When it comes to women's career wear the range and flexibility in styling is far greater than their male counterpart. While men are often relegated to the dark suit, white or light blue shirt, and power tie, women's options can run the full gambit from sweaters to flowy tops and their own version of the women's power suit. Creating a working career wardrobe can mean the difference between being seen (and treated) like an entry level gal or a top flight exec. Here are three sure fire looks that can help you climb the cop orate ladder.
The BLACK Colored Pants Suit
In Men's career clothing black should be avoided at all cost. Its a very "night life" type suit and just does not translate well for a business setting. This rule goes out the window for women. The Black colored suit is for women what the navy suit is for men. its the go-to-suit. The dark color goes with just about everything and flatters every body. Like its cousin "the little black dress" its about perfect for every business occasion. While men wear black suits for after hours, the fact that women rarely if ever wear a suit for after 9-5 events helps the women's black suit lose the stigma of a party suit. Instead it becomes a sleek and elegant option for just about any day of the week.
-Look for a black suit in a pants and jacket version. If there is one suit in your closet that should be more masculine it should be this one.
-Look for a 100% wool fabric. Most women's suits are made of synthetic materials such as polyester or viscose, which has a tendency to have a little shine to it after repeated pressings. Wool holds up better over time not too mention wool has a richer texture and better drape to it, If you are going to invest in one great suit a 100% black wool suit would be the perfect one to do it with.
The Interchangeable Textured Blue Suit
This is one of the most overlooked advantages of women's suits...the fact that they can be mixed and matched to create multiple outfits. One suit that does this better than any is a textured blue suit. It can be worn as a pants suit, or you can take the jacket and mix it with some khaki trousers and you have a blazer outfit, or you can take it and pair it with a matching skirt and you have a skirt suit.
-Look for a heavy texture such as crepe or tweed or a distinct color such as a Sharkskin blue and black to help maximize the mixing and matching possibilities.
-Going to a women's custom suits maker is a great option for this out fit as they will have the most options when it comes to fabric selection and ability to cut the suit for you
The Power Pin Stripe Gray Suit
A powerful pin stripe is a suit that make a statement. This is something rarely seen in women's suits. Traditionally the pattern worn by bankers, it was said to be a homage to the ledger books they used, the pinstripe suit is the ultimate business suit. Its the suit to have when you need to look your most capable.
-Look for bold yet soft chalk stripes(looks like you drew them on with chalk) which is a very conservative stripe yet remains very distinct.
-Avoid heavy bold rope stripes (looks like the stripes are shaped like rope) which remind just about every body of Al Capone.
