We’re intrigued by this suit from Isaac Mizrahi’s new collection for Liz Claiborne New York. As Liz Claiborne Chief Creative Officer Tim Gunn might have said: it’s a lot of look. Accordingly, we’d probably wear it as separates except for a few specific circumstances where we want to look extremely young and hip and in-your-face … Read More about Suit of the Week: Liz Claiborne New York Diagonal Stripe Suit
This week’s suit of the week is this lovely knit suit from DvF. We like the thick knit, as well as the nipped-in, structured look of both pieces. The neckline of the jacket, in particular, is interesting — we’ve never seen a combination of a scoop-neck, notched Nehru collar, let alone such a winning and … Read More about Suit of the Week: Diane von Furstenberg Knit Suit
Unintentionally, today is a Brooks Brothers kind of a day. We like this wool suit (super 110s) and its unusual wide stripe pattern — it’s distinctive yet traditional at the same time. The Widestripe Wool Three-Button Jacket is available for $398, the Widestripe Wool Skirt is $188, and there are two kinds of matching pants … Read More about Suit of the Week: Brooks Brothers Widestripe Wool
We really like this black and white combo suit from Semantiks, available at Nordstrom. The piping on the jacket is interesting without being distracting, and the cut of the suit is feminine without being frou-frou. The Semantiks Mélange Jacket is $138, and the Semantiks ‘Moonlit’ Mélange Trousers are $88. There’s a coordinating Semantiks ‘Moonlit’ … Read More about Suit of the Week: Semantiks Mélange Suit
What a gorgeous black navy skirt suit. When we refer to wearing a dress with a cropped jacket, this is almost exactly what we have in mind. We love the cut of the suit, the texture of the fabric, and especially the pockets — “raw edge pleated trim” is apparently code for “cool”. The jacket … Read More about Suit of the Week: Ann Taylor Karlee Suit
Wow — there are some mighty colorful suits out there right now. (For all the women who enjoy wearing suits on their resort vacation, perhaps?) Anyway: there seems to be a lack of fun, interesting suits, but this is one we haven’t seen before: Italian topstitched twill suit, from Bebe. We like the piping and … Read More about Suit of the Week: Bebe Italian Topstitched Twill
Bluefly is slashing prices by an extra 30% for today alone, so we thought we’d see if they had any cute suits. It did not disappoint: behold, a lovely Elie Tahari suit with a slightly odd twist: metal mesh trim. We like that it looks like a normal, boring suit from afar, but has this … Read More about Suit of the Week: Elie Tahari Black Matte Crepe Suit
We have a feeling this post is going to be a controversial one, but: This envelope-collar belted pantsuit by Tahari Arthur S. Levine strikes us as a perfect example of what to wear to a staff holiday party. It’s festive, without being in-your-face seasonal or glitzy. It allows you to maintain a sense of authority yet still party with … Read More about Suit of the Week: Tahari Arthur S. Levine Envelope-Collar Belted Pantsuit
We love, love, love the ruffled/ruched V-neck collar on this J.Crew suit, as well as the hidden singular button closure. Available in bright papaya (pictured) and “heather carbon” (a dark gray/black). The jacket is $188, and the skirt is $118.
Wow, what a gorgeous dark brown suit — simple, elegant, yet with enough details that it’s memorable and clearly not just your run-of-the-mill suit. We lurve the slightly up-turned collar and, as always, we love the touch of spandex in with the wool. Alas, such beauty (from Armani Collezioni!) is not cheap — the jacket … Read More about Suit of the Week: Armani Collezioni Ribbon Jacket
This week’s suit of the week is a gorgeous black-and-blue plaid number, with gold threads running throughout, from Diane von Furstenberg. Both the jacket and the skirt would be adorable on their own, or together. We particularly love the high waist on the skirt — it’s a much easier way to wear the trend rather … Read More about Suit of the Week: Diane von Furstenberg’s “Bette” Glitter Plaid Suit
We’re loving this gray tweed suit by Rebecca Taylor. Yes, some of her stuff can be a bit too precious at times, but we think this one is a feminine yet powerful suit. We love the cut of the jacket, the high three buttons, the puckering under the pockets, the fringe detail, and even the … Read More about Suit of the Week: Rebecca Taylor Tweed
