cobalt suit

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!

Oooh: The Fold just started their summer sale, with prices up to 40% off — including this cobalt suiting from its Clever Crepe line.

Buying suits on sale can always be a bit difficult because the blazer and bottoms may not all be in stock in your size — but the pictured suit has decent quantities of sizes remaining. (But if you're doing a broader search, start with your (UK) size.)

The brand bills their Clever Crepe suiting as machine washable, crease resistant, and adaptable.

The pictured jacket was $565 but is now marked down to $280, and the pants were $325, but are now marked to $160. NICE.

(Readers have always loved the brand's Belleville tops, and if I'm remembering correctly readers have also sung the praises of the brand's shoes!)

Sales of note for 7/3 (Happy 4th!):

      1. I’ve been thinking about to Greece in late May/early June. It’s not too hot in June?

    4. Early June or late June? Might seem like a subtle distinction but a lot of schools don’t get out until mid-late June so I find the second half of the month to be much more crowded in popular places. Heat and humidity also ramps up significantly during June in a lot of N. America/Europe so if traveling in latter part of the month I put more emphasis on seeking out places that won’t be scorching.

      Personally my family goes to Maine every summer, usually in late June or early July.

    5. Europe is great in June. I’ve loved trips to England, Ireland, and Scandanavian countries in early to mid June.

      2. Depends on what part of California you’re talking about. It’s definitely not foggy everywhere

      1. we were there last June and it was disgustingly hot. and a million strikes. not saying i wouldn’t go again in June but I’d probably prefer an earlier month.

        1. I was also there last year in June and it was horrifically hot – although I understand that was unseasonable. That said Normandy was amazing and the weather was perfect.

          1. oh bummer, we’ve been there in May/June twice and both times lucked out with ideal 70’s weather.

          2. There’s randomness to it. I was in London in May of this year and it was 95F degree. It was ghastly. But I don’t think everyone should avoid London in May because of that experience. That temperature was literally 30 degrees above the average high at that time of year.

          3. Oddly I was also in London for its heatwave this May (although it reverted to the usual English rain the next week while I was in the Cotswolds). Paris last year and London this year – European countries might start banning me at this rate.

          4. Heh we’re travel twins! I’m the person who brought up London and I was also in France in June of last year although only for a couple of days and then we went to Switzerland which was hot-for-Switzerland but thankfully not unbearably hot. Climate change is definitely complicating summer travel to Europe. It’s hard to be in that kind of climate in places that haven’t historically had to deal with extreme heat (I couldn’t believe how hot most of the museums were in London — even on the days it was “only” in the 80s the museums got SO stuffy. Apparently a lot of them don’t have AC or have weak AC).

            Our favorite time of year to go to Europe (given the constraints of a school calendar) is my kids’ mid-March spring break. But that works better for Italy/Spain/Portugal than the UK.

      2. +1 for France generally. French kids and most European kids are still in school so it’s still a bit quieter, weather should be nice, Fete de la Musique is fun.

  2. going off this morning’s discussion – i’ve got a long drive coming up with my teenage son. are comedy albums still a thing? any favorites recently? i’m ok with swearing but not racist or explicit jokes.

    (or – any great history books or podcasts to listen to on audio? it’s only a 6 hour drive.

    2. Not comedy but definitely funny- my family has always enjoyed listening to reruns of Car Talk.

      1. I find his comedy to be so mean. I like some good snark, but his crosses a line for me, and I personally wouldn’t want my teen listening to him and thinking that mean = hilarious.

    4. I feel like everyone’s read it now, but Born a Crime by Trevor Noah is a great book and audiobook. There is a teen version with some content removed if you’re concerned. Plus it has history baked in!

      1. Oh yeah, that would be a good one. I read the teen version (by mistake; picked the wrong kindle book) and enjoyed it.

    5. Conan O’Brian’s podcast is really funny; I imagine a teen boy would like that. (It is swear-heavy, though).

    6. George Carlin is always a fave here. He definitely swears but I don’t recall anything racist or explicit, even though he’s an old-school comedian.

      For podcasts, I like You’re Wrong About, particularly the early episodes.

    7. for history: Stuff You Missed in History Class
      they cover the full range of world history, making an effort to do real research on their pieces.
      also really like Business Wars – you can get multiple-part series on the history of brands

    8. Makes me wonder if young people would get Mitch Hedburg or if that was a generational thing!
