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!
As far as festive blazers and suits go, they can go a bit too far towards the “society lady at a wedding” end of things, and I will fully grant you that this Oscar de la Renta suit is, perhaps, a bit too close to that dividing line.
But: IT’S SO GORGEOUS.
I love the ombre, and the cut of it, and the way the metallic threads catch the light. Could you wear both pieces as separates? I think yes — I can see the skirt with a silky, slinky camisole, or perhaps even a leather jacket. Bustier, perhaps. The blazer I think would be easier to use as a festive blazer: throw it on with all black and you’re set. For the weekend, try it with a pair of black velvet trousers and use it as your outerwear. (Hey, pull it out for Halloween and be the admittedly niche character from Desperately Seeking Susan.)
Gorgeous. It does, of course, cost an arm and a leg (almost $7500 for both pieces)… but, again: GORGEOUS. The featured picture is from NET-A-PORTER, but you can also find it at Neiman Marcus, Saks, Bloomingdale’s, and others. There’s also a matching dress.
