Thanks for stopping by, Allie!

  21. This is so fun for the season! I really love that both the pants and the vest are versatile pieces that can be added into other outfits, as well. Also – how cute is your bag?! Great styling!

  25. I love this suit on you Ashely, it is on trend. Love the fact that you went out of the usual neutral palette rule and instead opted for something bold and bright. Anna

  28. Ooooh I love that you got this in Dublin on SPD weekend! I saw this on a YOuTuber I follow and I am so thrilled to see it up close on you. It looks so well made and I know you’ll enjoy wearing the pieces separately too! So good!

  36. This is my favorite color of the season! Just bought a midi in this shade and it’s been on repeat more times than it probably should 🙂
