    OOH! I dare I dare! But, being that I only wear solid black, what ever will I do!? Hmmm. =) Guess I could "venture out" into a grey glen plaid or a houndstooth!

    These patterned suits are super cool, but i think one has to be very brave & confident to wear them. I must say the Jil Sander is def my favourite!

    I had a crazy striped pantsuit by a guy named Kenneth Richard in the '90s. I gave it away and don't know what happened to the designer...

    These are quite a statement and I think they can look fantastic if the look is pulled off correctly. There are some good examples here.

    I do not own a single pantsuit, but if I were too it would have to have some crazy kooky print to stop the conformity of it all.

    Love all of this...but, I'm not sure I'd ever wear it. Maybe I'm too shy? No...that's not it. Well, either way - once again you've enlightened me.

    I love these... the Balmain is amazing. Nothing better than a printed suit to make a girl feel androgynously sexy.
