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 2024!
I’ll admit, I was a bit alarmed to see the print-on-print styling on the MM.LaFleur homepage… but I think once you click through to see it paired with more sedate options, I like it a lot more.
(Although, I will say: if the print-on-print works for you, I think it’s the similar shades… it is a fun way to mix prints!)
What are your thoughts, readers? Too busy as a suit?
Only with very basic items like a white opaque tee or a black blouse? There are not one, but TWO matching dresses should you want to go all in…
The blazer is $425 and available in sizes 00-20, the trousers are $295, and the dresses are $345-$395.
Hunting for a suit in a print or pattern? As of 2024, for more traditional prints, M.M.LaFleur has a lovely houndstooth option, a plaid, and a black-and-white check; J.Crew also has an ivory plaid. Wildfang has a nice pinstripe option for regular and plus sizes, and Banana Republic has a nice mid-brown plaid as well as some nice pinstripes, while 87Origins has a beautiful striped linen suit.
For more unusual prints and patterns for suits, Boden has an vaguely 60s inspired “diamond terrace” pattern.
