Ruth Langsford demonstrates why colourful tailoring and comfortable trainers are an unbeatable duo for summer style
She made this high street suit look so expensive
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.
