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.

It’s hard to see, but this Akris blazer has some lovely slit details, like a cross between an asymmetrical peplum and exaggerated vents. I like it because it’s got a bit more style than a regular black suit — but everything else about it is really traditional and polished.

The blazer is $2,990, and the pants are $895; there are a number of double-faced wool sheath dresses that look great also. (OOOH, and this bright blue Akris blazer is down to $698, and this pretty pink one is down to $597, if you’re in the mood for a sale.)
