During the US Open Finals last weekend, Kelsey Merritt was among the personalities present at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in New York to witness the grand slam match-up.
Donning a navy pinstripe suit and sleek square-frame sunglasses, the 28-year-old model was the ultimate sight of sophistication as she graced the event alongside her boyfriend, Gossip Girl actor Chace Crawford.

As the age-old sartorial adage goes, sometimes less is definitely more. The key to mastering a minimalist look is curating refined staples that flatter your frame. Case in point: Kelsey Merritt’s sporty power suit outfit.
The outfit is as straightforward as it gets. Styled with a slicked-back bun and sharp wayfarer frames, the main focal point was Kelsey’s structured, double-breasted pinstripe blazer in a classic navy hue. To balance the darker tones, she paired it with tailored white trousers cut to the perfect length, allowing the hem to lightly brush her ankles while revealing just a glimpse of her white thong-strap heels.

She sealed the quiet-luxury mood of her outfit with a dainty diamond-studded ring from Tiffany & Co. and a black mini Kelly with palladium hardware in tow. As usual, très chic!


What Is "Sporty Suiting"?
Unlike traditional suiting, the jacket and trousers are made from different fabrics and cut in a more relaxed style. Typically crafted from lightweight, breathable materials such as cotton or linen, often with minimal lining or added stretch, sporty suiting is commonly worn in business casual settings, informal occasions, or as an everyday off-duty outfit.
