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.
Ooh: Yes, this is boring black, but I love a stretch cotton twill suit, particularly for spring/summer weather (should it ever come). Love the flared pants (I knew if I waited long enough they’d come back into style!) and the collarless, buttonless blazer — very chic. Personally I usually get slash pockets on the side sewn down (you still have the back welt pockets to carry an ID card and a bit of cash, should you need it for a lunch/coffee/nails run), but you may choose differently. I’m surprised to see that it’s “dry clean only” — I always thought the advantage of cotton suiting (over seasonless wool suiting) is that it’s easier to wash more frequently. I wouldn’t wear this on a job interview (the fabric makes it much more casual), but I’d wear it just about anywhere else. The jacket (Theory Tadean Open-Front Jacket) is $395, and the pants (Theory Tevita Cotton Flare-Leg Pants) are $275.
(Psst: Saks is having a big sale on suits — lots of previous picks are now on deep discount (lots of near-$500 blazers for under $200, particularly). Happy hunting, ladies!)
