Suit of the Week: Donna Karan

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. Love, love, love this Donna Karan suit — if only it weren't quite so low cut. First, the good: love the flattering, feminine look — the cinched waist, the suit-but-not-a-suit look to it, and even the brown-on-gray color scheme (with the belt). The bad: we'd probably advise going up a size (or three) in order to make sure that jacket crosses at a high enough point — we're just not sure we could work a camisole beneath it. Still: gorgeous suit. The jacket (Belted Cascade Jacket) is $1295, and the skirt (Drape Back Pencil Skirt) is $650, both available at Bergdorf Goodman. Psst: I'm 99% sure this is the suit Sheryl Sandberg wore for her famous TED talk!
