Suiting up in the summer is, well, challenging. When it’s sweltering out, the last thing you want to do is layer up in a thick, heavy blazer. So, what exactly is one to do if you still want to look polished and professional in the August heat? Allow Halle Berry to show you how the summer suit is done. While making an appearance on Good Morning America in New York City today, the star stepped out in an idyllic two-piece set that puts a traditional stuffy suit to shame.
Forgoing sleeves, Berry slipped into a pinstriped vest and matching trousers by Alberta Ferretti, which instantly made her approach to suiting up feel modern and fun. Turns out, tailoring doesn’t have to be devoid of any and all personality—you can show some skin, and accessorize with more playful pieces. Berry accentuated the look with movie star-worthy shades, tasteful silver jewelry, and a pair of sky-high heels. Consider it the perfect ensemble to pin to your summer mood board—especially when the humidity index is high, and you have an important meeting to head to. Let those arms be free!
