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!
There are a TON of great holiday suits out there right now — I definitely need to round them up. But I think this one wins the feature for today: this purple velvet suit from Me+Em is just stunning. It seems to actually glow in some of the pictures.
The name of the color is “intense plum purple,” and I love that the pants comes in regular and short lengths. They also have the suit in a dark brown. The blazer is $645 and the pants are $525, all at MeandEm.com.
I love that they have a matching blouse as well as a matching brushed cashmere mockneck tee. Should you feel the urge to spend $60 on socks, they also have a lovely gray sock with a matching intense purple stripe down the back.

I cannot say enough good things about this brand, and if you wait, things do go on sale.
This is so gorgeous (and totally impractical for me on all fronts).
