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.

Suit of the Week
For this week’s suit, we’re liking the birch-cloth cotton, short-sleeved skirt suit from J.Crew. We like the casual elegance of it, combined with the comfort of stretch. The jacket is $178, and the pencil skirt is $108.
Suit of the Week
Ah, the white suit. It’s classic, it’s modern; it says the wearer is sharp and confident (and perhaps a very neat eater). We’re liking the Banana Republic version at the moment — it’s a combination of cotton and modal, and looks oh so chic. (Our tip for what to wear beneath it: any color will … Read More about Suit of the Week
Suit of the Week
This suit is, admittedly, a mixed bag. The pros: We love, love, love the shape of it. The skinnier pants, the longer jacket — if you can pull this off, you’ll look like a model. The cons: you generally must be SHAPED like a model in order to pull this off — also, the edge … Read More about Suit of the Week

We’ve been a fan of Kay Unger suits and dresses for a while now — they’re well-made and have a way of flattering curves without hugging them. We like the way this ruched suit looks — and not only is it available in camel, black and brown, but it’s on sale, also. The jacket (Kay … Read More about Suit of the Week

We love this beautiful silk suit in a youthful tangerine — it’s a sure way to stand out in a crowd and tell your colleagues that you’re a confident, successful woman.
Suit of the Week: Theory Novelty Suit
We like this “novelty” jacket from Theory. We like the wool-linen blend, which strikes us as unusual but great for unpredictable weather. We especially like the steel-gray color of it; it’s strong yet feminine. We would wear it with a more structured shirt than the one shown here — perhaps a simple tee-shirt in white … Read More about Suit of the Week: Theory Novelty Suit
Suit of the Week: Paul Smith Black & Blue Classic Swirl Suit
We are sad to say that we’re behind the ball on this one — the suit is nearly sold out (if you’re a size 44, you are very, very lucky!). But oh, how we love it: a classic black suit with just the teeniest bit of insouciance with the classic Paul Smith swirl in the … Read More about Suit of the Week: Paul Smith Black & Blue Classic Swirl Suit
Suit of the Week: Jones New York Pinstriped Pant Suit
It is another week without a really standout suit — perhaps the economy is driving everyone towards more basic suits? In any event, we like this pinstriped pant suit from Jones New York, available at Macy’s. In particular, we like the chalk stripes, and the three pockets and buttons. It comes with a knit shell, … Read More about Suit of the Week: Jones New York Pinstriped Pant Suit
Suit of the Week
This is a great basic suit for spring, summer, and fall — we love the double-edged collar, the darts for shaping, and the simple and clean skirt. The “acorn” color is a nice counterpart to white or pastel shirts in the spring and darker blues and blacks in the summer and fall. We’d even try … Read More about Suit of the Week

We’re loving this vintage-inspired skirt suit from Rebecca Taylor. All the little details make it so gorgeous and interesting: the notched collar, the puffed sleeves, the pickstitch detailing, the backpleat on the jacket, and we love, love the defined waist. The fabric flower/boutonniere is actually our least favorite part, if only because you have to … Read More about Suit of the Week
