Suit of the Week: Eloquii

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 2025!
I've been updating a lot of our little widgets with our most-recommended items (you can see a lot of them on our Wardrobe Essentials page!) — checking links, updating recommendations, and in general checking out a TON of websites. Eloquii was one I haven't spent time at in a while, and I must say: I really like this nipped waist suit.
It's unusual to find a blazer with three buttons these days (although I do notice it more recently than I have in the past decade or so!) — but the longer lines of this blazer and slight shaping to the waist looks flattering and polished. I like that the blazer comes in five colors in sizes 14-32, too.
The blazer is $169 full price, but comes down to $96 with code today; the matching pants come down to $60 and come in regular, petite and tall sizes.

Something light – I’m really looking forward to watching the women’s ski team at the winter Olympics. Between Mikaela Shiffrin, Lindsey Vonn, and some of the young talent, it’s looking really awesome.
I am loving watching women’s distance running now. Our field of pro marathoners is so deep, and even the talent in races like the mile (Elle St. Pierre, Nikki Hiltz, Sinclaire Johnson) is amazing.
And Jessie Diggins!!! Don’t forget our cross-country friends!
OP here and I don’t follow XC but even I’ve heard how awesome she is. Are there any good documentaries or anything out there about her?
For distance running, Kara Goucher and Des Linden’s podcast is great.
Yeah, as a former Nordic racer, XC and biathlon are two of my favorite sports and Jessie Diggins is amazing, I just wish they were easier to watch outside of the Olympics. Figure skating US nationals is happening right now, though, and there are so many great skaters to watch there too.
I am looking forward to figure skating! We have a good chance at gold in 3 of the 4 disciplines! :)
Yeah but only because we aren’t letting Russia play right?
In the last few Olympics, they were only really dominant in women’s. But they’ve also upped the age minimum to 17, so even if Russia was eligible, they wouldn’t have been able to keep entering doped up 15 year olds.
Nope. Russia has 1 “neutral” athlete in women’s which is the main discipline they dominated. She has landed quads and will likely win a medal if she skates clean but not necessarily gold and that’s a big “if” because her quads are not consistent compared to the young girls who dominates the last few Olympic cycles. She’s not really considered a podium favorite.
As the other poster said the big difference is raising the age minimum to 17.
Same!
Also I’m not Canadian but their top pairs woman Deanna Stellato has an insanely inspiring story. She was a rising women’s singles star in her teens and retired due to chronic injuries and in her 30s she was at a corporate retreat and they asked the question “what would you do if you knew you couldn’t fail?” and she realized she wasn’t done with skating and came back to try pairs. Her path back has been a bit of a winding road, she competed with an American guy for a while and it didn’t really go anywhere, but a few years ago she teamed up with a Canadian skater to represent Canada and they won a World title in 2024 and are surely going to the Olympics and possibly Olympic podium, although that’s looking increasingly unlikely :(
She’s 42 now! Which is like 110 in figure skating years, especially for women. I’m just so inspired by her. So for the people today wondering about changing careers after 40, if she can do this, you can definitely change your career too ;)
yes I LOVE that!
How did I not know about this story? This is amazing.
She’s American by birth but competes for Canada with a Canadian man so US media isn’t hyping it. I think it’ll be a fairly big international story come February though.
That’s awesome and similar to Lindsey Vonn.
I’m looking forward to SO MUCH of the winter Olympics! Hockey, curling, figure skating, ice dancing, biathalon – adaptive biathalon in particular is super interesting. My husband curls at a local club and we’re season ticket holders for our local PWHL team, we’re big winter sports fans.
I can’t wait! Lindsey’s comeback has been amazing. My dad and I saw a women’s slalom race in-person in Lake Tahoe before COVID, and it was so much fun (it helped that Mikaela won!) – highly recommend going if you live somewhere near where they race!
The Women’s Figure Skating short program competition tonight has been fabulous!
I asked here a few weeks ago if anyone had experience with exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, and the only people who replied either had parents with advanced pancreatic cancer or pets with it.
Trying again – if you have experience with it and are not a cat, I’d love to hear your experience, especially if you turned out not to have pancreatic cancer (but if this is how you were diagnosed with PC, I guess I want to know that, too).
I believe this is what my dad has – he has no pancreatic cancer diagnosis or suspicion, but he has to take pancreatic enzymes with meals. It might be related to type two diabetes. Is that likely to be the right diagnosis?
Yes, that’s it exactly! Are the enzymes working for him? And has he had any issues with insurance covering them (if you know)?
This sounds too specialized and rare for this board. There are Facebook groups for this that would be helpful. I go to my Facebook (private) group for my chronic disease issue.
It allegedly affects 10-20% of the US population and is a very common secondary issue for diabetes, pancreatitis, gallbladder issues, IBD/celiac, and alcoholism, so it shouldn’t be that rare! But clearly it’s rare here. (I have no known primary cause for it yet, so that makes it harder to find the right support for it).
Just wanted to add that Reddit can also be helpful. I have a chronic condition and a group there gave me a ton of helpful advice. It’s not all threads about true crime or gossip. There really are some great group forums.
does anyone else look at Stephen Miller and think, who hurt you and why are we all suffering because of it? i’d like to know his villain origin story.
I don’t care about his villain origin story. He is truly a small, small creature and no reporter should give him a minute in the spotlight to spew his inhumane crap.
