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: check out our big roundup for the best women’s suits of 2025!

If you like patterns, Ann Taylor has two great contenders for Suit of the Week: I’m ultimately going for this pretty navy and white plaid one (pictured above), in part because it has a fabulous matching square-necked sheath dress to go with it. (The other one, a black and white, is a bit bolder.)

The wide flared pants here look perfect if you like those — but they’re definitely a look. I’m curious — if your first suits were in the ankle pants era of the aughts, are you wearing flared and wide legs now — and if so, how are you wearing them?

The suit pieces here are $139-$198, and available in sizes 00-18 and 00P-16P. (Ann Taylor is one of our favorite sources for petite suits — we just updated our big roundup this week!)

Hunting for a suit in a print or pattern? As of 2025, for more traditional prints, Ann Taylor has a great navy plaid as well as a black and white plaid. M.M.LaFleur has a lovely houndstooth option, a plaid, and a black-and-white check; J.Crew also has a number of striped suits, and Brooks Brothers has a surprisingly nice paisley corduroy suit (also on sale). For plus sizes, we love this polka dot suit from Eloquii!
