Style Trial: Rachel Bilson

Another trouser suit hits the Style Trial blog with Rachel Bilson's odd choice for a night celebrating the one year anniversary of Phillip Lim’s boutique in LA.


Ordinarily, she goes for quite a dressed down – jeans and a t-shirt look, or a feminine, form-fitting frock for big occasions. She often embraces the masculine trend, which seems to suit her small frame.


Here she’s gone for a much more radical choice – a shimmery trouser suit with rolled up trousers and a double breasted jacket. I just can’t find one thing I like about the outfit – the material is tacky, the cut hideous and even her accessories aren’t great – not loving the square toed heels at all.


To add some edge to the outfit she’s rolling up the sleeves Miami Vice style, and turned up the legs of the trousers so that they hit just above the knee - which isn’t a good look even for someone with flawless pins like hers!


The whole outfit just looks weird and ill-thought out to my eyes.


Any thoughts?

Loving the square toed Louboutins, but I think the metallic is too much on the eyes. The shorts remind me too much of tin foil but the blazer is fabulous! If it was paired with solid trousers, it could have been eye catching in all the right ways! Also, the silver clutch clashing with the gold suit is too OTT.

I think I would have liked the heels in another context, paired with a more simple look! And yeah I see what you mean about the blazer looking good with solid trousers. I think I was blinded by the blazer and trouser combo and couldn't imagine it worn a different way!

OMG this is hideous, she is so pretty and usually looks good but this doesn't do anything for her. The only thing I like about her is her hair and make up but the outfit, I would wear this to a 1980's fancy dress party
