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. sheryl sandbergs suit for TED talkLove, 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!

  1. Personally, I love that they are trying to sell us TWO HUNDRED (200) knock-off LV bags. Just what I needed!

  3. Never. Great for the movies, maybe – the female lead in the next George Clooney ‘office’ thing – but NEVER to be worn in a serious professional setting, regardless of cup size, build, hair color or anything else. Camisole and all that be damned, just start with the right suit for the job. This isn’t. Even Miranda Priestley at 35 could not pull this off. But it’s fun too look at.

  4. It there some seriously bad Photoshop going on with her lower half, or is it just me?

  5. Can I just voice my distaste over how anorexic the model appears to be?
