If you're looking for fresh ways to wear a colourful trouser suit this summer, Ruth Langsford has just delivered the perfect inspiration. Appearing on Loose Women, the presenter wore a pastel pink suit from high-street favourite Mango.
What really stands out about this outfit is that she swaps her slingback pumps for her best white trainers whilst filming the show. It's a styling trick that instantly transforms occasionwear into a smart-casual outfit, and you still look put-together.
Langsford's linen-blend blazer is double-breasted in a light pastel shade that sits somewhere between blush pink and lilac, and the matching trousers feature a relaxed straight-leg finish. The tailored two-piece is a great alternative to the best summer wedding guest dresses for 2026, as the colourful suit is a trend that's still going strong.
