ICYMI, Minnie Mouse has a fantabulous new look!
In celebration of Women’s History Month, iconic designer Stella McCartney gave the famous mouse a tres chic blue-spotted pantsuit and matching bow.
While this may seem a fun little novelty, the pantsuit has mixed reviews, with some saying it is defeminising the cartoon mouse (despite this not being the first time Minnie has rocked pants in fun campaigns).
FYI, here at Yahoo Lifestyle, we’re a big fan of both skirts and pants … but we’re a bigger fan of rocking both and living your best life, as Minnie shows we can.

As per the Google searches for "pantsuits" skyrocketing by 455 per cent since the prototype debuted, we think most people are fans of Minnie’s new look.
So if you want to get your Minnie on and rock a pantsuit, we’ve rounded up some of our favourites:
Oxford Lola Check Stretch Eco Suit Jacket, $369
Oxford Helena Check Stretch Eco Suit Pants, $179
This pantsuit comes in a muted, yet funky, black-and-white check.
The suit is made from Eco Smart Carreman fabric, a certified recycled check print - which is a nice bonus when buying these pieces!
The paints are high-waisted, slightly cropped and wide-leg, with a tailored style.
The jacket is designed with slim notch lapels and a back vent and is fully lined.
Tia Suit Blazer, $349
Tia Suit Pant, $229
One thing to keep in mind for pantsuits is that a classic, quality cut will never go out of style and will last you years.
Therefore, it’s sometimes worth the splurge for two pieces that you’ll love and wear to death.
SABA is known for its premium quality clothing and this Tia pantsuit is no exception.
The cotton-blend jacket is fully lined and tailored into a slimming, timeless style.
The pants are ankle length, have a straight-leg fit and have belt loops and functional front and back pockets.
Annie Textured Blazer, $99.95
Bella Textured Full Length Pants, $79.95
For those criticising pantsuits for not being feminine enough, this bubble-gum pink set will instantly prove them wrong!
If you want to channel your inner Elle Woods, get your hands on this baby pink pantsuit.
The textured blazer is a long-line fit made out of a ramie blend and has a tortoiseshell button.
The woven pants are full-length and wide leg.
Quick to Win Blazer in Stone, $89.95
Along the Ride Shorts in Stone, $49.95
While compiling this list, we couldn’t ignore the fact that it’s still summer and stinking hot and humid across most of Australia.
If you don’t want to think about pants just yet, you can still get the same "boss girl" vibes from a short-suit set.
This oversized, double-breasted blazer comes in stone, hot pink or white.
It matches perfectly with the shorts (available in black, white and stone) that have a high-rise waist and are fully lined.
Both items are available in sizes 4 - 20.
City Chic Perfect Suit Jacket - caramel, $90.97
City Chic Perfect Suit Pant - caramel, $83.97
For the curvy ladies, City Chic has this fantastic caramel-coloured pantsuit.
It does come in other colours (guava and navy), although it looks like it’s become so popular that those colours are sold out for the jackets.
The suit jacket has lightly padded shoulders and satin lining, with a structured collar and a hook-and-eye closure if you’d prefer to wear it buttoned up.
As for the pants, they come in a relaxed, wide-leg cut.
They have a removable matching waist belt and an elasticated back for all day comfort.
Envii Lexington blazer co-ord, $96.90
Envii Gartner waistcoat co-ord, $100
Envii Lexington pants co-ord, $54.05
The only thing more elevated than a regular pantsuit is a three-piece pantsuit.
This butter yellow set comes with a blazer, waistcoat and pants.
Worn together, they create a striking, tailored silhouette.
The waistcoat and jacket have funky tortoiseshell buttons.
The pants are wide-leg and high-waisted, with an invisible zip.
ASOS DESIGN Petite moire suit blazer in metallic, $130
ASOS DESIGN Petite moire suit pants in metallic silver, $80
This suit will have all heads turning when you enter a room.
The metallic swirly pattern is just subtle enough not to make it look like you should be headlining a disco show.
Yet, it's fabulous enough that it will definitely dominate any meeting or networking event.
As part of ASOS’s petite range, the jacket has large padded shoulders and a slouchy, oversized fit.
The pants are a slim fit and cropped to just above the ankles.
Gorman Floret Pantsuit, $167.20
Tailored, structured blazers and pants aren’t for everyone, which is A-OK.
The most important thing is to wear what makes you happy and confident.
If you want the pantsuit style, but don’t want to don a jacket, opt for this unique twist on the trend from Gorman.
The one-piece is made from comfy viscose silk and has an exclusive Gorman x Kaitlin Johnson print.
It has short sleeves and flowy, full-length pants.
