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 this suit from Theory — but I'm curious for your thoughts on the trouser length, as styled here.

First, the suit: This is part of their Good Wool collection, and the blazer is available in sizes 00-16. I personally lurve the “dark iris” color, pictured here, and would suggest wearing it like a navy or olive if you want it to have a neutral feel… but you could also have fun with it and wear a print blouse with lots of purples, or go the other way with contrasting colors like reds, hot pinks, and oranges. Love.

The blazer comes in four other colors in the good wool, and they also have 3 colors available in a “sleek flannel,” which is fantastic if you're looking for a suit for cold weather. (I tend to think of their Good Wool as seasonless, but flannel wool — which has a brushed, cozy quality — as being best for winter.)

There are a number of matching pieces, including a cute vest with wrapped details, and THREE cuts of pants: flared, straight, and the cropped ankle pant, Treeca. There's also a dress (that's unfortunately really short, at least on the model) and a second blazer (Carissa).

Now, a minor note: I think the picture above is showing it with the straight pants — how do we feel about the hemming? I myself wish it were just a few inches longer so it brushes the very top of her foot… what are your thoughts?
