But first, what does tailoring really mean in women’s fashion today?
What does tailoring mean in women’s fashion?
Tailoring is about more than just fit, it’s about feeling confident and put together, whatever your plans. Tailored pieces are cut with intention to contour your shape, combining sharp lines with structured silhouettes and fluid movement.
Tailoring works beautifully worn head-to-toe, but also plays well with your off-duty staples. It’s the go-to building block of a modern wardrobe, effortless, and endlessly wearable.
Where to wear tailoring?
At NADINE MERABI, tailoring is reimagined through a signature lens. The MERABI in Motion collection reshapes the modern uniform for women who lead, create, and move with purpose. Finished with bold gold clasps and sharp cuts, each piece strikes a balance between structure and softness, delivering ease and confidence on the go.
Created to transition seamlessly from spreadsheets to spritzers, this is tailoring that works overtime, no outfit change required.
For Work
From early meetings to post-work cocktails, our CHARLOTTE Pants are the go-to for a look that works hard and plays harder. Crafted in our exclusive crepe and finished with a satin contrast waistband, they feature a signature flared leg that brings polish and presence to any agenda.
Style it: Pair with a sleek tote, pulled-back hair, and understated gold hoops. Add a silk scarf for a subtle nod to classic power dressing, with a modern twist.
What Are Tailored Trousers for Women?
Tailored pants offer structure, elegance, and all-day versatility. Our CHARLOTTE Pants are a MERABI staple, available in timeless black and white, and now in a bold new pink hue.
Pair with a waistcoat for a striking co-ord, or mix things up with a sleek corset top or blazer for effortless sophistication.
For Day-to-day
Blazers aren’t just office attire anymore, they’ve become a styling essential that works anytime, anywhere.
Step up your daily style with the NICOLA Blazer. Available in white and black, it’s cut with a cinched waist, padded shoulders, exposed seams, and our signature cross-detail snap buttons.
Wondering what to wear with a blazer? Pair with our CHARLOTTE Pants for a powerful, head-to-toe look. Looking for a laid-back look? Swap the pants for denim and throw the NICOLA over a tee. Add white sneakers and an oversized clutch for an elevated, off-duty look.
For Play
Waistcoats are this season's sartorial power-piece. Perfect for taking you from boardroom to bar, not only do they support ‘round the clock dressing’, but they also play well out of hours too. The ZOE Waistcoat, available in Black, White, and Pink, offers a fresh way to wear suiting. With its cinched shape, sweetheart neckline, and cross-detail button fastenings, it’s the ultimate example of tailoring with intention.
- For day: Style ZOE with coordinating CHARLOTTE Trousers and sleek loafers.
- For night: Elevate the look with the RAYE Black Micro Shorts, strappy heels and bold gold accessories.
For an after-dark feel, go bold: wear your waistcoat solo, with sleek tailoring on the bottom and a red lip up top. Perfect for rooftop drinks, gallery nights, or summer soirées.
How to Accessorize a Women’s Suit
Tailoring makes a statement on its own, but accessories help you to customise it.
Here’s how to accessorize your MERABI suit:
- Gold accents: Mirror our signature hardware with layered chains, sculptural earrings, or chunky cuffs.
- Heels that elongate: Opt for strappy stilettos or pointed-toe ballet flats to complement the flare of tailored trousers.
- Mini bags: Keep it sleek with a structured top-handle or clutch that keeps the look clean and intentional.
Wearing a blazer dress? Add a chain belt for a styled-up finish with extra edge.
Redefining the modern uniform
The ‘MERABI in Motion’ collection is designed for the woman who moves seamlessly between roles, settings, and stories. A study in structure and sharpness, this collection reimagines power dressing through architectural silhouettes, monochromatic palettes, tuxedo inspired details, and dramatic asymmetric cuts.
With pieces like the NICOLA Blazer, CHARLOTTE Trousers, and ZOE Waistcoat, MERABI empowers her to dress with intention and confidence. From polished pairings to styling reinventions, these are silhouettes crafted to move with ease, wherever the day takes her.
Whether you’re dressing for work, play, or the spaces in between, tailoring with MERABI means showing up with intention, confidence, and style.
