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 for women, which should be as classic and basic as you get — instead, this feature is about the slightly different suit that is fashionable, yet professional.
If you’re in the market for a lady tuxedo this season, my vote goes to this chic one from Diane von Furstenberg. Those cool lapels (moire) and almost a boyish cut to it — it’s very, very cool. I think the jacket would look nice on top of a sheath dress as well as worn with the pants. The jacket (Diane von Furstenberg Meyer Tuxedo Blazer
) is $465, and the pants (Diane von Furstenberg Tailor Tuxedo Pants
) are $345.

Haaaapy Monday! I’m loving this silk crepe dress from Diane von Furstenberg. I like the splitneck (which can be worn open, like a V, or closed, like a keyhole), and the knee length, loose skirt (which can be worn belted or not). The tiered pleats on the bodice seem interesting yet timeless. It comes in light mauve (pictured) and chili, and sells for $425 at Saks, Bloomingdale’s, Bergdorf Goodman, and Net-a-Porter.

I always feel like outerwear is a good place to invest because a) you can wear it every day during the season, and b) if you invest well, you’ll have it for years. Today I’m liking this slightly different take on the classic trench from Diane von Furstenberg — the ruffle is interesting, yet not too frilly or clown-like. I also like the way the jacket looks different depending on whether it’s worn open or closed, as well as when the top button is closed. It’s $565 at Bergdorf Goodman (and at Bloomingdale’s
as well). Ruffled Trench Coat

Reader A recommends this lovely silk blouse by Diane von Furstenberg, noting that “this top is great for work/with jeans. It’s a non-wrap DvF top in silk jersey. Tends to gape a bit on my curvy self even though I sized up – which I do in DvF – but very sleek all the same. Can slip on over head due to stretchy jersey so sewing the placket may be an option for curvy ladies. Tag says ‘dry clean’ but I always handwash DvF stuff.” It looks like a great classic, and is a nice change from all of the horizontal stripes I’m seeing for spring (and far more flattering). It’s $245 at dvf.com. Fatima Top in Ropes

Today we’re loving this jersey dress from Diane von Furstenberg. Love the interesting seam at the waist, and the bit of pleating below it. The shoulders are also interesting — one is pleated, and the other has an exposed zipper (which, because it’s on your shoulder, avoids the concern expressed by some readers that men in your office will think you’re inviting them to unzip you). We think the dress is a lot of fun in pink and would be great paired with a gray blazer for the office — but we also love the dress in black. It’s $325 at Shopbop.

We’re loving this simple blue dress from Diane von Furstenberg — the pleated wide neckline at the top, the keyhole back, the defined waist, and the ladylike length — all strike us as really lovely. It’s $375 at Shopbop.com (alas, only sizes 8-12 left). Diane von Furstenberg Jamila Dress
