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 2025!
We haven’t talked about mixing prints in far too long — but what a great example of mixing prints! I love how Ann Taylor styled this black/brown plaid suit.
Brown continues to be a trendy color, but it can be a bit of a question on what colors to wear with it — in addition to the blue striped blouse (pictured), there are a lot of pictures of the plaid suit styled with solid black.
The suiting is available in a bunch of options — a wide leg pant, a skinnier ankle pant; a double-breasted blazer, a notched one-button blazer. There’s even a matching strapless midi dress (which always feels like you need to channel Rene Russo in The Thomas Crown Affair, but maybe that’s me).
(Psst: here are my other favorite fashion movies for work outfits!)
