Suit of the Week: Diane von Furstenberg’s “Bette” Glitter Plaid Suit
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 than, say, high-waisted trousers. (We also like the fact that the suit is on point with various trends — high-waist, plaid — yet looks like it'll last for years.) The Bette jacket is available from Bloomingdale's for $475; the Adame skirt is $275.
