Suit of the Week: COS

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!

This brownish gray color (“stone melange” according to COS) is surprisingly versatile… it feels a bit lighter than an all black suit, less formal than a gray or navy one, and yet you can wear it with all of those colors.

(For once I am NOT a fan of the turtleneck with thumbholes… I feel like any shade too close to beige/ivory veers into “mummy!” territory.)

The cut of the suit isn't for everyone, but it reminds me of some Ferragamo suits we've posted recently — and it is a fresh look.

The wool blazer is $359, and the pants are $259.
