Drew Barrymore delivers a masterclass in the skirt suit, as this chic tailoring look steps back into the limelight

Drew Barrymore wears a pinstripe skirt suit.

When Drew Barrymore attended The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in a pinstripe skirt suit, tie and playful accessories, she proved this once-forgotten look is firmly back on the fashion radar.

Back in the 80s, the skirt suit was the ultimate power-dressing look. Stiff, double-breasted and complete with shoulder pads, it was certainly a statement, but not the most timeless. Confined to the office, the skirt suit became a relic, overshadowed by the rise of casual tailoring and relaxed separates.
