Suit of the Week: Lafayette 148 New York

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!

I love the dark teal blue color of this suit from Lafayette 148 New York. I’m intrigued what you guys think of the buttons — I don’t think we’ve seen a blazer with three buttons in quite a while. (If the suit has a ’90s feel to it, this is probably why!)

The old advice — from Stacy and Clinton, at least — was always “the more buttons, the better it fits a bigger bust” — but I’m not sure I’ve ever found that true personally. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

The suit pieces are $598 – $1398, at Neiman Marcus, available in sizes 00-18.

As of 2025, if you’re hunting for teal or blue-green suiting, look to Argent, M.M.LaFleur, and Reiss. Nordstrom has a few lucky sizes left in these statement suits from L’Agence and St. John’s, as does Talbots for this pretty twill suit. In plus sizes, check out the Moroccan blue suit at Eloquii.
