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!
Guess what time of year it is, ladies? Light blue suit season! Yes, I may be the only person who actually recognizes this as a season, but I’ve noticed every year that almost every retailer eventually has a light blue suit. First up this year: this fun flare-legged version from Ann Taylor.
Ann Taylor has the flares, the blazer, a sheath dress, a vest, and (ooooh) a long trench coat that looks quite nice.
As I’ve said before, I’ve always found a light blue suit to be incredibly versatile (with duskier colors being a bit more versatile than brighter ones). Wear it as you would a gray suit — with neutrals like black, navy, ivory, as well as less common neutrals like olive and brown. Wear it with dark reds, greens and purples — as well as lighter pastel shades.
The pieces here are $109-$239, with the main suiting pieces marked down 30% to $76-$146.