The most horrifying thing to me is that he was raised by liberal Reform Jews (for those who don’t know, a denomination of Judaism that is very progressive and focused on social justice). My husband and I are liberal reform Jews and I low key have nightmares about our kids turning out like this!
He was in my college class and wrote these really inflammatory editorial articles for the student paper. We always kind of thought he was being intentionally over the top (and as a counterpoint to another regular editorial writer who was really over the top on the liberal side), not that he actually really believed these things. Evidently we were wrong on that. Needless to say, I suspect his invitation to the next reunion will get lost in the mail.
From what I hear he was exactly the same in high school. He’s detestable.
My friend went to college with Ted Cruz and said he was not well-liked as a sassy 18 year old either. Imagine–people grow up to be horrid adults when they are awful young adults.
I was literally just thinking this today. I need someone to take a deep dive into his background. I have no doubt he was aggressively bullied as a child. Maybe abused at home? Generally speaking, very bad things early in life produce monsters like lil Stevie.
Are you for real? Surely you know great people who were aggressively bullied and abused at home as children, and terrible people whose parents were fine. It’s also pretty normal for people who dehumanize others to have happy home lives since their issue is with other people, not each other.
There are a number of studies on these points that you may find interesting (simple Google search will identify them). While it is true some people who were bullied or abused turn out wonderful, in terms of statistics, that is sadly the less likely outcome. I also suspect some those of us most guilty of dehumanizing others (our Dehumanizer-in-Chief, perhaps) may be happy at home, but make the others within those homes miserable.
TBI (often undiagnosed and neglected) is a significant confounder. But does Miller really fit the patterns in the studies you’re referencing?
Nope, this is a myth that gets repeated and isn’t actually true. Yes, a bad home life is a risk factor, but it doesn’t “produce monsters” – if it did, women would be the greatest violent offenders in the world by a huge margin since they’re abused the most in childhood and the rest of life.
Tell that to Chris Brown? I suppose we could add “being male” to the list of risk factors that produce monsters. I can’t disagree with that.
OP here: did not mean to set off the subset of folks here who may have come from a bad home life and may be understandably sensitive about that. Wasn’t the intention here.
His cousin had a public facebook post a few months ago that basically boiled down to he had a good childhood, we have no idea why he’s like this
i saw that!! is it too simplistic to boil it down to “lost his hair and probably has a tiny pen!s”?
They have another kid who seems normal. It seems like quite a leap that they were terrible parents.
I think his parents support him, though. Which is disheartening.
What is the evidence for that? I heard everyone in his family is horrified by him.
Maybe he is still on the family cell phone plan at an advanced adult age?
Some of the journalists that have looked into his background point out that his family had some financial setbacks that meant he went to a diverse, large public school in a wealthy-ish area (Santa Monica High) as opposed to a $$$$ private high school in Los Angeles (Harvard-Westlake or whatnot).
That said, I don’t think there is always a “Rosebud”-type situation or event that makes people into monsters. Some of the loveliest people I know had hair-raising childhoods.
OP, to answer your question, yes, I’d love to know why he is the way he is.
i know RFK is very anti-processed foods, but i’m surprised the corporate lobby in DC isn’t stronger and that he is able to get away with the new dietary guidelines.
Apparently the alcohol lobby got their money’s worth, though.
Well, the dairy lobby and beef lobby sure had a big win.
He’s not wrong on a lot of aspects of the nutrition efforts. That’s why he’s so popular in his circles – the grain of truth that spawned the movement. Real butter and red meat are far, far better for you than grains 6-11 times per day.
A stopped clock is right 2x a day. He still shouldn’t be secretary
Nope, of course he shouldn’t, but Dems shouldn’t fall into their usual trap of dismissing him as “sooooo crazy” when he’s right on several points. The New York Times did this badly in 2024 – they had an article arguing that RFK was wrong to say Fruit Loops in the US and abroad have different ingredients “because they’re basically the same except for the Red 40, yellow 5, blue 1, and BHT!”
😅 you get a heart attack, you get a heart attack, everyone gets a heart attack.
He’s not wrong that saturated fat was unfairly demonized as a heart-destroyer while grains and sugars were given a free pass due to the very successful industry efforts to make it so.
Depends on the grains.
This.
Where is the research that supports this idea that real butter is better for you than whole grains?
Yeah, this. There is tons of research on specific diets and none of them say beef tallow is a healthy choice.
The childhood birthday party lobby lost out! No sugar until 10 year old!
And no vaccines, either! Good luck, kids!
Controversial take, but following this food pyramid is probably also an improvement for an average American.
Following either food pyramid is probably an improvement for the average American.
That is exactly what my comment was saying.
It’s a huge improvement for school lunches. I have teens. The current plate does not work for them and their friends.
I’m setting up a meeting to address the budget gap that’s going to occur because the new plate is more expensive and the budgets have not changed. My goal is to raise funds through our education fund to subsidize the cost for the district.
To last weeks poster who was looking to improve communication in 2026 and be less angry in conversations, check out the book non-violent communication by Marshall Rosenberg. You can also find some of his talks on this subject online. I found this book helpful in improving listening to understand instead of listening to respond. It made me realize that I don’t spend enough time understanding in conversations and that I am really focussed on responding and making myself feel heard. So I’m working on that too in 2026
