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. Also: we just updated our big roundup for the best women’s suits of 2026!
I feel like this navy pinstriped blazer from Veronica Beard is just a bit more interesting than some of the things we’ve seen lately.
I was originally a bit torn on the drastic angle for the cutaway blazer, but I think it could be a really flattering look. I do like that the blazer has a collar, and the wide leg pants look drapey and perfect.
It is one of the brand’s signature dickey jackets, and they keep showing it with this chunky sweater scarf dickey which feels like a lot of look, but maybe that’s just me.
(I think they’re trying to show that the suiting color works really well with the brown that’s everywhere right now — it’s interesting to note that they chose brown heels instead of black, presumably to match the dickey. I’ve always heard black dresses navy up, and brown dresses navy down — what are your thoughts?)
As always, Veronica Beard isn’t exactly a steal, but as far as the fancier suits go this one is more reasonable than some: the jacket is $798, and the pants are $548. (Why 8s?)

Recs for Quebec City? Doing a girl’s trip in early December for the Christmas markets!
Specifically, would love to know any restaurants or attractions you enjoyed. Staying in old town.
Le Clan. You will need to make reservations. It is a pre-fix menu. Recommend doing the cheaper alcohol pairing since they have some off the wall choices.
Pleasures exhibit at Museum of Civilization. The whole museum is really well done.
Strom Spa. Make sure to plan enough time. It is the first spa that I’ve had women AND MEN tell me that I need to go.
do you know people in unusual professions? what do they do?
I somehow know 3 DJs and 2 font designers. I also know some interesting food-related entrepreneurs with baby food and juices.
I know someone who works in high-end fashion. The pay is awful but they travel to beautiful cities and attend glamorous parties. Although I wouldn’t want that lifestyle for myself I love hearing their stories.

We have a lot of NVDA stock. Husband is anxious and distraught. He’s generally the one following the market and proposing investment decisions, but he’s very anxious and has cried wolf often enough that I don’t really trust his judgement anymore. Curious to get other opinions – Do I join him in mourning and panicking? Buy the dip? Sell? Would love to reason with him but I don’t have a great sense of what to say.
(The quality of my marriage is directly proportional to NVDA stock price. It is a horrible dynamic, and it is not likely to change)
Hire a financial advisor and put a cap on your husband’s one-off investments if you want this dynamic to change.
I mean, you shouldn’t have a lot of any tech stock unless you’re a tens-of-millionaire and it’s basically for fun and to make whatever riches you can make off it. Is this a large portion of your net worth? Your retirement savings? If either, then you should be diversifying asap.
Agree; that seems like a recipe for disaster if this single stock is where all your net worth exists.
