For busy working women, the suit is often the easiest outfit to throw on in the morning. In general, this feature is not about interview suits, which should be as classic and basic as you get — instead, this feature is about the slightly different suit that is fashionable, yet professional.
Lots of new suits are hitting the stores this week, apparently. We really like this chic navy blue suit — we like the loose collar, the high waist of the skirt, and the texture of the shantung. We do wish, however, that the skirt were longer than 20.5 inches (but hey, we’re sure the teenagers buying DvF suits will look great in it!). If you’re 5′4 or below, though, we’d give it a try anyway. The set is available at Saks for pre-order — the jacket (Jonesie Shantung Jersey Jacket) is $345, and the skirt (Chi-Chi High-Waisted Skirt) is $185. (Incidentally — Saks is having tons of sales, with new products having hit the racks yesterday.)

Our daily TPS reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices. We begin the week in splurge mode, with our most expensive suggestions, and wind our way to Friday, where a less expensive item of clothing might be just what you need to make it to the weekend.
Saks has started a three-day Friends and Family event, where you can get a discount of up to 25% on almost all of the merchandise — which means it’s a great time to check out some of those items that never go on sale (or if they do, only have lucky sizes and weird prints left over). For example: The DvF wrap dress. Some hate it, some love it, some say the key is to wear it backwards. Either way, it is a classic, and a very recognizable designer addition to your wardrobe because of her recognizable prints and thick silk fabric. Normally $325, with the discount (code SFAFAM9) it comes to $243. Not bad — not bad at all. Diane von Furstenberg – Julian Wrap Dress

We are always huge fans of DvF dresses but for the minor fact that, well, we have only met one person who can wear the wrap dress to work. For everyone else, they are too low, too flyaway, too revealing… This dress, the “New Domina,” has none of those problems. The quality is still there, both in the fit and the fabric (slightly stretchy but not too much), as well as the simple yet unique design. Available at ShopBop for $365 (in navy/white, as shown, as well as hot pink and plain black). Diane von Furstenberg New Domina Dress

Ah, a blazer worthy of Rosalind Russell or Katharine Hepburn. We love the subtly alternating black/gray patterns (both stylish and slimming), the puffed sleeves, the slightly flared cuffs decorated with buttons… this is the kind of thing we’d wear to the office with a sheath dress or trouser pants, but just as happily pair with jeans on the weekend. Available at Nordstrom’s for $445. Diane von Furstenberg ‘Samal’ Blazer

This week’s Suit of the Week is a wool/cotton blend from Diane von Furstenberg. We love the fucshia windowpane pattern on the otherwise demure gray wool, as well as the structure of the jacket and the general quality craftsmanship one gets with a DvF garment. The ‘Etta’ jacket is available for $345, and the ‘Burnes’ pants are available for $280, both from Nordstrom.
