The number one item on my wish list this fall is a suit. Ok maybe not one suit, perhaps two–an everyday type, and another I can dress up. Sure standout blazers have become a staple women rely on, but the suits today feel reminiscent of the 90s minimalism designers such as Jil Sander perfected. It isn’t about power suit dressing, it’s about the elegance and ease of wearing a uniform, slipping on a white tee shirt like Claire Thomson-Jonville above, or a slim cashmere sweater, sneakers or boots. Or you could skip the jacket and opt for a vest a la Cate Blanchett below.
Tibi white blazer, $695, and pants, $550; Joseph pinstriped blazer, $895, and pants $515; Bella Freud corduroy blazer, $1060, and pants, $575.
SEA plaid blazer, $545 and pants, $380; Stella McCartney vest, $960, and pants, $865.
