pantsuit
Blazer-trouser combo
A pantsuit is a woman's matched set of jacket and trousers, worn as a coordinated outfit.
The term emerged as women adopted tailored suits in professional settings where skirts had been standard.
A pantsuit signals business formality: She wore a navy pantsuit to the interview.
Hillary Clinton's colorful pantsuits became a signature style.
